costs of a 2 storey extension

eslick

Hi All

Did a search but couldnt find this, thinking about having an extension built and saw the costs of average about 1000sq m. Is this the same for a one and two storey or is there another average to use for two storeys. Thinking the foundations are one of the most expensive things the second floor may be cheaper but does it not work that way.

Also any idea of the average sq mtr costs that should be used for the Newcastle area.

Thanks everyone.

I too would like to know this price for Cheshire/Manchester area.

We have been quoted from several builders that it costs on average £1,000 per square meter.

We are looking at spending 25k max for a single story 15 square mtr extension, that includes new kitchen, windows etc

Well if it's £1,000 per sq m does that mean my loft conversion at approx 18m x 8m is going to cost me £144,000 :eek:

£1,000 per sq meter inc foundations and bricks cement etc, i dont think you need those in a loft conversion.

so is it cheaper if you want a two storey extension or do you use the £1,000 sq mtr rule and it all balances out.

You could ring a friendly architect or chartered building surveyor - they may give you an idea of costs and design etc.

Scaffolding to upper floor needs pricing in. Loft conversions are different and cheaper - I guess

Sorry forgot to mention, present loft is 8m x 8m but extending over rest of bungalow to create dormer style property inc complete new roof.

Lofts don't have concrete but they do have structural steels and joists and fire regs.
