Hi All,
Just had a preliminary quote from a company for a full renovation and extension to our four bed house in south dublin. The quote was from a reputable company and actually came in lower than expected as i always deemed this particular company to be high price from looking at previous projects they have done in the city.
As part of the quote i noticed they are charging €1,210 for hoarding and signage - Is this something the client must avail of by law in order to keep neighbouring properties free from dirt ? I always assumed builders put these up as form of advertising and they client doesn't foot the bill.
Also they have quoted €6500 for painting which seems excessive....would anyone know if this is now the standard rate ? Im do want an high quality finish so had around the €4k mark in my mind.
Finally they are pushing for a flat roof for the extension as opposed to an apex which the neighbouring property has. They say it will flow much better internally using this type of roof however i am concerned about the quality of lfat roof having heard horror stories down through the years. If given the choice is opting for a traditional apex always preferable ?
