It's really hard to guess labor until you have an idea of what type of work is to be done.
How much Tile, Electrical, Drywall, Framing......?

Good questions.
I can do flooring, and we'll leave existing drywall and framing - just maybe caulk wall seams. Most of the labor will be HVAC: exhaust fan installation, additional ducting as needed, damper for fresh air intake. The only electrical will be wall wiring for fan controls, which is pretty simple. Thanks for the help.

I would assume some of the drywall would have to be ripped out to install the duct work, vents, fan, etc...

I kept all of my receipts from doing mine, but I did all the labor myself with the help of some friends.

11x11.... Hmmmmmmm... If you are just having someone do the exhaust work with the materials and the drywall replaced where they will have to destroy it.... I'm guessing under $2k this can be done. If this room in located below the attic space then no drywall should have to be replaced.
