[quote=Anonymous]Do you have a split level, w/ kitchen on the upper level and family room, etc., on the lower level?  If so you are talking about adding in all new plumbing, electrical and gas line to the oven, correct?  In that event, I would say you are talking $50--100K depending on how big the space is and how nice you want your finishes and fixtures to be.  Our architect uses $200-250/sf as a rule of thumb for new construction with "average" finishes in MoCo, for one.  We tend to select "better than average" finishes, so for our back-of-the-envelope budgeting on our new kitchen w/ new electrical and mechanical we are using $300/sf as a very, very rough rule of thumb.  If you will be tapping into existing electrical and mechanical (i.e. putting the new kitchen where a bathroom currently sits, which at least would get you existing plumbing access, though not gas line access), you will likely have some savings and possibly keep it in the $50K range.

You should also evaluate the electrical capacity you currently have (110 panel? or 220?) as if lower capacity, you may need to heavy-up, which is not cheap, if you need more electirical capacity to run a bunch of new appliances, the AC, etc.[/quote]
