    Hello everyone,

    I am a newbie to buying a house let alone renovating a house.  How much does it cost to add:

    1.  A bedroom to a brick house with the insides as plaster? 

    2.  A toilet? I read in a magazine this costed almost $30,000 not sure if this is the truth!?

    Thanks for your input :D

    Allow around $1,500 – $2,000/m2 for additions. A bedroom might be say 4m x 3m = 12m2 = say $24,000.
    A toilet will cost far less than $30,000!

    Adding a bedroom will be at least $10k, however it should in most cases increase the value of the house by a lot more than that. Adding a bathroom depends on a number of factors. Is there any existing plumbing that can be used? I have previously converted an exising laundry into a bathroom, and it cost me about $10k incl. tiling, toilet, bath, tapware. Obviously it was all basic, nothing fancy. What will kill you is if you have to get all new plumbing installed. If that's the case, then I would guess you'd be looking at $20k at a minimum.
