***BE CAREFUL PROPERTY CAN BE COSTLY ***
This property is located in CREWE
This ISNT a ROI post this is showing reality as well as great rois
This was a 3 bed mid terrace to 6 bed all en suite, rear extension, full dry rot basically the works
A builder quoted £60k ( cheapest quote arnt always the best)
This client came to us after paying the 60k and builder went quiet and builder became ill ( we saw this builder up a ladder on another house few days later so not that ill)
We saw this job and was shocked at 60k
straight away i said even without looking from advise told its going be around 100k
broken down quickly
- 68k – 6 bed all en suite
- extension – 23k
- windows and doors – 3k
- plus 5% vat
leaves just under 100k but with unknown and dry rot will push over 100k
So we were called in to help
What we found was shocking and disgusting why anyone would do this but from experience builders will under quote just to get the work this is why we get a QS in on 90% of jobs
I hear you ask what did we find ?
Extension had NO footings
- BCO was never paid for or appointed
- 2nd hand steel used on knock through on house to extension
- no pad stones used for steel
- plaster boarding been done but 2nd fix pipes not fitted causing leaks
- no boiler fitted (unvented tank system needed)
- the loft wasn’t reinforced to take tank
- no sign of certs for current works
- extension flat roof wasn’t covered
- 1 shower when the hot water was turned on it warms the radiator up ( yes the hot feed was linked to radiator)
- screws through pipes
- ect ect ect
So another 40k later the job was completed and now fully tenanted by my lettings team
Just be careful folks there is a lot of work out there and not enough genuine builders
THIS IS THE END RESULT WE MANAGED GET TOGETHER, SIGN THE WORKS OFF, GET BCO INVOLVED AND A HAPPY CLIENT
