Build cost estimation from planning drawings

[PSC88]

Hi I’m in the process of applying for a self build mortgage and need to get some costings which will be accepted by the bank.

 

i have my full planning permission and my architect is working on building regs drawings.

 

it will be a few weeks before the building regs drawings are ready.

 

will I be able to get accurate costings from just the full planning drawings or will I need to wait for the building regs?

 

any suggestions to a QS/online estimator that will be acceptable by the bank?

..plenty of people will take your money to do online estimates.

 

..you want to make sure you can borrow enough to complete your build to the spec/finish you want.  So a lot comes down to the inputs you provide and making sure you include fees, provisions and contingencies.
