A Palms addition is priced in writing, trade by trade, so a family can see what each part of the new room costs before settling on its size. Excavation, concrete, framing, roof, electrical, plumbing, drywall and paint each get their own line. What moves the total most is what the existing house reveals: the capacity of the electrical panel, the route of the sewer line, and how the new floor meets the old.

What changes the number

A second story asks a lot of the structure below, since the existing walls and footings may need strengthening to carry it, and that shows up in the framing and foundation lines. A panel too small for the added circuits means a service upgrade, which brings the utility company into the schedule. Matching an existing stucco texture or a discontinued window style adds labor. Palms is within the City of Los Angeles, so permit fees from LADBS and any engineering are shown separately, and the quote can be compared line against line with other bids.

Allowances and changes

Where finishes are not chosen yet, the quote carries an allowance for items like flooring, tile and light fixtures, and the final choice raises or lowers that line. If opening a wall turns up damaged framing or old wiring, the repair is priced as a written change before the work goes on. A family comparing a bedroom over the garage with a wing off the kitchen can ask for both priced in the same format. The quote layout is the same for jobs in Culver City and Mar Vista, which keeps comparisons simple.
