How Much Will a UK House Extension Cost 2024
Вставка

- I look at the construction costs of a house extension I recently finished and discuss the square meter rate, as well as a breakdown of the costs. I also give suggestions on how the design was created to keep costs low.
If you are considering a house extension in the UK you can book a consultation with me to sense check your ideas, budget and timescale - www.reallifearchitecture.co.u... please read the terms and conditions before you book.

Another great video Neil, these costing videos are some of my favourite. Keeps me sane as i watch the bills come in for my self build 😂
Glad you find my content useful, it’s the best compliment
Great video. No nonsense, good advice. Thanks for your transparency! Being open about the reality is so important. We were given a projection of £2100 + VAT sq/m only 9 months ago for an extension in London. When the quote came through for the build last month it was more than double!!
Thanks, costs are proving very hard to predict with any certainty since Covid
Was not expecting it to be so expensive, if someone told me that price I think it would be cheaper for me to move into a bigger house. I do live in the North West though where houses are cheaper.
I feel like people will look at these costs and will rule out extensions altogether, not sure what effect that will have on the building trade but in my estimation it's all too expensive. They will probably resign themselves into getting a conservatory which in some cases is not much cheaper and are also tough to heat. Then they will look at these weird cheap prefab extensions but will ultimately rule them out as they'll probably be problematic to the value of the house in the long term. If you want more space for value of money you are better just buying another house sadly, even in this overpriced market. Most neighbours or other people I know got extensions 20 years ago when it was still financially viable.
Nice video. Would have been better with just a couple of pictures at the end, showing the finished build to see how it all came together from the construction photos you showed.
True but I don’t have those yet. Am planning to shoot a series of my projects when the weather improves
Thanks for the video, some useful points for sure. Are you able to say the rough percentage split between material and labour costs? Understand if that's all private. Thanks mate.
In general it’s about 50/50 but for extensions, depending on the design and layout it can be more material than labour. For renovation projects, especially in older buildings, it’s more labour.
Awesome video! Just asking out of curiosity. Is there any volunteering work I can do for you? I am recent architectural technology graduate from London South Bank University.
Thanks for getting in touch, I appreciate you asking but I work from home and don’t employ staff
Hi great video thank you, does this include the architects fee, how much roughly does an architect cost for a small extension. thank you, greetings from Nottingham!
Hi, the costs are just for construction. Here’s a video I made about my fees for a house extension ua-cam.com/video/P4slsOVUN2Q/v-deo.htmlsi=jgLSjXGRmm-CDSfz
How is the roof £39k? That's the cost of a brand new Volkswagen ID4!
Phenolic insulation, plywood, structural timber, single ply membrane and labour. It all adds up. 70 square meters
@@RealLifeArchitecturestill the most staggering part of that breakdown for me.
Was the rest of the building retrofitted to improve performance?
No
Everyone's buying Barges or caravans now that houses are taking the piss on price
