I would be grateful for any rough prices....
I am looking to build a 4m extention to a semi bungalow, right accross the back of the bungalow, part pitch tiled roof over half the extension with vaulted ceiling over kitchen diner part. Other half which is ajoining neighbours side, will be bedroom will have flat roof with glass skylights.
The site is on a fairly hefty slope, so at the point the extension ends, the floor (if kept level with the existing bungalow) will be about 1m above ground level. I know a rough cost for an extention is about 1k per SqM, so looking at about £25k - £30k for the above.
However, thinking outside the box, it may be possible to dig out and create a basement room (same size 7m x 4m) under the extension and turn into a very small bedsit for son and his girlfriend.
Can anyone give me a very rough idea of what impact this would have on the cost, as there would obviously have to be tanking etc. There is full access for a dumper and a full size JCB if this would recduce the cost of digging out!
Only looking at a rough idea of the additional cost this may add to the original £25-30K.
Many thanks
Martin
