Extension will take how long! I think builder must be planning on hand making the bricks!

[WhoTheFuckIsSimon]

Had a quote today for a very small extension. 170cmx80cm, single story. Two walls are already there as my house currently has a dog leg which I want squaring off, so only two walls need actually building.

Then plaster boarding, painting. Loo and sink put in so I guess ey need attaching to waste water and water supply.

Builder reckons 4-6 weeks! Does this sound right?

It will need foundations though too won't it. How many people working on it? Next door to us converted a garage in to a bathroom and bedroom and I think that took at least that long and didn't involve any new walls or foundations, just internal ones and bricking up the garage door.

Sounds like ive under estimated how long these things take then. No idea how many people working on it. Never asked!

[Marmitelover55]

And I assume it needs walls taking down and steels putting in? Sounds about right to me!

[WhoTheFuckIsSimon]

No wall to take down but a doorway to be put in. Not sure if steel RSJ will be needed. Maybe.
