I think the current estimate is to budget for about £2k per sq m for the job.
Prob more than that now. Did a wrap around extension on a semi 14 years ago, cost about £60k, it would be double that now as building stuff and trades have gone through the roof….the builder is key, def don’t go with cheapest or one who isn’t that busy…..get a recommendation if possible or go see him on his current job and talk to the owners there.
