1 Adding a basement to an existing house can cost $30,000-$70,000 or more, depending on the size of the existing crawlspace or half-basement or if the house is on a slab foundation, and how much of the work is do-it-yourself and how much is done by contractors.
The most cost effective way to add space to a home is to finish the basement. Finished basements can cost anywhere from $10 to $30 per square foot depending on the finishes, mechanicals required, and whether you take on the role of the owner-builder/general contractor.
