<p>Hi there. I realise this is an old thread but I wonder if you happen to have a record of the name of the private building inspector Voytek used for final building regs sign off? We need a copy of our completion certificate and I can't for the life of me find it...</p>
<p>Many thanks and fingers crossed...</p>

<p>We got David to quote for our side extension based on the reviews on HoL. We decided not to go with him as his quote was 3x higher than the quote we had from a team who also provided project management. It was really surprising to see the cost difference for identical jobs</p>

<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>I am also interested in something similar- I have seen people recommending David O'Doherty on here before, but I can't find any details of him online- does he have a website or facebook? If not, would you be able to share any further details of the work you had done? </p>
<p>Sophie- how did you get on? have you met with any builders yet?</p>
<p>Thanks to you all for your advice!</p>

<p>We're planning a similar project and have met with 10 builders (invited them round for a chat and ballpark figure type thing). We also liked Voytek actually!</p>
<p>The rough-quotes ranged from between 150k-250k and we know the standard we want will be costing the 250k end. Plus factor in all the architect services, getting planning permission takes 3 months to start with and also renting somewhere to live nearby as you'll not be able to live inside.</p>

<p>All of them said maximum of 4 months for the whole thing, which we were dubious about so will plan for it to take 6 months just in case. Hope that's insightful.</p> Nah.

<p>Nah. Standard loft and apron side/ rear could be done for well under 200k. Well over 200k as well if you want! </p>
