What's in your estimate
A budget that accounts for more than bricks
Small extensions, rooflights, structural openings and professional fees can change the overall project cost. We make those assumptions visible.
Construction and finishes
Foundations, structure, roof, insulation, typical glazing, electrics and basic internal finishes.
Common extras
Optional allowance for bifold upgrades, rooflights, structural steel, new kitchens and drainage diversions.
Hidden budget items
Indicative professional and approval fees, standard construction VAT and an allowance for surprises.
Cost model informed by the Federation of Master Builders' published extension-cost guide. Regional factors and extra allowances are our transparent planning assumptions, not verified contractor quotes.
