Record finished area, room use, plumbing fixtures, kitchen work, openings, storage, accessibility, finish level, and how the new space connects to existing circulation.
Price the physical tie-in
Require foundation, drainage, structure, roof, exterior wall, flashing, insulation, air sealing, windows, doors, and interior transition work to be described—not buried in one unit price.
Test utility assumptions
Ask who verifies electrical, plumbing, sewer or septic, HVAC, gas, and utility capacity; then identify upgrades, allowances, exclusions, and approval responsibility.
Build the complete budget
Add design, engineering, surveys, permits, financing, temporary living, owner purchases, restoration, contingency, and change-management rules outside the contractor subtotal when necessary.

What this Shelby Township range does—and does not—mean
The 1.03 adjustment is a broad planning assumption used consistently across HomeScope examples. It is not a measured price index or claim about the Shelby Township market. Room type, foundation, structural tie-ins, utility capacity, site access, design, finishes, contractor availability, and written local proposals determine actual cost.
