Building an addition onto your home is different from a remodel to an existing room. In Columbus, OH building a home addition typically adds new several hundred square feet and requires installing all new everything. This includes the foundation, walls, ceiling and roof as well as mechanical systems like electrical, plumbing and heating. Because you are adding something instead of changing a space that already exists, costs for a home addition project can vary greatly.
Calculating the cost of a home addition requires knowing first the design, scope and size of the project and the type of room you want to add. Will new utilities be required? Maybe not for a sunroom but definitely for a new bathroom. There are also many other variables, including permits, trade prices and material costs.
