Build your own mini power plant www.earth4energy.com We are looking to put a 2nd story on our bungalow and want plans drawn. We have quite a few ideas and need to know where to start. Remodels can (well, should) never be given a lump-sum estimate because no one can predict what the project will entail precisely until the demo work is done and you know exactly what you are starting with for new construction. I wouldn’t say that you need to have a plan drawn up, just ideas of what you are looking for. Adding a second floor to a bungalow should (emphasize should) be pretty straightforward. The three things that initially need to be (simultaneously) considered are 1) where the stair leaves the main floor, 2) the upper floor plan, and 3) the roof lines. The architect will also look at permit requirements and do some background work for you to find if there are height or other restrictions for your lot. My husband and I want to add an addition that consists of a bedroom, bathroom, living room, and three season room. The approximate square footage is 800. Dose anyone have an approximate amount or where we would start to get the estimate without using a contractor? Like Allison, I suggest that you really consider contacting local remodeling contractors in your area to see what it would cost to have them do the addition for you. Call the local remodelers and get their free estimates. In fact, for your convenience, here is a handyman site I use often, which has a section devoted to home improvement articles, where you’ll also find towards the far left bottom of the following home improvement page a bright, kind-of-orange home-guru Bob Villa-endorsed ad that offers up to four (4) Free estimates that can be given to you very fast from local remodeling contractors in your area (again, this free-estimate offer is towards the very left-bottom of the following linked page): http://yourhandymanzone.com/Your_Handyman_Zone_How_To_Pages_Home_Improvement_Zone.htm Like I said, get a hold of some local remodelers. In exchange for giving them work, you also might be able to get a good deal on the material from the remodeling contractor, since, usually, they have access to wholesale pricing on building material given the great amount of installations they do. That’s the way to go. Good luck with your project!
My sister in law suffered a stroke and keeps falling as the house is too small and not handicapped accessible. My brother in law is also handicapped and walks with a cane. My niece has problems as well, is deaf and obese, and never leaves the house. Can anyone help them out? They live in NJ.
