HI Emily Carpeting bedrooms is only dictated by your budget. The only variable is the price of the carpet, all other costs (installation, smoothedge, underlay) will be the same no matter what you choose. When you say remove wooden floors....do you know what is already installed? If you are only wanting to take the wood from the bedrooms but leave it in hallways etc, then the cost to remove wood planks (laminate?) may be around $20 per m2... A lot depends on how the timber was installed, so I think it's best to get in a professional and get a free quote. Good luck.

finyo, also be prepared that the answers from them may be much the same if you received here. If I called a local US homebuilder and asked how much it would cost to build a house, I'm quite sure they wouldn't just throw a number out on the table. I wouldn't expect them to. As many here have said repeatedly, there are a number of variables to be taken into account.

I'm glad you guys are growing.

That looks like a NZ house . and possibly even an ex-State House . They were solidly built ( money wasn't a problem ) . But it would need a builder and some investigation , because there will be studs and power and it may even be load bearing . Back in that era , most water and piping was pretty much straight out and down , but there may be piping for water or sinks or showers or similar . You could buy a $100 door at the demo yeard , or a $2500 masterpiece . Tiy might want a small deck and some stairs , you might want a small roof , you might want something more solid . Then you'll need a door jamb , some framing , then presomably paint and maybe wallpaper , Possibly lino or tiles or carpet . And can you match everything , including the paint tones etc , or will you have to redo a whole wall or even the whole room ? Then theres permits and fees and inspections . I'd suggest you won't get much change out of $10k if basic , maybe $25k if you want to go a bit luxe and/or strike problems . But then again , I'm not a builder -- give one a call .
