Your bathroom remodel budget will depend on the scope of the project and how long it will take. Construction costs vary region to region, but a gut renovation could easily run into the thousands, and take 2 or more months to finish.
Your bathroom remodel budget should include building permit costs, Architect or designer fees, general contractor fees,and miscellaneous costs. In general, you should add 10% to your budget in the likely event that there will be changes to the scope of the job.
