    Without seeing the spec Its hard to say but in my opinion plenty of change over

    depends on how long the piece of string is....... you can spend 60k on a kitchen or 3k so as you can see the answer is all in the detail.

    Thanks for the comments so far, here is a little more detail...

    So I want a 25-30sq metre single story extension, finished to a decent standard.

    The kitchen would need to be pretty good but in my head I'm thing about 20k? Am I way off there?

    Attic will be a standard conversion but it my require a couple of dormers.

    How much would I be talking for new triple glaze windows and doors for the whole house?

    Just a stab/ballpark...but, I reckon around 115K (+) for what you have described built to a good (and compliant) standard. In that I am allowing E10K for replacement triple glazed windows/doors.

    Just bear in mind that you will need planning permission if you want to add dormers.

    Again I would need some speck but I would be talking 30k for the build, 15k for a really nice kitchen, maybe a little under 10k for the windows and 18k for a really nice attic.
    Now thats 73,000.00 plus the vat and includes signing off cert so your still under the 100,000 so that leaves plenty for the dormers and planning

    Over 100k IMO. 650gs, you ignored the Ewi, bathroom/ plumbing, and all the retro-fit / extension associated items that are not covered in the OP's detailed list

    Well there all the small things included just my price range
