Renovation is priced by the work inside the area, not the area itself: a compact unit with two full bathroom rebuilds and heavy carpentry can cost more per square foot than a larger unit with a light scope.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\" data-sourcepos=\"73:1-73:74;5170-5243\">Two patterns are worth understanding before you compare these to a quote.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\" data-sourcepos=\"75:1-75:278;5245-5522\">The fixed costs don&#8217;t shrink with the unit. Kitchen, bathrooms and wet works cost roughly what they cost regardless of floor area, so the per-square-foot figure rises as the unit gets smaller even though the total falls. A studio is not a quarter of the price of a four-bedder.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\" data-sourcepos=\"77:1-77:174;5524-5697\">And carpentry scales with specification, not with size.
