if you budgeted £1200psqm + fees you'd have enough

there's more

thats using standard construction, ie cavity walls/slate roof no big glazed openings.

fees approx 1200-1500 for architect/tech if you are managing the build yourself and maybe 5-800 for engineer if required, providing it is simple construction/design

then planning and building regs fees on top.

planning normally £145 (scotland)
building regs/warrant % of construction cost, so at 44k about £580 in edinburgh

More than you think and more than you will be quoted.
£35k should do it. Good time to get building work done at the mo - where abouts are you?

it depends what the extension is
if it includes a kitchen and a bathroom it will be nearer £45,000 - £50,000 (depending on the specification of course) including all fees and VAT

if it was say a dining room with a bedroom above i would estimate £35,000 - £40,000
assuming you are goung to get a bonafidi builder to do it all
if you were to "project manage" it yourself and use individual trades you could get it done much cheaper although it may take you much longer!

it depends on all sorts of other things like location, space (to build, deliveries etc) etc
