How to extend a single story from a shared pitched roof
Comments (6)There is a house locally that has submitted plans to do something similar to what you have planned. They both had double storey extension with shared ridge. They plan on having a straight drop from the existing ridge and their new extension to have a new ridge in the middle, separate from the neighbours. Not sure that I can share a copy of the elevation drawings on here (that have been approved) with out breaching architects copyright....See Morehelp! double storey rear vs single storey rear+loft conversion?

Comments (11)Hello Summerfield, Hope you are well and the process of choosing a builder and limiting the works to your budget is not being a pain for you. In my experience, as Maths-wife and i-architect have said, the total cost of the construction depends on the quality you look for and the market situation or even availability of builders. Sometimes it is more expensive to build because they are busier and they ask more for the same work, or just because they don't have experience doing what you are asking them to do. Also, usually good builders are more expensive, because they know they will have work even if they ask for more money. Independently of those circumstances, a good way to calculate the overall cost of the construction for a standard work would be the following: For an extension we estimate around £1800-£2000/sqm. If you are extending/refurbishing around 40sqm, then it would be around £80k just for the foundation, structure, walls, (have in mind that you have a very long metal beam in the design, and it is more expensive to install too). On top of that you have to add the cost of the kitchen (it could be around £15000 including appliances and the kitchen island), the utility and bathroom (£5k each), and the bifolding door (usually I estimate £1000 per panel as average, including supply and installation). Finally, I add around £800-£1000 per skylight (supply and installation too). Adding all of it you could have an idea of the maximum they should ask you for it. Obviously this is including their profit, labour, materials, etc and you can find something cheaper depending, as described above, on the market and each particular construction company. Hope it helped. Wish you all the best!...See MoreWhat material to do rear single story extension for this property
Comments (4)That looks like a lovely spacious house, big windows etc! I know what you mean about pebble dash but it looks like it's in good condition and I agree that it would look a bit odd if you paint it, unless any other houses in the street have already done it. Extensions are usually built in a modern style which complements rather than matches the original house. In terms of the materials used, there may be a style that's developed locally for modern buildings, so it's a good idea to have a look around, even having a look at your council planning website as that will give you a good feel for what is being passed by the planners. Eg we're having an extension built at the moment on our 1930s house which will be a mix of wood cladding and cotswold stone - we're in the cotswolds so this works with the local vernacular and other modern buildings around here....See Moreminipie
