Addition Estimates and Costs
To calculate a project’s Home Additions approximate estimate, you have to take a lot of factors into account. This is because, in a Remodeling and Additions project there is no way that the cost can be estimated without making a detailed study of the requirements and needs of a particular family.
For instance, take a family that needs an extra bedroom and bathroom to be added for their kids. Their existing Houston home is positioned on a flat lot, with enough room to have a addition made where they plan to. Their present home also has a simple roof plan that allows for easy utility connections to be made without any big structural changes to their home. The plumbing network is flexible enough for an additional bathroom, and installing connections for the drain and water supply is easy. The process of obtaining construction permits and procedures is not at all complicated, resulting in reduced time, money and efforts for the contractor. Besides since it is a kids’ space the project doesn't include costly details.
On the other hand, a young single adult could be looking to refashion an existing bathroom in his Houston area condo. However, the condo association has very stringent regulations relating to any construction activities. It is possible that the time required may be more than that spent in the previous family’s case. It may also result in a much higher cost as the contractor would have to make efforts to get a clearance from the condo association to finish the task. All this expenditure doesn't even take into consideration the cost of bathroom fixtures, tiles, bath tub, countertops etc. Bathroom fixtures tend to be expensive. So, this young woman's bathroom remodeling is sure to cost more unlike the previous family who got their kids’ room done with only essentials and no fancy items.
Contractors and builders in the Houston area will provide you a range of Price per Square Foot for you to determine the total outlay for the project. The first family could likely be budgeted between a cost range of $70/foot to $150/foot. Our young professional in the second instance was likely to have a higher range of between $200 and $400 per square feet because of all the expensive fittings involved. The bathrooms and kitchens tend to be the most expensive rooms in a home, because these include most of a home’s systems like the electrical, plumbing, HVAC system.
The best way to sum up the total pricing of your project is by calculating your own expectations. You first need to know what you desire out of the project, and then see if it fits your budget. Also, you could hire a professional Home Additions who has a sound reputation. We can help you get in contact with professionals in your Houston region so that you can choose the very best.
Before you talk to a contractor it's important to first understand what you want from the project. Then you can explain your vision to the contractor so he is able to execute your project. Petty hurdles and delays are normal in any large project, and you must steel yourself for these.
Wondering what the cost estimate of your project Home Additions is? Don’t know where to begin asking your contractor Houston? Below listed are A few guidelines for you.
1. How BIG is my Home Additions project estimated to be?
-Think in terms of square feet.
2. What structural changes are needed?
- Will it require an excavation or fill? Is there any sort of clearing necessary? Is it on a rocky uneven land or a flat lot? Is the drain scheme fine?
- Any changes to be made to the foundation?
-Does the place suit the sort of project you aspire? If on an existing building or house, then is the foundation strong enough for another floor to come up on it?
3. Have you planned the number of doors and windows that you want?
-Always know before deciding the openings on the outer four walls of your house, that it is these openings that are responsible for room temperature inside the house.
4. Any particulars specifically for the roof of my Home Additions project?
- Flat roof or commercial style roof? Are there angles that will need special concentration?
- What variety or string of shingles or tile do you want? Expensive clay tiles or molded rubber slate look-alikes? Simple 1 tab shingles?
5. What about interior finishes?
- Pricey, common door hardware or more production-level knobs and levers?
-Based on your budget and area you can either pick the standard carpet or Vinyl flooring, or get the luxurious solid wood, designer tiles or marble.
-Figure out how much carpentry you intend to get done.
- What style of countertops and durable surface materials do you suggest? Laminate countertops are by and large the least expensive decision s (although expensive laminate products available), while solid surface natural stone (granite, marble) or man-made solid surface countertops (quartz, aggregate, concrete, Corian) are more steeply priced.
- Lighting and electricity specifications?
-Is there need for a climate control system?
- What sort of fixtures are you considering? How much plumbing is necessary?

We are thinking about adding on to our house. We live in Waterford sub-division and have the ability to add on with permission from the committee. We have a single level home right and want to add a second story over the back half of the house and maybe extend the back wall of the house. The reason we want to go up is the limited size of our back yard. In this space I would need a Great Room, and Master bedroom w/ a full bath. On the main level we may chose to redo the kitchen area as well...?
