Additional cost for installing fiberglas insulation in an existing structure. It covers extra labor for moving stuff out of the way, more awkward access, etc. Does not include any demolition, or repairs/refinishing necessary after the installation.

This is an "add on" unit cost that can be included, in addition to any type of insulation installation.

We throw in an extra hour of unskilled labor for every 125 square feet of insulated area

None


hard COnstruction Cost, Typical

Source of Construction Pricing

This is pretty much an "educated guess", based on our experience with a variety of remodeling projects over the years. Conditions vary quite a bit, but on average this amount should cover the extra hassles required for a retro-fit insulation job.


Places Included

Architect Starter File, Construction Starter File, Developer Starter File


Comments

Add some extra time beyond this cost if there is difficult access, cramped working conditions, or large quantities of furnishings that need to be moved or covered
