Mum is just thinking of doing 3 bedrooms and possibly turning the downstairs toilet into an en-suite bathroom for one of the bedrooms (bedrooms are on the ground floor, lounge/kitchen/bathroom/dining is on top). ]]> Mon, 07 Jun 2010 20:54:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33907&PID=1055909&title=extensions#1055909 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33907&PID=1055869&title=extensions#1055869 Author: myfullhouse

We have just extended our house and I would hate to see how much it has cost us per m2 , but then it did included a rather large kitchen. DH has done it all himself.

Before we started I asked around and was told $1200-1500 per m2 but then I would think it largely depends what you are adding on, bathrooms and kitchens are alot more expensive than bedrooms]]> Mon, 07 Jun 2010 20:29:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33907&PID=1055869&title=extensions#1055869 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33907&PID=1055803&title=extensions#1055803 Author: High9

Just make sure you get a few quotes then play each company/builder off against each other to get the best deal. Some building companies are really struggling for work at the mo so will drop their prices and take a hit in their margins to get work.]]> Mon, 07 Jun 2010 18:40:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33907&PID=1055737&title=extensions#1055737 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33907&PID=1055672&title=extensions#1055672 Author: Renee & Lauren

We recently looked at adding a second story to our house.
The couple of quotes we got were for $800-$1000 per sqm. That included everything, except carpet.

My mum is looking at extending some of the bedrooms in our family house.

She was wondering if anyone had recently extended rooms, either with their own DIY work or by a builder and if so, roughly how much it was per square meter that was added iygwim?

When I was in college and did graphics the teacher told us the general thumb of rule was $1000 per sq/m. Is this still the case?

Thanks in advance. ]]> Mon, 07 Jun 2010 15:51:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33907&PID=1055594&title=extensions#1055594
