The planning and construction of a new extension to your house is a great project because it is an excellent way to invest money and make profits when the value of future market house increases. However, the original cost per foot square (929.03 cm²) for an extension can be high and requires tight budgets.

Construction attachments

Most extensions require a completely new construction, since the elements foundational to new materials for roofs and gutters. Basically, this is almost as much as building a new house, so owners often use new construction costs to calculate how much they have to spend homes. Overall, in 2011 cost between US $ 100 and US $ 300 per square foot (929.03 cm²) build a new house, like most expansions, not including any extension or complicated furniture as canteens, but electricity, plumbing and other necessities.

Reshuffle

For some owners, the line between expansion and remodeling is very vague, as they may seem easier to remodel a house and increase its size at the same time. These remodeling costs are very similar to the price of new housing construction in 2011 ranged between US $ 115 and US $ 250 per square foot (929.03 cm²) for remodeling a single room with an extension. A two-story extension tends to start at the highest limit of US $ 175, while an expansion of multiple rooms down to the range between US $ 150 and US $ 325.

Variants

There are important factors that affect the price variations of the expansion of a house. One is the location, as labor and material prices always vary from place to place; but the main factor is the quality of materials that homeowners choose, because wood costs more than the carpet and the price of the stone is greater than vinyl, and so prices may rapidly increase to US $ 300 and more with the choice of high-end materials. For this reason, it may be difficult to create averages without having an idea of ​​what the owner wants.

Expansion of existing spaces

Build additional space may not seem an extension, if not in many cases allow homeowners to change the attic or basement for a new meeting. In this case, prices are much lower because the basic structure is already built. Basements can cost around US $ 40 per square foot (929.03 cm²), while the attic can cost less, equal or more depending on the electrical system and the existing pipe.
