How in the world? I got multiple bids in Seattle to add a 200sqft dormer, 125k was the lowest bid I got.
A single bathroom around here costs a minimum of 15K to build, just to get people out to install the basics.
- mikeg8 5y agoI would like to publish a series of posts on my build process, including cost breakdowns, because I know there is interest after seeing some similar posts (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30193899 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30193899) Without knowing much about your project, a dormer add can get expensive because you are modifying the structural envelope of the home. although the new sq footage may be small, the building process is involved and risk is high because your modifying roof-lines, bearing walls etc. A dormer addition is not simple.
