I’m pretty sure I didn’t include these in the tender! Yes the tenders have been returned. All are above the project budget and they vary quite a bit. The lowest is 1.5 times our budget, the highest is almost 2.5 times.
With the ongoing saga with Wessex Water, I’m beginning to wonder if we will have a project at all. Some re-thinking is needed. At this stage I am minded to get a contractor to build a shell for the extension, including all structural modifications. The rest could be done on a self-build basis.
There is scope for saving on materials. These tender returns include the Internorm windows, but as discussed in an earlier post, we have found alternatives, that are much cheaper and for only a relative small downgrade in performance.
