The second quote lists the size of the extension if u look closely or did u miss that.

A 13ft 2 storey side extension was max allowed and it cost 50k. Most std extensions 3m would be around 30-40k. Please don't misquote my words I don't change numbers for the fun of it.

I bet you can my relative had a 2 storey 13ft extension for 50k so I speak from experience mate.

This is me just messing about I don't think he is going to make £160 for 2 weeks.

You would say that as you think it's a mission impossible. As for trolling .. what do I get out of it .. I post pics of my personal project for advice.. how would Trollin help me .. in fact you guys would just ignore me and not offer help advice. Who likes to put up personal pics unless they...

As someone has already posted before piers are not really necessary but do provide strength. There is already a 2 piers on the left so middle is missing. I'm defending my builder since he is really working his arse off and trying to prove himself for little profit. I'm not sure if he actually...

Well he has one bloke to pay as well. He has saved on one skip for soil so that will go towards his wages (£160 ) not bad. He feeds his family so must be making something out of it... otherwise its an experience for him

Yeh it's was an addon cos you know I get mail in my garage too.

It will be face pointed once he has completed the job on the outside. I will get him to smooth out joints and fill up any gaps.

Noseall it's not finished yet mate.. not a complete garage. Roof is coming Monday with timber and metal sheets. Render will be outside only.

How's that I paid £86 for 3 tons hardcore instead of £115. So my overall cost is 2586 plus £25 door and £30 window. Around £2641 not far from £2500 me thinks The concrete hasn't be laid yet and is included in price.

I really don't know how they came up with 30k for a shed?? If he is doing a kitchen bathroom and other work as welll then this is an all in one quote but still excessive. Like I said you can get a cowboy expensive builder as well as a cheap one . For a double garage of size 18ft(5.0by 20ft(6m)...

All crap soil is out and hardcore down 3 tons. Another ton on order Monday with compacting down to start. Concrete going down soon after. From pics floor will be to inside dpc level so about 100mm or more concrete required.

My fault i insisted he bring it down to 2.2m. He said it was ok. So you measure from the highest point on the ground say front of garden near garage to top of roof at rear of garage . He kept telling me it was ok but with me doubting his every move I was worried of the 2.5m limit

What's cost of tin vs felt as I have a choice?

Maximum height achieved with walls with roof to go on not exceed 2.5m. Roof to slope downward since rear height is near max with roof it would go over top. Digging floor to 8 inch deep and then hardcore 4 inch with 4 inch concrete. Roof on order tomorrow. Problem with door as it's 7ft high with...

Maybe in the next life lol That's too skilled for me.

You know something every time you guys suggest something I ask him and we reach a compromise. He will now take off the crap soil and then put hardcore down. I mentioned that he was getting a skip anyway so why not take it off as it should never have been placed there anyway. So base should be...

See your point but these guys speak from experience and most have been very helpful. Although I do feel like I'm whinging all the time with him like a woman with PMT.

Could have been but I remember he quoted £2500 initially and then added a few extras to around £3000. I'll see if I can find it.
