Pop Top costs in Denver, 1960s Ranch

[Adam Haman]

Good day everyone!

I'm seriously considering purchasing a home and popping the top. I know the price is going to be significant with the worker shortages here in Denver, but does anyone have any kind of ballpark guess for a 1400 sqft 2nd story addition to a 1960s brick facade Ranch? Looking to add 4 beds and 3 baths upstairs, of decent quality. Do you suggest Design/Build? Is there a way to have someone do the heavy construction and then turn it over to me for drywall and finishing? Thanks for any pricing or best practices insights you may have!
