How'd that takeoff go?....pm me

What are the dimensions of the addition? 16x20? 18x18? 13x25?

A good lone framer should be able to get it done in 10 to 12 hours, so for labor, I'd say $1000 to $1500. As far as material costs, that really depends on a lot of different things.

Without more details, there is really no way to estimate.

I'm always surprised, but I would say about 5 or 6 grand.

I would be pretty impressed with a guy who could do this alone, including roof in 10-12 hours.

JumboJack

It is 17x19...Sheer wall an all three sides...I don't think I could do it in a day and a half..The roof is not very tricky put it's not going to build it's self.Lots of jack rafters.

If the roof is a cut roof, then probably 2+ days. Still, labor shouldn't exceed $1500.

Materials for the floor: ~$1200.
Walls (2x4 - OSB and wrapped - 16 centers - double top plate) ~$550.
Roof (cut in 2x8 hip - 24 centers - OSB sheeted) ~$1500.

Guessing without seeing the details I'd say overall it should cost roughly $4500 for frame and framing materials.

EDIT* I just noticed the title says SoCal framer bid...I'm probably way off, I'm in Colorado.

Gotta remember SoCal runs off a entirely different money scale. It is strange to do work in IL and also in Cali. There are some prices you go wow that cheap and some you go damn I am changing what i do for a living.

variolenny

in new york we charge $30 a sq ft and that includes , sill seal and termite shield, all lumber and labor, all hurricane strapping and hold downs, and a complete clean up including dumpster. good luck

A baseline would be the established valuation figure at your Local Building Department. $65.00 per square foot around here (OC) Add $ for soil export, drainage, gutters, extra electrical, trash haul out, job accessibility, chemical toilet, etc. when applicable.
