Bathroom Addition for 30% to 40% Less


Bathroom addition is one of the best type of improvement that you can do to your home. Most people do not have enough bathrooms in their home and would love to have additional one. Also, any additional bathroom will automatically add to the value of the house. It will give you the best return on investment and will help one day is the selling of the house. However, the key element to achieve the best return on investment is to have the right design in order to lower the construction cost. One of the most costly aspect of a new bathroom addition is the connection of the new waist (drain) line to the existing house main waist pipe. It might be necessary to electronically locate the house waist pipe under the concrete floor. In short, you should hire an experience, license contractor to do the job and not a handyman in your neighborhood. Just remember that the over all cost of the bathroom addition can escalate because of purchasing expensive fixtures. As you probably know you can buy a sink faucet at Home Depot for less than $50 but also you can spend as much as $1,500 for a faucet. Just remember that you can control your construction cost by choosing fixtures and accessories wisely.

Thanks for the info Avi!

Now I'm really curious, in terms of an investment, how much on avg, would it cost to add an Extra Bathroom, and how much value would that add?

I've heard from Realtors that this is the best return on money you put into the house, compared to just upgrading the Kitchen and or Bathrooms.

Also, what do you mean by Electronically adding a Drain?

Keep up the great info!
