A clear budget starts with clear scope.
The cost follows from the existing building and the agreed work.
Precision in materials and bespoke work
Compare the complete intervention
Identify samples, measurement and coordination separately in the budget. Craftsmanship involves preparation and accurately fitted transitions as well as the material itself.
Which trade-off matters?
A minimal joint or concealed fixing may need extra coordination. Compare the intended appearance with tolerances, maintenance and replaceability before treating a detail as straightforward.
What belongs in the budget?
- Survey, investigations and design preparation.
- Demolition, foundations, structure and new building elements.
- Electrical, water, heating and ventilation work.
- Windows, floors, walls, kitchens and bathrooms.
- Access, protection, scaffolding and waste removal.
- Clearly identified provisional sums and change arrangements.
A starting price needs a defined scope.
Ask for work, materials, VAT, assumptions and provisional sums to be clearly described. Undecided items should remain visible so an early estimate is not mistaken for a fully developed final budget.
