Lol a grand a day labour? That's a bit rich even if 3 of them working on it. Two of them a grand a day? Mega lolz.

I know - I really hope there's a surprising amount of building materials included.

I think our builders day rate worked out at a quite reasonable £200 for the extra bits we had done.
Is the cill load supporting? There will be planning/building control to consider are those costs included? We had an extra £400 tacked on for that. Though they did everything and were cosy with the local planners.

We need a lintel raised in a chimney breast to fit an extractor in, walls all need skimming, and the ceiling needs batten and boarding. Tiles on the floor that all need to come up as well so theres a scrim that needs to go down. YMMV.
If I could take a few weeks off work, I feel like I could make a pretty decent dent in the work excl. gas and electrics. Quote mentions 7-10 days so he values the work day rate at over a grand a day incl his markup.
