Adding Sunroom to a new construction.

7 years ago

I've signedup contract with a builder to build my new house which is supposed to start in July. Lately me and my wife realised we need to add sunroom in our house around 130 to 150 sqft. Builder gave me a price of $58k. Which sounded very very overpriced to me. After one round of discussions I get price of $33k by reducing the scope of construction. This includes block foundation walls, standard baseboard and window casement throughout, a column supporting the beam creating the opening between kitchen and sunroom, a vinyl sliding glass door, standard double hung vinyl windows with no transoms. Can you please suggest if price seems reasonable? What would be the realistic price? This house is getting constructed in Glean Mills PA 19342.

Of course it is expensive, anything you change on a builders/developers plan is expensive. That is their business model and where they make a good portion of their profit on the home.

30K-70K would be about right for something basic, to something medium. The bigger issue is the design of that naming the home dark, and being an oven during summer.

See if there is a cost savings, that can be applied to the sunroom, in eliminating one of the stairs going up from the first floor.

Also why are there no windows in the kitchen?

Why is the foyer almost as big as the living room and the dining room?

Why is the dining room so far from the kitchen?

What is the space between the kitchen and the family room going to be used for?

Why two staircases going upstairs in what is not a mansion?

Why are there only windows on one wall in the living room and the office?
