Dear all, 
So I would like an estimate cost for a mordern 6m extension from living room/kitchen into the back garden.
I have estimated around 40K mark- is that too much/too less/just right.

Thank you
Ren

    6 metres by what? 

    And what what do you mean by modern?

    Very much depends on the design and size. 

    6m x 24m will be more expensive than 6m x 5m (assuming everything else is equal).

    Have you got a design or plans drawn up?

  • Hi looking some advice on dormer extension - it is a three bed semi-detached bungalow which already has a full sized dormer at rear and a small dormer at the front. The attached neighboring bungalow has a larger dormer than ours and i am looking to extend it to at least the same size as their, potentially bigger if i can get planning permission. I obviously am going to need to get an architect around to draw up and do calculations etc but not sure how much this sort of thing i would be looking to pay. I have been quoted around about £800 for a package (not sure if that includes any construction calculations), but given then is just a front extension to an existing dormer, i'm not sure if that is high or about right in today's market.
    Any guidance on around the price mark i should be expecting?
    If anyone knows any "Typical" guidance on how big councils typically allow on sizes of dormers that would be great too. I have heard in the past that councils can allow dormer size's up to 75% population of the visible roof at the front, although i do know it depends on a council by council basis. Certainly everyone in my street is having new dormers added, so they must be approving front dormers to be built
    Thanks in advance,
