Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
To estimate the cost per square foot, you should consider the type of addition (basic, mid-range, premium), the quality of materials, and the complexity of the design. Basic additions with standard materials might start at $50–$129.08 per square foot, while high-end or custom additions can go up to $485 per square foot.
The typical cost per square foot usually includes the construction labor and standard-grade construction materials. This would cover framing, basic electrical, plumbing (if applicable), and standard finishes. Luxury materials, extensive customization, or specialized installations will increase this base rate.
Building up, usually for a second story, is generally more expensive than building out. Costs for building out can range from $50 to $150 per square foot, whereas building up can range from $150 to $350 per square foot due to structural requirements and increased complexity.
An addition typically falls into the 'premium' range ($225–$485 per sq ft) due to luxury materials such as high-end flooring, custom cabinetry, or specialized appliances. Other factors include complex architectural designs, extensive custom features, or specialized spaces like gourmet kitchens or spa-like bathrooms requiring significant plumbing and electrical work.
Generally, initial per-square-foot estimates often focus on construction materials and labor. However, for a complete project quote, contractors must factor in additional costs such as permits (required in Gwinnett County) and architectural/engineering design fees, which contribute to the overall project budget but may not be explicitly included in the base per-square-foot construction cost.
