Approximate cost of building works

[intamixx]

I am getting some building works done to my residential home in 3 areas of the house. Wanted to know an approximate bracket or best estimate I should allow in my budget for the following work to be done. I know its difficult to tell without seeing the rooms in question, but if someone would be able to provide an approximation, it would be greatly appreciated. I can provide further information if required. Currently, the lounge area has been finished to concrete slab level only (no insulation or screed). I am getting a separate gas safe engineer to run the copper pipes for water and heating / install new boiler etc at a suitable time which I have received a quote for.

kitchen floor area = 26.1m2 (9.1m x 2.9m)
lounge floor area = 26m2
hallway floor area = 3.5m2
----------------------
Total floor area = 55m2

- Hardcore bed compacted at least 100mm, sand blinding for smooth base, 2000 gauge toughmax dpm, concrete slab minimum 150mm depth, 100mm celotex insulation, 100mm concrete screed minimum 75mm thickness
- Connect drainage from 1st floor ensuite to drainage under kitchen floor.

Probably around one kidney.

Probably around one kidney.

You're cheap. Do you have a card?

I opted out, don't want anyone else getting my kidneys.

But the cost of kidney's varies, the first kidney I'd give up is considerably less valuable than my second.

This is why you have kids..... not had to give up a single one of my kidneys to fund my build.

Kidney farming?

Look at getting recommended local trades to price your job. None of us here have seen things like access, logistics, ceiling heights, ground conditions, vehicular access (skips, deliveries etc), expected finishes or condition of exiting etc.
An experienced local builder could run the whole job and price it as such.

Besides which, there is a lot of stuff to price there and no one is going to be bothered on a forum for free with zero gain at the end of it.
