Yeah please do share, this is what this thread is all about! Are you london based? Happy with the results? Apologies if you’ve shared previously and I’ve forgotten.
Tbh even if I had the budget I wouldn’t do anything that wild so hopefully cost can be similar. I do want a bit of a special window though, but I’ll chuck that on a credit card.

Yeah, Waltham Forest end of E7. I'm happy with the build main issues with my lot was communication (or lack of on their end) and all the covid/brexit issues that everyone has had.
You seem to know a lot about this shit already and also what stuff you actually want, I think this is a big advantage and will make it (hopefully) a less painful process. Me and my wife entered the whole thing clueless desperately trying to get it done as quickly as possible with two babies, not the best idea I reckon.
I'll try and get costs posted tonight when the kids are in bed.
The biggest saving would seem to be in the build rather than the finish, figures for just builds seem to vary anywhere from 50 to 100k.
Our build was around 60k and unless the builders are doing something that is really specialised I can't see where the extra 30k would go (even with different cladding options)?
We've pretty much finished the loft now, I was meaning to put a full breakdown of costs on here if it would be useful, as I was completely clueless with regards to costs before we started and I'm sure I'm not the only one?
