J Scott San Francisco - Input on Renovation Costs
31 March 2018 | 39 replies
For really high end finishes and upgrades, count on $300 per sq. ft.So, if you are talking mid level higher end homes in CA and just the interior (no windows, stucco, roof, foundation,  landscaping, etc) then the price is under those figures.In my Beverly Hills flip, it is just over 3000 sq. ft. and the interior portion of the rehab (demo, architectural design, engineering, rough framing - added load bearing beams, moved load bearing walls, low voltage wiring, rough electrical and plumbing (some existing is used) or repositioned), finish electrical and plumbing, flooring (wood) plus tile in bathrooms and kitchen, new interior solid core doors and hardware, drywall (about 40%- 50% of existing was used), paint, custom cabinetry with custom stain, cabinet hardware, kitchen appliances - Viking) all of this will run me about $250k or just over $80 per sq. ft. not including any permit fees or project manager fees.Now, I am also doing new windows and exterior doors and sliders, roof, landscaping, decking, BBQ buildout, etc. and my total budget is $350k ($113 per sq. ft.)
