[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It would be cheaper to tear down and build a new house. Truly, the scope of work you're doing makes absolutely no sense. Yes, they price is high, but you're basically asking for a new house within the limits of your current footprint - which is harder to do than just building from scratch an floorplan that works! So it's not THAT high, but you should've gotten an itemized breakdown.[/quote]

why do you think it is cheaper? Do you know the quote for the new house? I can tell you, it starts from 800K  4 bedroom/ 4 bathroom one car garage, 3600 finished space (counting the finished bashment) [/quote]

It is definitely cheaper. She owns the land.

OP knocking the whole thing down is a way cheaper way to go.

What you are asking of the contractor is way harder hence costs more.

Plus in Covid you are paying top dollar for materials and workers. [/quote]

Actually I gave you the quote WITHOUT the land  as I am in the same situation teardown or renovate. 
So, yeah I was thinking that rebuild is cheaper until I actually  got the quotes from a few builders...and it takes much longer to build a house 12-18 months  - so I am back to remodeling
