I’m quoting on a 750 sq/ft addition. The problem is that the client doesn’t have alot of money and wants me to leave the exterior skinned but not sided and the interior insulated and vapour barriered without drywall. They also want to contract the plumbing and electrical themselves and to live with just a subfloor for a while. The addition will sit on full height foundation walls. If new construction comes in at around 125 to 150 per sq/ft depending on finishing, how do i figure out a quote for a basically uninished job?

There is no such thing as sq ft price. Quote the work by the stick if you are willing to put your name on it.

Additions aren't new construction, so that's a different ballgame. Peruse the Business folder to help figure out your costs. You'll find a lot of helpful people and a lot of people asking your same question. This type of quote shouldn't be that difficult because you aren't really doing all that much to it.
Good luck.
