How much does it cost to elevate a house and add a basement foundation?

I know this is a difficult question to answer, but I would love to have a ballpark figure.

This house is 23' x 32' (768 sq ft), located in southern New Hampshire. The house is on cinderblocks, which are on concrete pilings.

It is about 50 feet from a lake, at least 10 feet above water line. Neighboring houses have basements.

Any rough guesses would be appreciated!

At a guess it would nearly be cheaper, or atleast not much dearer to knock down your house, dig it out and start again, you get a basement and a new house in one go.

Too much. You would be better off buying another house in a similar setting already with a basement.
If you have more money that sense you can do anything.
I would guess (educated guess) you are looking at $20,000 - $30,000 conservatively.

In addition to raising the house, building a foundation, pouring a basement floor, plumbing and electrical becomes involved.

You might be over valuing the house.

I would only guess a bunch.

New Hampshire should be pretty costly I am going to guesstimate there is alot involved 45K plus and that is going low.. If you want a basement sell and move a lot cheaper..

Contact a house mover and get a price. There are just too many variables involved here.

you could be looking at 20,000 or more
