What should I be expecting back from a builder when I ask them for a quote for my house extension?
I have provided a couple of builders with copies of the drawings and structural engineers report and asked them for a detailed quote, ie a breakdown of costs for building works, electrical, plumbing, kitchens, bathrooms etc but all seem reluctant to provide this. They are happy to give me a total price but if I don't know exactly what is included, then the total cost could increase if they haven't accounted for everything I want. Is this normal? Should I be doing things differently? Any advice/help would be great.
You are the employer, TELL the builder what you want done how you want the quote to read, IE bathroom suit £250 fitting £300 etc etc. It is after all your money at the end the builder should add a % for items like extra nails glue and other bits and pieces which are hard to calculate accurately and any extras you want fitted above the quote you agree with the builder in writing before you start a good builder will let you hold a % back for 3 months just in case of problems I DID SAY A GOOD BUILDER.
