How Much Does a Home Addition Cost in the Denver Metro Area?

Is your home starting to feel a little cramped? Maybe you’ve added to the size of your family, want more guest rooms, or would like more leisure space. A home addition may be the perfect solution for your needs.

In addition to making your home more comfortable, a cost-effective home addition can increase your property value and make your house easier to sell when the time comes.

Four Steps to Providing the Estimate

You may wonder how much a home addition costs in the Denver area and what goes into the design and estimation process. Although each project has unique aspects, our approach generally involves these four steps:

1. Review construction specifications.

The construction specifications outline required materials grades, installation methods, who is responsible for which costs, and anything else that affects the construction cost. It also includes payment terms and insurance requirements.

2. Review construction drawings.

Architectural drawings and associated technical details help us understand the scope of the work we will perform to execute the project.

3. Perform a construction takeoff.

Based on the construction drawings, we detail every process and material needed to complete the process. Then we calculate unit costs and, finally, overall costs.

4. Build our estimate.

Finally, we prepare a detailed, concise, and accurate estimate based on the specific drawings included.
