What costs more? A second story room adding up over an existing garage, or a regular room edition? I am debating whether to add a room complement above my garage...

I am debating whether to add a room complement above my garage or one next to the garage on the 1st story. There will be no plumbing, individual electrical work done. I live in the So Cal nouns.
Answers:    Depends entirely on how the existing structure was developed. If you hold to go contained by and rebuild the garage foundation and go back over roof trusses or rafters, it's unequivocally not going to be cheap. In some instances, it's cheaper to knock down the antediluvian garage and start over.
they should be awfully close in price. the cross-question would be which would you prefer. are you doing it your self or contracting it out. if you are contracting, just gain two estimated for either project
