Could anybody advise on approximate material cost of building a small 1m x 1.6 meter brick porch

I did similar. The bricky charged me £250 for 2 visits, 1 day and one evening.
I dug and poured the foundations then he built upto floor level one evening.
I then lined the inside with visqueen and poured the floor, probably about 5 or 6 inches thick. I didn't insulate it.
Then he built the rest of the bricks and blocks up once the floor had cured.
I then fitted the windows, door and roof. I did the roof with 4x2 rafters and Redland Cambrian tiles.

A wild guess, £500-600 materials. £500 for the door. That’s doing it yourself. The Brickie could do the walls in a couple of days.

I did everything except the brickwork. I even knocked down a neighbours wall to get an exact match on the bricks.
It probably took me 2 weeks working around my 'real work'. Foundations would have been a couple of hours but I'm very good on the end of a shovel.

£2k - £2.5k depending upon roof.
