Howdy,
I just received an estimate range of $125.00 to $150.00 per square foot for an addition shell in the Washington DC/Baltimore Maryland corridor. The addition is roughly 650 square feet, with a studded basement level to line up with my ground level walk-out basement, a main level, and attic trusses on the roof. This cost includes the foundation, "basement" slab, framing, vinyl siding and roof. I'm buying the windows and handling the permits. The addition is a boring 16'x40' rectangle.
Maybe it's time for me wake up and realize construction ain't cheap, but boy this really smarts!
Is this cost in the ballpark or should I keep looking.
Thanks.
