I have seen a property that I want to buy but I want to get some idea off here (and maybe some rough ball parks from local builders) on the costs of:
Adding a second floor (for Main Bedroom and a Verandah)
Fitting a new b'room
A few cosmetic upgrades (like window frames etc)
Its one of "those" types of projects and I will be looking to lock in the price with the builder (once he has seen the work and provided accurate pricing)
Has anyone done this/know anyone who might be interested (has done this sort of thing before.
Thanks
Chris

Knowing the whereabouts would probably help, as in the uk there will be a big price difference from this work be carried out in london, to say sunderland.

Ah - very true
WA...
The idea is if people have done it before or if there is someone who does it then rough guides are greatly appreciated.
