[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those NDI prices are for building the house.  Add more for demo of current house and lot prep.  Unless you're looking at more of a 400k addition, new construction vs. addition aren't in the same financial ballpark.[/quote]

+1. I wish the poster(s) obsessed with everyone that 250k addition means they should build new understood this.[/quote]

NDI is one of the few home construction companies that seems honest and puts their pricing out in the open.

Their homes start at 250k. Site work, permits and tearing down is about 50 to 75k.

I did a two story addition and gut for 250k  in the past. I wish I had come up with the extra 50k  and did a new ndi build. Of course the contractor had crept up the price when things like old pipes or issues with the original home were discovered after starting.

If at least one person considers tearing down over the prices these "con" tractors quote for additions, my job is done.[/quote]

But would it really have taken just an extra 50K? What if you had wanted hardwood floors instead of carpet or some other upgrades? Where would you have lived while this new home was being built? If you have to spend $3000/month for temporary housing that would add up very quickly too. Ultimately, you probably would have had to come up with an extra $100,000 -$150,000 which is a different ballgame for a lot of us. [/quote]
