Its not as easy to just come up with a figure. questions to be answered

-- what type of windows will you use, will they be low e, insulated, tempered etc. Big difference in cost depending upon the brand and type of window.

-- are you going to raise the lanai floor to prevent having a step down from teh family room?

-- once you enclose the lanai, are you going to have electric plugs added to the outside walls, cable outlet relocated, How about heat/or AC for the new enclosure.

-- Are you going to leave the walls stucco or put in drywall.

-- the Fan, are you changing it from an outdoor to a more modern indoor fan? are you going to install overhead CAM lighting?

-- exterior door , you will need to replace the screen door.

-- what type of flooring are you going to use: Tile to match the family room??

Start answering questions like these and now you will be comparing apples to apples!
