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.
We’ve just finished pricing up the 2017 version, in partnership with the Build It Estimating Service, and you’ll find the results bundled free with this issue. I hope it gives you a good starting point on which to base your sums!
