If you do the contracting yourself and depending where you are you could save a lot of money. I just completed a 2nd floor addition that I did all the labor. Included bath, tilework, large shower and gas fireplace. Approximate cost was $ 25,000.00, approx. sq ft= 675 . Generally in the south it's cheaper. Say for example Texas where you would spend on average $60-$80 per square foot.

The answer is dependent on many factors. It's cheaper to add a ground level room than to a second story if you even can add to the second story. Costs vary depending on where you live and the materials you need to match the house and what type of materials you will use in the addition. Generally speaking you can't have it professionally done from start to finish for under about $100-$200 per square foot. You could save a lot of money doing it yourself.

I would contact several contractors in your area that can provide references and they should be to give you a bid for the project and you can probably find one that will work with you. Perhaps you could have a general contractor do the framing, roofing electrical and Plumbing and finish most of the rest yourself. That would probably be the best way to have it done well and save yourself some money

Answer

First, make sure your plans suit the house and will be a worthwhile improvement to the floor plan. The addition should not look like an addition: the flooring, interior and exterior walls should closely match the rest of the house. If you cannot afford to do that, then save your money. Adding a bathroom to the suite will cost more money, but may still be cost effective in adding to the value of the house. As far as doing the work yourself, if it is not a primary skill, you may end up getting in over your head. Better to pay a contractor and carve total costs in stone than get caught with an unfinished project. At $100 per square foot, a 13 x 14 room would cost approximately $20,000.
