For extending just out, and adding a a lounge/games type room, and a bedroom with an ensuite we were quoted 98k. That wasn't including light fittings, floor coverings, bathroom fittings or paint. just basically the shell of the extension. Up may be a bit more seeing as there would be reenforcing etc to be done.
Reno sucks!

EEP!
This has freaked me out! Everyone said I was over-estimating when I said it would cost us over $100k to extend (we want to build forward on a sloped block, with garage underneath, two bedrooms and a bathroom)... but I'm now thinking that I was being modest and there would be some excavation involved also...
My parents extended 17 years ago - cost $30k for lounge/dining room, bedroom, walk in robe and ensuite.
Another thing to consider - would you want everything to match, or would that not matter? Extra costs could involve painting, flooring, curtains/blinds for the existing part of the house on top of new for the extension ifkwim
For sure you would be looking at $100k in the very least to go up, maybe double that depending on the finishes you choose. A big cost in 2nd storey extensions is the fall protection hire - at least $10k alone....
I'm really interested in this too. We are talking about turning half of our patio into a toy room and a patio roof (we will do the deck ourselves). The room would be 4m x 2m and the patio roof. How much would be looking at roughly?
