Hi there, this is my first post. I'm seeking some advice on how I go about planning my home extension. I am buying a 3 bed semi which is need of a complete gut out.
I have an initial budget of approx £110k +£20k contingency
I had a builder suggest phasing the refurb+build, so I had a think and came up with the below idea. I'm speaking to an architect about it, but I'd love to get some advice and second opinions from experts on the forum that have done projects like this before.
My main questions are
Existing floorplan:
Phase 1:
Phase 2: target budget £120k
Upstairs

My main questions are
- How would you phase the build, given the initial budget?
- Structurally, what do we need to consider with each phase?
- Roughly, do our budgets sound about right?
Existing floorplan:
Phase 1:
- Refurb inside (new electrics, plastering, plumbing, boiler, floor, heating, doors, windows)
- Rear extension approx 45m/sq (kitchen/diner + utility space)
Phase 2: target budget £120k
- Double side extension
- Build over existing rear extension for part double rear
- Loft - not part of design
Upstairs
