I was thinking of maybe having a bedroom extension built.
It would be on the 1st floor and on top of an already existing flat
roof kitchen extension. I don't know if the foundations of the
kitchen extension were designed to hold the weight of an additional
floor as it was already built.
The extension would be approximately 7ft x 7ft built of blocks and
pebble dashed. The wall of the house which would have to be knocked
out to extend outwards would be (I assume) a load bearing wall as it
is an external wall).
Was just wondering if anyone would know roughly what it might cost to
build such a bedroom extension. Just a vague idea...
Its impossible to say without knowing if the existing flat roofed kitchen
extension would take the weight of the new 1st floor.
Could be 10-20k for a simple job depending on where you live.
A friend of mine had 2 rooms put on top of existing integral garage, which
could take the weight.
His is about double your floor area and it cost £30k, in the midlands.
Budget at about 80 quid a square foot, and you won't be far off.
