[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thank you for the recommendations! Each architect provided a rough estimate for the full project cost (including build). We were just surprised at how different the estimates were. The first person estimated about 500k and the second was 1.5m. They both seemed to believe that given their experience with the bidding process and builders, their estimates were fairly accurate.[/quote] $500k sounds way low. People on This Board will go on and on about how you can get this or that for less money, but everyone I actually know irl who has done a nice renovation/expansion of a house in NW DC or MD has spent considerably more than that unless it was 20 years ago. [/quote] +1 OP is describing basically a total gut plus a two story addition, in NW during Covid when things are 2x more expensive at least. No way that comes in anywhere close to $500k.[/quote]
