Hi,
Looking for some advice, we have been tendering for our extension and have received 3 quotes. The first two were much higher than expected but came with a cost breakdown for each area i.e. windows, carpentry, steel works etc
The third quote who is our preferred builder and the most professional so far has just arrived. The only difference in the quotes is that he has not provided a breakdown of costs, he has listed the works and given a contract but there is only a total cost and no individual breakdown. Is this ok?
My worry would be that we get further into the project and something changes with the windows for example and we have no reference point to base any increase costs on. We have never extended before so it would be good to know what we should ask for.
We just want a comparison. For example one quote has allowed £7000 to fit the sanitary ware to the en-suite which seemed really high so in that instance we could do that separately.
Thanks for any advice in advance.
