How General Contractors Calculate
Home Addition Costs?

||||||||||
|
|
Typically the General Contractor should be able to turn around a home addition
cost estimate within a week as they frequently have a database of material
costs and they know their labor rates. Frankly, once they have your
requirements on your home addition project, they can plug the specifics into
their home addition cost estimator or calculator spreadsheet tool and have a
good home addition cost estimate on your project within minutes.

Carefully read over all of the specifics of the home addition cost estimate, looking particularly at the high price material items. Frequently you can negotiate on these costs or you can consider alternative materials, e.g. window manufactures or types. Regarding the labor costs, you may consider providing your own sweat equity to reduce these costs.
Also consider purchasing HomeAdditionPlus Bid Sheets for your next Home Addition Project. HomeAdditionPlus Bid Sheets are Home Addition Bid Sheets that help you through the contractor selection process and will save you money. You provide the Home Addition Bid Sheet to the prospective contractor and they fill it out and return it to you.
