What affects the price
The size of the space, the materials and finishes you choose, and how much of the layout changes make the biggest difference. Moving walls, plumbing or gas lines, structural work, engineering and permits, and the condition of what is there today all add to the scope. Utility work, like running gas and electrical lines to an outdoor kitchen, depends on how far the new work is from the existing connections.
