Double Storey Extension

Superturk84

Hi Everyone,

We just be quoted £135k for a double storey extension 9 x 6 this price includes:

22 windows and 4 doors
Re rendering the whole exterior of the house
Re plastering all the house
New roofing for the whole house
Rewire
15 internal doors,skirting and architrave etc

Just wanted to know your thoughts on the price ? We're in Kent.

Thanks

To get any realistic idea post specifics? Finishes, construction, materials etc Others wise you'll either be ignored or only ill informed would give you prices To be honest 15 doors 22 windows in 9x 6 extension doesn’t make sense ?

Maybe the windows and doors are for the existing house and extension

Also assume the extension is metric.

Maybe there sticking them all in the garden and making a sculptor of them, ? In construction never assume that’s when things go wrong or you end up with a finish you didn’t want ? Also why you need specifics etc to be able to come up with anything other than complete guess ?

IMO this needs a Bill of Quantities prepared by a QS with a detailed specification.At least contractors could price on a level playing field and enable meaningful comparisons.
Without this I can hear Captain Cockup revving his engine.
The spec could include equal or approved to allow the client to get value for £ and the serious contractor to get an edge....Yes,I'm a QS and no I don't want the work.

Does it include interior finishing eg new kitchen installed etc?

To me it sounds ball park good value. I did 2 storey 8m x 4m with a kitchen plus a small single storey next to it and paid in region of 100k in Surrey in 2008. Plastering whole house is expensive, that alone on my extension was about 6k I believe. Plus many windows and doors, I think your £135k sounds lean.
