Formula
Floor Area = Length × Width
Wall Area = Perimeter × Height (8 ft)
Material Cost = (Fixtures + Flooring + Walls + Utilities) × Remodel Multiplier
Total Cost = Material Cost + Labor + Permits
Example: 8 ft × 6 ft bathroom, mid-range remodel, all fixtures, tile flooring and walls
Step 1: Floor area = 8 × 6 = 48 sq ft
Step 2: Perimeter = 2 × (8 + 6) = 28 ft
Step 3: Wall area = 28 × 8 = 224 sq ft
Step 4: Fixtures (mid-range × 1.5) = ($450 + $375 + $1,800 + $0) × 1.5 = $3,938
Step 5: Flooring = 48 × $8 × 1.5 = $576
Step 6: Walls = 224 × $12 × 1.5 = $4,032
Step 7: Utilities = (48 × $17 + $450) × 1.5 = $2,049
Step 8: Fixtures = $1,000 × 1.5 = $1,500
Step 9: Material total = $3,938 + $576 + $4,032 + $2,049 + $1,500 = $12,095
Step 10: Labor = 48 × $60 × 1.5 = $4,320
Step 11: Permits = $1,000 × 1.5 = $1,500
Step 12: Total = $12,095 + $4,320 + $1,500 = $17,915
Step 13: Cost per sq ft = $17,915 / 48 = $373/sq ft
