I got a quote back from the builder(€90000---€115000 inclusive of vat). The downstairs extension will be approx 50sq metres and the upstairs will be very small(literally just an ensuite). This is the first quote that I got. I would want to spend a good bit more on the kitchen and the quote does not include bathroom fittings etc. Straight away this probably adds €15000 on to the quote(2 bathrooms and extra for the kitchen).The builder came and took a look at the house last week and brought an architect with him(that he works with a lot). My worry(apart from escalating costs) is what will happen the room behind the extension. As a general rule of thumb is there a good chance that this room will be dark. But how will I know this unless the extension is actually built?
