However, it typically adds value to your home when you sell it. The average home addition cost is difficult to specify due to a variety of variables, including; region, local contractor labor costs, size and type of home addition, and building materials used. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">What may sound surprising, the average cost of a home addition per square foot is cheaper when building up than building out. Building up does not require any excavation and foundation work, thus why the average home addition cost is cheaper. This said, building up has its own set of unique problems.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Often building a second story addition requires the occupants of the home to move out for some period of time during the construction.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In addition, extra care and insurance is required for protecting the contents of the home during the construction of the home addition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Moreover, extensive demolition, e.g. removing the home\u2019s roof, or at least a portion of it, is required. And, a new roof has to be installed onto the home once the second story addition walls have been framed in. In addition, the existing home\u2019s framing, particularly the first floor\u2019s ceiling joists, typically need to be beefed up with larger lumber.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"50%\">\n<p align=\"center\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- mid_page_300x250_ad_052117 --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 300px; height: 250px;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3988490936633155\" data-ad-slot=\"8806496266\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"49%\">\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Wide Variation in Average Home Addition Costs<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">At the national level, room addition cost estimates can vary from as low as $70 per square foot, to well over $200 per square foot. The average home addition cost for a basic attached family room addition with no plumbing, and no expansion of the HVAC system will cost $100 per square foot or more. However, the larger the family room addition, the lower the cost per square foot. Like the manufacturing of anything, the larger the volume, the lower the unit cost; economies of scale.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Average Home Addition Costs for Rough Framing<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">On a national level just the framing of an addition costs on average around $8 to $10 per square foot. Again, the cost per square foot decreases with the increase in size of the home addition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">This cost relates to just the framing of the walls and roof, but does not include the cost of installing windows and exterior doors or shingling the roof.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Average Home Addition Costs That Include Plumbing<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">An addition that includes plumbing greatly impacts the average cost of a home addition per square foot. With kitchen additions, the home addition cost per square foot could jump to well over $200 per square foot, due to the required additional plumbing, cabinetry, appliances, specialty lighting and higher end flooring products. It\u2019s a similar situation with bathroom additions, though their costs per square foot are not quite as high as a kitchen addition.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\">\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Generate a Solid Plan before Moving Forward<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">First, it\u2019s imperative to clearly articulate why the need for the additional living space. Second, come up with a figure on how much you can afford to spend on a home addition. Then, develop a draft set of home addition plans. From these plans you should be able to get some rough estimates on your home addition costs. Based on these initial cost estimates, you can go back and adjust the size of the home addition to match your budget.<\/span><\/td>\n<td width=\"49%\"><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-381 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Home_Addition_Bid_Sheets_Ad_250x250.jpg\" alt=\"Home Addition Bid Sheets\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Home_Addition_Bid_Sheets_Ad_250x250.jpg 250w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Home_Addition_Bid_Sheets_Ad_250x250-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">It is well worth the cost and time to hire an architect to draw up a set of detailed plans.
