[quote=briansd1]UCGal, if you don’t mind sharing, how much was your price per square foot on your addition?
I’m going to do a garage addition soon and some interior remodeling on my rental house. I think that this fall/winter is a good time to do construction.[/quote]
I don’t think it’s relevant for several reasons:
– Our project was a DETACHED companion unit.
– It was hillside development that involved several retaining walls and significant grading. This was a large portion of the budget. It involved more engineering, more inspections (city called for “special inspectors”, etc.
– We had labor issues… which resulted in multiple contractors and legal fees. Those were part of my total budget since the money was spent towards the end project.
not typical.
Also – we had costs you wouldn’t have had – sewer, water, and power lines all had to be trenched and connected in, etc.
Like I said – our project wasn’t typical so a $/sf is not really relevant unless you’re talking about a hillside project that involves building permits, stamped structual engineering plans, civil engineering permits…
