We see these types of posts ALL the time.
The old way was to get your plans drawn up and then take it to 3 builders to get quotes.
The builder quoting was either spending 40+ hours (for free) to provide an accurate quote or using m2 rates and allowances to throw a figure at it to try and win the job.
This no longer works.
Engage your builder early as a consultant and work as a team with your designer so you arenโt asking question like this ๐
