[Closed] Building/Extension help, could someone give me a rough estimate?

Kojaklollipop · 2013-07-17T08:42:45Z

Wonderimg/hoping there are some experienced builders out there that could give me a rough guide cost for an extension, I realise it may not be easy without knowing exactly what's involved but I'll explain .... So, I'm having some building work done, a single story extension on the side of the property (bungalow), it's being done under permitted development and the building inspector says the work is good so no problems there. But, we are having a bit of trouble with the builder and rising costs, we think he may have underestimated the work, we just want to make sure that the final cost is not excessive and relates to the work done. So, it's a 3 x 12 metre extension, it's on the side and to the rear so one wall is already existing but it extends 3m to the rear, 1m foundations, brick and block walls with insulation, concrete floor with insulation and screed finish, area divided into 2 rooms, flat roof going up into existing roof, 1 medium and 1 small window and outside door. That's it, no plastering or electrics, just the builing work. So can anyone give a rough cost? Maybe if your an experienced buider you'll know by square meterage or something? We have been advised to get 3 quotes from other builders to get a figure but no one seems keen to do this. Any help appreciated.

I wonder if his mother knows what he's like or what he's doing!?

She's probably under your fancy new path.

If I'd have known what this was going to lead too they'd all be under my path 😆

I must say, his clothes are crumple free given what he's been through.

I think he had an iron in there.
