Is this quote fair?

Converting front half of garage into bedroom back of garage left as is. Garage door replaced with window. It's a single garage been quoted between 12000 and 15000. Other builders have quoted 18000 not sure which is more accurate!

    What do you plan on doing with the remainder of the garage ?
    It would make sense to convert the whole space and put in a stud wall to create two rooms (subject to planning) - The difference in cost is going to be minimal.
    Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –
