Home Addition Costs in Broward County
The cost of building a home addition in Broward can range from $170 – $220+ per sq. ft. and is heavily affected by the features/materials of the home addition, as well as the city or municipality in which the home resides.
How Features & Materials Affect Cost
Aside from the size of the home addition, utilities such as electrical, plumbing, and air conditioning are the next big factors affecting costs. The amount of electrical work required can vary from adding light fixtures & outlets to upgrading the service panel in order to support the home addition’s power consumption. Re-routing existing plumbing or installing new plumbing for bathrooms and laundry rooms will also increase the cost of a home addition. The living space will also require air conditioning & heating, which can often be resolved with an A/C wall unit or mini-split system, but can also require upgrading the existing HVAC to support the new living space.
The wide range of materials available when creating a home addition can also affect cost. Floor tile for example, can double in price from ceramic to porcelain. The style & brand of light fixtures and plumbing fixtures varies from “contractor grade” to designer products.
How Cities & Municipalities Affect Cost
All cities and municipalities require property owners to follow local building codes. Some may not even allow to build a home addition due to the property setbacks. The setbacks are a designated area around a structure where building is prohibited for a number of reasons, including safety and environmental concerns.
Landscape preservation, tree preservation and architectural uniformity are the most common reasons for increased costs due to local regulations. Environmental mitigation may be required to offset environmental impact of a home addition and the requirements vary in different cities and municipalities.
Limited Space? Add 2nd Story!
A second-floor addition is also common in Broward, especially if your property has limited building space. Common design practice in building a second-floor addition is to start by duplicating the first floor and eliminating none essential areas. For example, you will not need a second kitchen upstairs so it can be replaced by a room on the second floor. By duplicating the area of the first-floor bathrooms you also ensure that the main utilities that run to them will be aligned from one floor to the next.
