not at all. wasn't even directing my comment at you really - was just struck when we were doing our work (and looking into options) etc that there's not a lot of transparency on the costs around these things and how people fund those costs. wish we'd had a thread like this to refer to before we set off on our odyssey, would have given us a better sense of total costs. I had originally thought our build would be one figure - it ended up 40% higher... and that was the lowest of the three builders quotes !

Everything is self funded (obvs we have a mortgage but not using debt for the renovation, hopefully!), no help from parents/relatives on this or previous house. One of the aims of the thread was to provide some idea of cost. I’d love it all to be cheaper but just giving the costs I’ve been told from architect/builder firm. Also not wanting to come across as a massive tosser. It’s a very hard thing to do when the quantum of things is pretty big so apologies if I’m coming across that way 😕
