Building a sunroom

You may have seen my "built an outdoor theater!" thread in this forum. Since I live in Cleveland (lol, only Bengals flag up in the neighborhood), I'd like to try and make it more of an all season area to watch.

In order to do this, we need large glass. The largest picture window glass I've found is 8ft x 8ft. I don't know the price, specifically.

For 15x15'ish SOLARIUM (all glass, including roof) - I was quoted 79K from a company. No, lol.


For a 20x15ish Sunroom (4 season, HVAC) - I was quoted 50K+. That's also pretty damn high. They haven't broken the quote down yet, but they said the glass is expensive (this one has a solid roof, I said I'd work with them on the glass size if that was a problem).

They're not putting in new foundation, it's still built on footers. I'm wondering if anyone has done a sunroom before and/or thinks I should just get construction plans somehow, get permits, and contract it out as I go. 50K sounds very high but maybe average for an HVAC heat/cooled room?
