To build a 16 x 16 x 8 room, you need to calculate the lumber for the walls and the ceiling. The walls consist of four sides, each 16 feet long and 8 feet high, totaling 512 square feet of wall area. For the ceiling, you need an additional 256 square feet of lumber. Depending on the framing style and the number of windows and doors, you may require additional lumber for studs, plates, and other structural elements.
You need more information to answer this question. A few of the items needed would be the height of the room as well as specifications on the framing (ie. 16" center verses 24" center). Does this addition need a roof? If so what type of roof do you want? Do you considers the decking on the roof part of the lumber? Are there windows? Those will need to be framed out. How many doorways. Etc... As you can see there are so many variables it would be impossible to say based on your question. The ceiling will be 8 foot, The centers will be 16" it does need a roof dont include the decking no windows
