How much to add on?
Answers:
It will depend on who the room is for. If it's a guest room that is plenty, if it's for a child, you may want to go 12x12. Also think of what furniture you are going to be putting in the room, how much room you will need for that and what size of bed you are going to be putting in there. You may want to go outside and line out a 10x10 and 12x12 and see what you think woudl work best. You get to small and it will be to cramped for a fulltime bedroom, but for guest, they don't need much room and you don't want them to get to comfortable anyhow!

should not be too much since there will be no plumbing which is one of the most costly construction projects.
also will depend on no. of windows and height of ceilings. ( so many variables)

It sounds as if you are planning an addition.
Keep in mind that where you live and what you choose for your addition will dramatically change your price. No matter what, it is more per square foot than new construction. It also depends on who does the addition, a joe-shmoe can do this much cheaper, but any licensed/bonded/insured renovator should be in this range.
In my area, Michigan/Ontario, the info is as follows:
- If you are going up, as in a second story or additional second story space, you could be looking at anywhere between 18-25k - 35-40K+.
- If you are going out on your addition, you will need footings, a basement or crawlspace, and so the cost is higher than going up, so lets say 30-40K - 60-70k+.
As you can see... this is not a cheap reno. But when it comes time to sell the home, being able to say that you have and additional bedroom AND bath can be a huge feature!
Hope this helps.
