Per-square-foot pricing barely changes with size — what changes is leverage. At 1,500 sq ft you can negotiate the labor rate and buy material at bulk break-points, which is worth a few percent. The bigger savings decision remains tier choice, worth $1,500 or more per $1/sf of difference.

Yes — most suppliers break pricing at 500 and 1,000 sq ft, and installers will sharpen day rates for multi-room continuous work.
