OH HAI.
IMO...
Not much point going into planning without idea of cost.
I had a good build firm come round when I was weighing up options, who offered 3D designs and VR tours before build, who for a side and 2m out finger in the aired at 75K without glass or kitchen.
Here is a screenshot of how our costs worked out roughly. Your eyes will prob jump to 55K and think thats what we paid, but that doesn't include the door which was another 5ish, or VAT, another 11, or fees somewhere around 10...Power user @Sheppz may be able to help.

I got some rough costings from a couple of building firms pre-planning . This was done via my architect and contractors he works with regularly. TBH the quotes were not entirely accurate !

Could also share designs on here and an idea of the spec you might go for - unless it's totally unique I'm sure you'll be able to crowd source an accurate idea

I'm working with an architect on an extension on our house, and are heading toward planning. But I want (rough) building estimates as obviously that will affect what options we take forward. Our architect has suggested https://www.estimators-online.com/ but I can't find many reviews. Does anyone have any experience of build cost estimators? It's £125 so in the grand scheme of things not a huge amount of money but is it usual to go to planning without having an idea of costs?
