If you could be a little more vague and more unspecific that would help in answering your question.
It is apparent from my question that I am a Contractor and am intimately familiar with the process so your post is spot on. How about "I need to know x,y and z in order to give an answer." Damn.
How about this? I DON'T KNOW shite about building, have never had a house built and don't want to get fricked over. I am curious what are some ballpark per SF figures for residential construction to use as a starting point.

I am a contractor and my advice is to not worry about $/sf.
Get your scope defined of exactly what you want to do and take bids.
By the information you have given, I could answer 100/ft or 300/ft and could be correct either way. Renovations are always more expensive because of the unknowns. You don't want a contractor to give you a low bid/ft and then change order your arse the entire way.

Contractors don't price remodels based on SF. And you can't get a remodel price w/o being more specific.
Square footage of the addition?
Square footage of the remodel?
Any demo required?
Is the lot cleared?
Is dirt work required?
Is the exterior veneer brick, stucco, siding, etc.?
Wood clad windows or vinyl?
Ceiling heights?
Trim package?
Stained or paint grade doors?
Flooring?
Do you want a $1,000 tub or a $12,000 tub?
Marble or laminate countertops?
Is your electrical panel big enough to handle the addition?
Those a are just a couple of 100 questions that need to be answered.
