How We Price This
These ranges are computed from Burch Contracting's own pricing formula: a base direct cost per square foot — built from current Upstate SC market data, BLS labor statistics combined with local supplier and subcontractor pricing — adjusted for material, complexity, and site conditions, plus a fixed 20% overhead & profit (see services.html for the full comparison). Base rates are reviewed as material and labor costs shift; this page was last updated by C. Scott Burch.
Is this Home Addition cost estimate accurate?
This is a planning estimate based on typical Upstate SC home addition costs, size, and the tier you select — actual pricing depends on your site conditions and finish selections. Every Burch Contracting quote includes a transparent 20% overhead and profit, the same formula used sitewide, with no hidden markup.
What would push my home addition project to the high end of this range?
Site access, structural complexity, premium materials, and custom features push a project toward the high end of the range shown above; a straightforward scope in standard materials lands toward the low end. Scott confirms exactly where your project falls during a free consultation.
How long does a room addition take to build?
Most room additions take 8 to 16 weeks. A single-story bedroom addition is at the shorter end, while a master suite with a full bath or a two-story addition requiring structural engineering takes longer. We give you a project-specific schedule before work begins.
Can you match a new addition to my existing home?
Yes. Matching the roofline, siding, trim, and interior finishes so the addition blends seamlessly with your existing home is a core part of how we work. With 35+ years building in the Upstate, we source materials to match older homes as closely as possible.
What types of additions do you build?
We build bedroom additions, master suites with bathrooms and walk-in closets, sunrooms, in-law suites, and two-story additions. Many of our addition clients are creating space for multi-generational living or building out a forever home rather than moving.
