1 Adding a basement to an existing house can cost $30,000-$70,000 or more, depending on the size of the existing crawlspace or half-basement or if the house is on a slab foundation, and how much of the work is do-it-yourself and how much is done by contractors. In warmer climates where the foundation does not have to be as deep (typically 18-20 for a crawlspace or a few inches for a slab foundation), including a basement adds more to the total cost of the house because it requires a lot more additional excavation, far beyond what would be done without a basement.
1 Do-it-yourself costs to convert an existing garage or basement into a bedroom run anywhere from $200-$5,000. 2  Hiring a contractor for the conversion project can be $7,500-$50,000 or more depending on the size and condition of the existing space; whether the project includes a bathroom; and local labor rates. If you're adding weight to your foundation, you may need a report from a structural engineer at a cost of $300-$800 or more, to see if your existing foundation needs to be reinforced or repaired. 2  You'll probably need a set of plans for your bedroom addition. 3  Your builder might be able to supply them.
