do it yourself ( if it is just a bedroom with no bath then avoid the following to save money - windows , swinging doors , trim molding and overhead lighting ( in other words one window (required for emergency egress ) use sliding closet doors and minimal trim - also carpet over the sub floor not wood or laminate )
for heating if electric use an independent heater and air conditioner unit ( unless your current system has excess capacity and the duct work is easily accessible ) you can also save by using a prefinished wall panel if you can't tape and bed sheet-rock yourself
but you said nothing about your budget and type of house which makes this very hard to answer you may have a $200,000 home or a $70,000 home and the cost would be totally different as far as inexpensive

If you are adding an extension on to your home to add a master bedroom, I would not want to cut costs. That is one thing you want done correctly with out cutting corners. The best thing to do is to shop around and get different pricings.
If you need to cut costs, do that on the decorating until in the future you can afford to decorate/furnish it nicely.

Very not often will a contractor smash-out the cost of the fabric from the exertions. I have got here upon that if the resources fee X quantity...the contractor will double the fabric quantity for exertions. this isn't inevitably a "rule" yet I have got here upon that maximum situations. when you're concerned about fee quantities...you could continuously take the estimate and visit a house progression save and price issues your self. That way you will discover if he's charging way more advantageous than save expenditures. Contractors will fee more advantageous on the grounds that they're those taking time to bypass get the stuff and delivery it to a job website....yet save in ideas, also, those contractors frequently carry a contractor account with this employer and have become decrease expenditures than retail. in case you could believe your human being references, then it ought to somewhat be secure to bypass including your gut feeling and comprehend you're probably not getting ripped off. in truth, tell the contractor you have become different estimates, so as that they comprehend they're in competition. This frequently will save them on the straight away and narrow in the journey that they opt for to inflate expenditures slightly.

A local builder may give you a ballpark on construction, and a designer wil refine it to its best quality accessories or parts to suit you. A decorator can then do colors and furnishings.
