Costs wooden extension
Before having a wooden extension built, it is important to know whether it fits your budget. The prices of a wooden extension are lower than those of a brick extension. This is because the foundation and superstructure are very light. Of course, you can make it as expensive as you want with the finishes. Below is a price indication of the various finishes and prices for a wooden extension (5 metres wide x 3 metres deep).
| Style wooden extension | Prefab (ready-made) | Made-to-measure |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | £ 16.000 – £20,000 | £19,000 – £23,000 |
| Classical/Modern | £18,000 – £22,000 | £21,000 – £25.000 |

A larger project is when you have a complete extension built where you can put your car, for example. For a complete wooden extension of 6 metres wide and 2.5 metres deep, including floor foundations, construction, sliding doors, pile driving, excavation and making the roof, you arrive at an average price of £23,000.

How does the price breakdown of a wooden extension look like?
What choices affect the price?
With a wooden extension, the price is determined by 4 choices.
Choice 1: Prices for the width and depth of a wooden extension
When you have a wooden extension built, the dimensions are very important. By paying attention to the dimensions, it is possible to factor in the overall cost. For example, prices in depth are higher than prices in width. Prices in depth are approximately £1,250 per half metre and for the width you arrive at an average price of £1,000.
Choice 2: Prefabricated or customised kitchen extension?
Another choice is to opt for a prefabricated or customised extension. A prefabricated extension means the extension is made in the factory and later installed on site. This ensures little mess in and around your home and the extension is up within a few days. A prefabricated extension has fixed dimensions, but dimensions that are common. A custom-made extension costs more time and money. Your wishes are incorporated into the extension and built on site. In this case you will be about £2,000 more expensive than with a prefabricated extension.
Choice 3: Additional option
