Total cost estimate (inc VAT)
For businesses
Love Renovate creates and licenses branded renovation calculators for architects, builders, home-improvement businesses and larger organisations.
Use your estimate as a starting point for setting a realistic budget and comparing different versions of your extension. It is designed for early planning, before you have detailed drawings and quotations.
Your breakdown covers professional fees, labour and building work, windows and doors, heating, decorating and finishing, contingency and VAT.
The estimate responds to your location, extension type, floor area, rooms and finish level. Adjust these details to compare different specifications and project sizes.
Site access, structural complexity, glazing, materials and the detail of your design can all affect quotations, as can local labour costs and unexpected work.
Every property and design is different. The calculator cannot identify hidden structural problems, unusual ground conditions, difficult access, planning requirements or bespoke design details. Treat the result as an initial budgeting guide rather than a quotation, and base your final budget on a developed design and quotations for your property.
It provides an early estimate based on the project information you enter. It cannot replace drawings, a detailed specification or quotations from professionals and contractors who have assessed your property.
Yes. The total shown by the calculator includes VAT. Your eventual VAT treatment and costs should still be confirmed against the quotations you receive.
The cost breakdown includes an allowance for professional fees. The actual amount will depend on the services your project needs and the professionals you appoint.
Yes. A contingency allowance appears within the breakdown, but it cannot guarantee that every unexpected cost will be covered. Discuss an appropriate contingency with your architect or builder.
Labour rates and building costs vary across the UK. Entering your postcode allows the calculator to reflect regional differences when producing your initial estimate.
