Self Manage Single Storey large rear extension

[RRK]

Hi All,

 

Its been exciting to read so much detailed stuff on this website.

 

I am planning on a large rear single storey extension which I intend to self manage with separate contractors such as ground works, brick layers, roofers, plumbers, electricians, plasters. I intend to let the contractors buy the material and only manage the interfaces

 

Is their any guide or reference where I can learn on key interfaces so that I can know which trade required when.

 

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

If you use individual contractors 

You will be better purchasing the materials yourself As most individuals won’t want to supply the materials But will be happy to make a list out for you

Thanks for your response. I will consider this when getting quotations for sub contractors

where do you buy your materials from. is it mainly online or from in-store?

I am also looking for an extension, but not decided whether to go for self managed- labour only or material included.

I wouldnt buy the mats, Id sub out packages of work to be completed. This way the subbies cant blame you for not finishing what xyz wasnt on site etc

 

Still price the mats so you have a rough idea of cost though.
