We can't afford it immediately but I want to have a ballpark for how much money I should get saved up before we can start talking about it.
Gotta define your definition of "small"... Assuming it's still ~700sqft?

Cheap: $10k materials (maybe my numbers are off based on today's lumber, consider steel studs?)
Mid range finishings: $15-20k materials
DIY Tools: $5k (combination of buying things you need, renting things you don't)
Labour from someone else: $20-30k
