Rectangular Conservatory made of brick- help!

vn108

Hello,

My parents are looking to replace their currently conservatory, which is completely made of wood with a brick version.
The building is 2.5m width, 5.5m length & 3m tall of rectangular shape. The roof will be the typical felt nearly flat sort.
To have this as it is now in terms of plumbing, electricals, cupboards and worktop/sink which will not be replaced, they have been given an estimate of £12k.


Now I'm totally lost with respect to what a fair price for this would be and would appreciate any advise that can be given.
They have also been told that they do not required planning permission, but I am yet to get this confirmed.

Thanks in advance for any help!:beer:

If they are replacing a wood structure with a brick one it is likely that the new structure will need much more substantial foundations. If this is the case, I would have thought that the price quoted was not unreasonable. Twenty years ago I knew someone who was quoted 12k for a double garage which was nearly twice the size of the project you are quoting. If the foundations do not need altering then possibly the price might be a little on the high side. You do not get much for 12k nowadays.

Sounds fair enough to me. Although if re building I would not have flat roof.

Thanks for your input.

It does include new foundations of 1m depth. I did question the roof, but was told that if they wanted tiles it would need to be a more angled roof and it was not regulation...

If it was me I would be looking to have a pitched roof with tiles, if I could possibly afford it. I hate flat roofs, even though I have one on my workshop.
