Silvan Architects’ Post

Money doesn't grow on trees. So how much does it actually cost to build an extension in Bath in 2024? We answer the question in our most in-depth and requested blog yet. Read the full article (and find out how you can make savings) via https://lnkd.in/eRv7FyBr , but here's a quick summary: 1. An architect helps to manage your budget, which needs to cover the build cost - approx 70% - and all other associated costs such as approvals, design, surveys, contingency, and of course VAT - all these vary depending on your project, but usually approx 30%. 2. The build cost (before VAT) in Bath for a single storey extension is similar to London, at about £2,900-£3,600 per square meter. 3. Therefore a 20sqm extension build cost should be about £60k... 4...But you also need to factor in works to the existing house, about another £50k in this case, including a new kitchen. 5. Which gives us a total net build cost of £110,000. 6. And we would advise a total budget of around £160,000.
