Renov costs are typically more per sq/ft than new build....you never know what you're going to find once you start demo, and you must deal with the existing infrastructure. It's not as fast, clean, or straightforward to add on/renovate as it is to build from scratch.

Seriously? Even if all i'm doing is reconfiguring the walls and redoing the floors? The roof, foundation and exterior framing will all stay the same.

Would like to hear someone's experience with renovation/addition costs.
