Default Cost of building Porch

Passed by this front porch being built nearby and thought i might try to
build one myself. Its built on a concrete base that comes to near the level
of the front door.

On speaking to the builder I asked what he would charge to build one, he
said £6,700. He said the door alone cost £700.

My son is always telling me I'm 40 years behind when i put a price on
things, so i'm thinking with such high cost of the door and materials etc,
that £6,700 might be a reasonable price for such a porch? Or if not what
would be a reasonable price to pay for such a build these days?


What purpose does that porch serve, what use does that space
serve,except for a few minutes on a rainy day.
too small for a study, sewing room,or bedroom, expensive waste of space.
