Hello Peter - the rough build cost for the Sandpath House was approximately £1750/sqm all in. However, it was a self-build where the clients managed a lot of the subcontractors themselves and kept a very close eye on costs. It was built about 3 years ago so costs will have increased since then.

I would recon the cost is 1500 per/square if you finish with average quality of finishes, and £1750 for top quality finishes , material also is what I consider to be at top quality. I work with experience Architecture and he has done a project in Central London , a restaurant extension and it looks good. He is post graduate , if you have more pictures of the plan send me to speak to him, I also work with supplier , they supply designer quality furniture from different part of the world , it all can be a package for you, much easier to handle, if you need help get in touch with me please. thesoletrader@mail.com , the Architecture do the design and layout for you, the supplier arrange the material and build the extension as he has more work experience and internal works carry out by us, and we give you a package price. hope it help you.

Hi, New to Houzz so forgive me if i'm doing this wrong...Thanks in advance. We bought our new home for what it 'can be' not what it is now and are currently having plans drawn up for extensions and replacing the old conservatory. Although we're paying architects for their service, it's always great to get second and third opinions, especially when spending so much money. We are looking for an estimate of the build costs (up to plastered walls, floors and electrics including UFH in extension) and suggestions on where we can save money doing some of it ourselves with basic DIY skills. We are not including bathroom a kitchen supply/fit at this stage as we have 'mates rates' so are budgeting separately. Our design plan depend on budget so feeling a bit 'chicken or egg' at this stage. Also debating between a pitched roof with skylights over the kitchen or a lantern? Which would you have / why? Which is more cost effective to give the feel of added height? A final request... we originally considered a loft conversion (the loft is partially converted currently with bed & bath but no dormer so limited full height space by previous owners but does not meet building regulations) instead of a 2 storey extension as was suggested by architects it was more cost effective. However I am now wondering about the feasibility of having the 2 storey extension as detailed below and possibly a loft conversion into a self contained flat with external entrance later down the line as a rental income. This could be an absurd idea or could be genius - you tell me? Current house: Proposed (using free app so not 100% accurate/detailed): ground floor: 1st floor Existing loft space:

Do all subcontractors pass through main contractor on cost plus build?

It really depends on who you get. We have used companies before who insist on everything going through them - especially if they will manage managing or project managing them on site. This markup is then used to cover the time they are project managing them. Usually though, as stated above, you can just say you want to be invoiced directly by the contractors which then means you will be responsible for them, or you will pay a fee to your main contractor to cover their time for this. Good luck x
