Has anyone hired a contractor to do this?
If so, can you please provide details cost and contact details of the contractor.
Thank you very much

We have a big yard with plenty of room to the side of the house where the den is. That room was way too small. We had that outside wall knocked out, the room expanded 10 feet out with a safe room, 7' by 8' added behind that, outside wall of hall bath. We put shelves in that room so it can be used as a walk in closet but had a 36" wide heavy door at the entrance. Since our walls are all solid concrete blocks, we wanted a windowless room that we could use as a safe room during hurricanes, tropical storms or tornadoes. Used it during Irma but also as extra secured storage space. $28,000 but the contractor, out of Tavares, may not be in business anymore. They did an excellent job, McCloskey Homes.
