It's a relatively simple and small extension. We told him we had a budget of £110,000 inclusive of everything. It's hard to say exactly what the quote is because there's not a lot of clarity on the contractor's quote. But even with several large parts of the work definitely being omitted, and maybe others that we don't know about, it's already reached £165,000. Despite claiming to manage costs at the start he's never given us a budget estimate - I've had to cobble it together from various bits of baffling contractor emails and random bits of quotes from material suppliers.
