You were lucky to get a builder to do such a good job from start to finish at that price, you didn't really have any problems, they were good and the access was bad. Well done to them.

Wow. Awesome mate. Really appreciate your insight. Been watching from the beginning. This was definitely worth it. As I mentioned before I have a garage conversion that I'm planning. I've done the architecture drawings but I'm struggling to get a builder to price it up. Wishing you many success 👍🏾

Wow! Just kind of stumbled upon your project! Superb coverage. I have a large garden and I’m contemplating something similar. Your builders were a bit of a nightmare after half way and obviously had other commitments, almost like bigamist a husband that has many plates to spin. The quality looks great though! I wonder about the hot water system (excuse me if I haven’t read all the comments) could gas be an option? (Again thinking about my own situation) after your mum lives no in there for a while, what’s your energy bills like? Thank you for sharing your project. 😊 Roly

Hi, simple reason - they don't conform for full time habitation. They would have to be adapted and the cost of that is huge. The building we have will also last longer and require less maintenence. We initially looked at the pre-fab units but there would have actually worked out more expensive

Great Video I've watched every annexe video👍just wondering you said you have your hotub and the annexe fed from your main house electric feed, is this a 100 amp feed? I'm looking at getting a 32 amp hotub, but was advised to check I have capacity which I'm sure I will. Cheers

Thanks Andy. Yes it does run off a 100amp feed. Think it would have been the same with or without the annexe, the tub uses more electric than the house and annexe combined x2. 🥺

The project seemed very inexpensive to me from what we’ve seen but we’ve been looking at ‘annexe builders’. Where do you live? I can only think that it’s regional costs that make the difference. Also was planning etc also included in your final numbers?
@limitedinsight
Жыл бұрын
Hi Julia, we're in the Midlands so maybe cheaper than down south somewhere. This was all before the COLC though, I'm sure it would be at least another 5k now. All costs were accounted for in the total tally. Planning costs were not much at all. Builder worked off plan so we only ended up spending about £1000 on the architect and a lot of that was probably unnecessary. Depends on your personal skills I guess. Companies that specialise in annexes do seem to charge a lot more, I see it like when you need a cake "£150, oh it's for a wedding, that'll be £300 then". Better to just get someone that can build, period. The job websites are a good call, MyBuilder etc.

Sure. No gas, electric cable was £700 but would have been cheaper if it didn't also feed our hot tub. The water pipe and waste water pipe were included in the 50k build cost so don't know how much they accounted for on this. I can't imagine it would have been cheap as a lot of work was required, a lot of excavation, 3 man holes and all the pipe.

I have followed the build with interest. Well done on getting a builder to turn out an acceptable job. I built my own natural stone house because I was sick of being messed around by 'professionals' who either didn't turn up or made Yosser Hughes look like Roger Bisby with their efforts. Took a long time, but I saved about 300 large. There are some 'Friday afternoon' aspects to your build (mainly with the roof) but you have probably spotted a few yourself anyway. Watch out for mould though - ventilation is key with kitchen and shower room close together, plus the dot and dab plasterboard that can trap condensation behind it. Good luck.
