'𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗵 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝘆 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁?'
'There’s no point spending a single Great British penny until you, expert architectural designer, with all your credentials and experience can riddle me that.'
Its a fair question, one I have tried to answer succinctly for well over 10 years now. I might just have an answer that goes some way to help answer it. If you have 2 minutes, please read on, it might help you move from talking to your partner about an extension, and talk to an expert with all the credentials etc...

So I go to a Ferrari garage (bear with me) but it turns out I can't afford a car, therefor I am resigned for the rest of my life to use the metro. Is this true?....of course not.
I think there must be a better way, so I go to another car garage with a wide selection of cars, and I tell the man in the shiny suit I want to buy a car. He shows me the most expensive one he has, but it only has 2 seats AND is too expensive. Damn...my final chance to have my own private transportation dashed yet again. off I go to get the metro before I'm late to get the kid from football practise.
𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗳, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝗕𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲𝘁 and we go from there -
I decide that I need a car that's suitable for my two kids (boy and a girl, 9 and 7) The dog (a cockapoo in case you were wondering) myself and my darling beloved, I have around £15,000 to spend, but I'm a little flexible on budget for the right make and model, I like German cars, Dad likes sporty, and Mum likes safety. What can you show me that fits the brief and budget.
How much will my extension cost? It will cost your budget. It's not an extension, its a happier life for you and the kids. Put a price on that...
