Hi
We are looking to build an extension. It will be a straight forward 5m x 4.5m single storey 'box' added to the rear of the bungalow, with a vaulted ceiling, velux windows in roof, and bi fold doors.
A local builder has quoted a 'ball park' figure of £1100 per metre, plus extra £5000 for 3m bi fold doors and 4 velux windows. Total £30k.
I am considering project managing myself and getting in the various trades to undertake the build, ie groundwork, brickie, roofer, plasterer etc. These would be paid daily rates (Essex).
The question is..........would I save much by doing this, or, in the opinion of those wiser than me, would the saving be marginal.
Thanks in advance....
