back to estimates list. A ground level house extension in Australia costs around $1,400-1,500 per square metre. When house prices are high, as they are in many parts of Australia at the moment, adding a room or extending your living area on the ground floor can be a more affordable way to create space than moving.
As a rule of thumb you can add 50% extra to the build cost of a single storey extension. So, Â£24,000 +50% = Â£36,000. + Add on 10-15% for professional fees (architect, planning application, building regs, structural engineer).+ VAT.ou may have heard that the rule of thumb is Â£1,000 per m2. However, this figure has been bandied about for rather a long time now! From experience, Â£1,200 per m2 is a now a more realistic estimate for a house extension cost in 2015 and reflects price increases over the last few years.
