1Executive Summary

This report sets out our estimate for the construction of a single storey rear extension at 14 Oakfield Road, London SW00 0AA, providing approximately 42 m² additional floor area. It has been prepared for Mr & Mrs Sample on the basis of the drawings and information listed in Section 2.

Net works£113,971.70
Net total (incl. OH&P + contingency)£128,788.03
Total incl. VAT£154,545.64

The net total of £128,788.03 includes overheads and profit at 8% and a construction contingency at 5%. With VAT at 20%, the total is £154,545.64.

The estimate carries PC and provisional sums totalling £27,414.00 for items not yet finally selected (Section 7). We have also set out value engineering options in Section 8 that could reduce the cost by up to £7,150.00 if adopted.

This is an estimate rather than a fixed-price tender. It should be read together with the assumptions, exclusions and qualifications, which define exactly what is and is not included. All dimensions must be verified on site before ordering or starting work.

Key figure: £128,788.03 net  /  £154,545.64 including VAT. Valid 90 days.

2Basis of Estimate

This estimate has been prepared on the following basis. Where information was not available, a reasonable allowance has been made and identified as a PC or provisional sum.

ProjectSingle Storey Rear Extension, 42 m² additional floor area
Location14 Oakfield Road, London SW00 0AA
ScopeConstruction of the extension including groundworks, structure, roof, external envelope, first and second fix, finishes, kitchen and sanitaryware installation, and associated external works.
MeasurementQuantities measured from the listed drawings in accordance with NRM2 principles.

ProgrammeSingle continuous build assumed. No allowance for phasing or accelerated working.
ContractAssumed a standard domestic building contract. Not yet agreed.

If any of the above changes, in particular a drawing revision or a change of specification, the estimate should be revisited.
