I informed the building/zoning department that our repair was necessitating complete reconstruction of this part of the house.

If you are in a location that has a risk of a large number of claims from other property owners at the same time (think: CA wildfires, midwest tornadoes, east coast hurricanes), you may want to add 20-30% to the reconstruction cost because in the event of a mass catastrophe, hundreds of other claimants will be trying to employ the same, small pool of available contractors and prices will escalate.
