A clear budget starts with clear scope.
The cost follows from the existing building and the agreed work.
Retaining character indoors
Compare the complete intervention
Separate retention, repair and new bespoke work in the quotation. This shows the preparation and protection effort alongside the visible end result.
Which trade-off matters?
Making every surface perfectly uniform can remove recognisable details. Compare local repairs with full renewal and agree where small dimensional differences may deliberately remain visible.
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.
