Extension Options

    In the early stages of planning some work at home.

    At a minimum, I want to knock the (load bearing) wall between kitchen and dining room to open it up and put in a new kitchen. The kitchen is 'extended', a small ~12x12 single storey extension, all houses in the estate have it.

    What's the best way of going about getting ball park figures for options? I'll do the design work myself (Arch tech in a previous life) but I've a few ideas of either extending the extension across the full width, leaving as is, knocking it and building another one on the opposite side, etc.

    Should I look at getting a few builders over to look at sketches? I've no real budget in mind which may be the problem. No problem funding the wall removal and new kitchen, but deciding whether to borrow or not to get a bigger job done.

    Budget 1500 per square meter for a builders finish. Then add on flooring and kitchen. Any out of the ordinary sliders, large glazed units will add to the price.

    Work out roughly what you want or roughly what you have to spend and then design around that.

    Allow for structural input and certification.
