Not an applicable concept to remodeling – its like asking how much does a car cost per pound?
New homes usually cost around $170 per square foot, whereas remodeling often runs $200 to $500 per square foot and even higher, depending on the project specifications. Unlike with a whole new house, remodeling projects costs vary greatly based on old work included, accommodations for continuing occupants, the product mix such as kitchens, baths and, finish levels. Much of the higher costs are related to the tie-in between the Old and New construction, and the blending of these into an integral home.
