I am wondering what the approximate cost would be to build a rear extension on a 20 x 40 attached townhouse (assuming FAR permits it). I recall a past post or two that had a rough square footage calculation. In particular, I am curious to compare a one story extension cost with a two story cost. Thanks.

  1. Would also like the benefit of your experience – can you tell us how long it took from start to finish? WOuld you be willing to share over a cup of java (my treat), or perhaps a quick phone call? If so, pls email offline. This is so much of what this blog is most useful for.
    Thanks

  2. Anonymous 2:06, am I right that you did your extension for about $30K (150 sf * $200/sf). That’s less expensive than I would have thought. Did you use an architect? Fees for them included?

    Would appreciate the benefit of your experience.

  3. I just added a 150 sq. ft extension ( 1 story) and calculated the cose to be $200/ sq. ft. This included excavation, foundation/ footing, walls ( CMU),electrical, insulation, windows and roof…….
