What Affects the Price
- Permit complexity — SF DBI reviews take longer than suburban jurisdictions
- Existing conditions — what is found inside walls affects cost
- Subcontractor availability — Bay Area trades are in high demand
- Material lead times — custom cabinets, windows, and tile can delay projects
- Seismic requirements on older buildings
