[QUOTE="Water Wheel, post: 8154871, member: 35980"] We are ready to start build but the quotes coming in are astronomic, well over £3000 / Sq m . It's a high spec. bungalow with all the bells and whistles ( GSHP, MHRV, UFH, complex roof shape etc) The builders are all so busy they can add a huge safety margin to the quote and still get work. All through the design phase we were repeatedly told it would cost around £2000 /Sq m . Do wonder about self-managing the build, just getting subcontractors in, which is all the builder will do. I am worried I would not have enough control on quality as the brickies etc know it’s a one off and that I can’t do it without them, while they can get work anywhere at the moment. [/QUOTE]
