I think what you are seeing is fairly typical, because from design/engineering to the finish product will involve 8 or 10 subcontractors ( everyone is a specialist), and the general contractor adds his piece of the pie to each one. Also, you will find that the process will take quite a bit longer than you may expect.

I am curious what the addition works out to as far as cost/sq.ft?

Call Bob Bingman (Bellview Construction) I would bet his estimate will be lower than the others and he does beautiful work. He always answers his cell or will call you right back. His Cell is 352 207 6869.
