Kitchen ext quote??

devmcc

Hi all – just had a builder round for a quote on my kitchen extension…
Going out to the side of the property – single storey 5mtrs*1.5mtrs
Existing window changed to French doors.
2 velux windows to new roof
Builder is finishing at build only – getting my own joiner to put in the kitchen…

Said it would take him around 12weeks to complete...

Any ideas what would sound reasonable??
Thanks all....

A builder is on his way to ours now. We want a 8/10ft by 15ft extension with new roof and poss velux windows we might have a budget of 20k. Fingers crossed.

We had 6Mx4M extension done, finished externally, bare inside for £9000 in labour. Sourced all the materials ourselves, haggled like crazy. Plumbed, wired ourselves, £400 for a plasterer.

We spent £18000 (in total) but that included solar panels, under floor heating, velux window with roller shutter, a bathroom, floor tiles and the furniture,. Much cheaper than the £24,000 we were quoted for a conservatory of the same size. Planning permission and buildings regulations applications came to almost £2000!

Builder took 7 weeks. We took another 3 months of evenings and weekends.

The builder that came yesterday said it would take 7 weeks. he has lots of ideas and will email us some drawings and written quotes. I hope we can use him as we got a good vibe from him and he was very articulate for a builder. We were impressed.

Fingers crossed
