Welcome
For many people starting out on a major project, there’s one question that needs answering before anything else: how much will it cost? I’m often asked about this at our Build It Live shows (the next one is at Bicester, Oxfordshire, on 11th & 12th June) but it’s always tough to give a hard-and-fast guide, because at the end of the day every self build, renovation and extension is bespoke. That’s why we developed the Benchmark House concept, a unique virtual scheme that gives you detailed reference costings for every part of a new build home – plus indicative costs for popular variations.
