Build costs at watertight stage

Featured Replies

Hi,

 

I know its not easy to say but it would be great to get at least some idea, I have a quote to the watertight stage of the build which is 65% of the total build costs and equates to £1,375 per sqft.

 

The build will be to a standard spec nothing expensive and no great challenges in the build,

House 

extension 

1  2 3 story 

Will watertight include doors and windows 

Overall m2 

Will make a difference to price 

Is the 1375 per sq ft Or m2

 

What are the ground conditions and expected foundations?

 

As mentioned above costs are usually in m2

Yes sorry its £1,375 per sq m.

 

That figure includes windows which are £12k, its a 100sqm 2 story detached house, ground conditions are good.

That’s high for a 100m2

I was similar for 283m2 plus two detached garages Block and beam on the house slate roof sash windows 

While I did the roof slating windows myself The slates where 

5 k windows 18 k 

Ground wasn’t good 

50k just to get the foundations in and muck away 

 

It would be worth getting several quotes Looks like there a high labour charge in there
