I ran across this on another forum, Backstreets.com . I thought I would share with you guys. Should I refer him to this site?





Anybody with similar experience ever go through this -- what's a ballpark figure for a residential addition with the following specs, northern NJ:

Existing home is a small 1300 s.f. 1940 colonial with 3 BRs, 1.5 baths and a deck. Here's the job:

Remove existing deck

Add 2-story, approximate 700 sf addition out the back of the house, consisting of 1st floor family room (260 sf), 1st floor office (100 sf); on 2nd floor, above FR add master bedroom with shower-bathroom (260 sf) and above office extend an existing BR (100 sf). Include masonry, framing, cedar shingles, asphalt roof, Andersen Windows, drywall, oak floors (except bath -- tile), plumbing (shower, sink, toilet), electrical.

Budget for new deck and central air throughout entire house.

Don't include bath fixtures or painting in estimate.

140K for the addition
20K for the deck

And add 50k if you want them both functional and safe
