Agree that this sounds too low. However, we did a basement down to studs for less than 100K. OP is not doing a full dig out, they are going a few inches, which our builder said would cost 20-30k. Assuming the basement itself should cost around 150k, an additional 100k for the remaining two floors is what makes me suspicious.

How long ago did you do that, though? Prices are up about 30% since 2019, partially due to COVID related reasons (labor up, materials up) and partially due to some big new fees and requirements from DOB formerly DCRA. such as sprinklers if the unit is over a certain square footage, or the newer fireproofing inspections.

Post-Covid. We got three or four bids, all of which which were 70-90k.
