Let’s Talk About Money And Remodels/Additions (Here’s The Total Estimated Cost Of Our Original Plan)

First, let me remind you what the unique plan was, after we did some tweaking to the ground plan. That is what the ultimate plan for the large addition seemed like.

And behind that was a big bed room. This plan additionally had two decent-sized storage closets, one which was accessible from the bed room for Matt’s gear, and one accessible to the brand new household room the place I may have a coat closet and likewise retailer issues just like the ten chairs I’ve for our Wednesday gatherings. This plan additionally had a brand new laundry room and a very massive household room.

Right here’s the road merchandise estimate I received from the contractor for that smaller 970-square-foot addition with out the closets. (That is for these of you who just like the nitty gritty particulars. 😀 ):

In fact, that’s not even the grand complete, as a result of on the estimate, I discover this notice on the backside:

The house owner acknowledges that they’re accountable to supply all end fixtures/home equipment that aren’t particularly included above and are accountable to ensure they’re on the challenge website when wanted to keep away from schedule delays or further journey expenses. These things are outdoors of the supplies scope of this estimate. End fixtures embody: door locks and {hardware}, cupboard {hardware}, bathrooms, sinks, lights, ceiling followers, plumbing fixtures, rest room accent bars, mirrors, coat or organizing {hardware}, blinds, and many others.

You’ll discover that there was a laundry room on the plan, however no laundry room cupboards listed on the estimate. No countertop listed. So these issues can be as well as. I might estimate that cupboards and counter tops for a laundry room that measurement can be round $8000 minimal.

Additionally not listed:

• Any kind of closet group system (I’d need PAX wardrobes)
• Any and all furnishings and ornamental gadgets.

I haven’t priced out particular furnishings and ornamental gadgets, however for the plan proven above, I’d want a headboard or mattress, two bedside tables, an space rug, draperies, window shades, lamps, ceiling fan, and different ornamental gadgets for the bed room. For the household room, I’d want two sofas, two chairs, a espresso desk or ottoman, finish tables, an space rug, lamps, draperies, bookcases or different “filler” furnishings, ornamental gadgets, lighting, and many others.

Estimating these issues with out having a particular design/adorning plan may be very difficult, however I might think about that I may do the bed room for about $5000 (if I DIY some issues, clearly), and I may do the lounge for about $8000 (with extra DIYing).

Along with the addition 😀 , it was additionally the plan to redo the kitchen as soon as we completed the addition. It’s one thing I’ve talked about for some time now as a result of our present kitchen is small, inefficient, and was executed on a really tight finances 10 years in the past. So the plan was (1) construct and end the addition, after which (2) rework the kitchen.

I’ve been pricing out IKEA cupboards for numerous future plans (as you realize as a result of I’ve shared them with you), and even retaining the kitchen the place it’s, which was the plan with the large addition, new cupboards would have been about $15,000. New counter tops would have been about $3000 minimal. New home equipment are about $8000 minimal (however most likely extra, as a result of I need the matte white Cafe home equipment).
