<< Back to projects

The costs of building your extension, or renovating and refurbishing your home, can be huge. If you are getting builders in, its a great idea to have an idea of what the costs are likely to be and if you are planning to Do It Yourself, then that knowledge is just as important. The books below will give you a great guide and there is some great on line help available also.
