I am just having a hard time believing that it would cost $112,000 to add a fcking bedroom or something like that to a house.

I have also heard though that you aren't doing new construction for less than $110/sf anywhere, so I am not sure where the $65/sf is coming from.

It's going to depend. I'm not telling you everything is going to cost $150/sf, but that's a general cost for a reno. It may only take $115/sf depending on what you're adding.

If there's a bathroom involved, I'd say no less than $125. Also is going to depend on the total SF added and the construction materials being used.

Don't kill the messenger bro, I was planning on adding on last year until I started getting prices back.

where did you get that $112,000 number from (150X750)?

If so 750 sf is one hell of a bedroom. Adding on to a house could easily cost $150sf if done properly. We aren't talking about Jethro enclosing a garage with 2x4s.
