When compared to other renovation and alteration filings in Bexar County, this project presents a distinct financial profile. The median estimated cost for similar projects is $250,000, placing this $110,000 investment in the bottom quarter of county filings. However, the cost per square foot of $244 is significantly above the county median of $85. The scheduled build window of 76 days is shorter than the county median of 103 days, reflecting the limited scope of adding two small rooms to an existing suite.
