I know he puts a stake where a corner of the building will be, then he runs a chalk line where the front of the building will be and puts a stake on that line a specified distance. Then he runs another line a specified distance from the first stake where the side of the building will be. He temporarily puts a stake at that point. Then he runs a third line from the second stake and extends it to toward the stake marking the side of the building and adjusts that stake without changing the distance of that stake from the first stake until it meets the last line and that creates a right angle for the corner of the building. But I don't the dimensions he uses for the front and the side of the building..

this is the 3,4,5 method of making a square. From the first stake measure 3 feet on front line. Measure 4 feet on the side line.. measure from the 3 foot mark to the 4 foot mark and adjust the distance till it is 5 feet. this will give you a right angle. you may use multiples of numbers for larger square. 6,8,10 or 9,12,15 etc.

Your estimates sound a bit high. I worked for a home improvement contractor in New Jersey , which can be quite expensive and based on his estimates, he ran around $7,500 for an average remodel. This also included tile in the bath tub and new tile floor. Always ask for references and do a look up on contractors thru the Better Business Bureau. Good Luck.

He uses the rule that (side#1)^2 + (side#2)^2 = (diagonal)^2.
For example, 50^2 + 30^2 = 58.3095^2
It is common to use the symbol "^2" to mean "squared".
