Home Addition -doubling the square feet

[Vaquero]

[Sir Henry]

I spoke with an architect/draftsman and he will be drawing a blueprint. We talked about permits and codes and I found out Price County says I only have to meet state requirements. The township only requires a permit with no inspections.

I’m looking at a mid-fall start date with some tear down of the existing garage in late summer. The plan is to have the outside completed by the time winter comes. The inside can be completed in the winter months. I think I’ll be my own General Contractor.

I’m hoping to complete this 1,600 square foot project at $155 a square foot which will include a 720 square foot garage not counted in the 1,600. Breaking it down I figured $50 a square foot for the garage, $125 for the main addition and $300 for the bathroom.
