is this doable?
Got plans and approval from council to build a single storey extension on to the the kitchen out onto he garden which will be turned into a living room and the living room a kitchen.
Is 3.8 meters out by 5.6 meters across with rear access, pitched roof with sky lights and French doors.
Now been getting a few quotes and they are all coming in around 23-25k just for a water tight shell. No alterations to electrics, plumbing or plastering etc.
I'm a plumber/gas fitter by trade and have picked up a few things over the years.
Has anyone managed to project manage a build themselves? We got a budget of around 16k.
Reckon I could dig the foundations by hand myself looking at the plans need to be 1200 deep by 600 wide.
Then maybe source my own bricklayers etc.
Just putting a few feelers out really to see if this is acheaviable on the budget I have as no idea on material costings etc.
Any advice?
