Tender increase

3 December 2012

In 2000 I built a 13m x 11m house with an attic room and slate roof for £150,000, using all top quality materials. I’m now considering a similar project. How much have building costs increased since then?

Answers

Building costs (the cost of labour and materials) have risen by about 30% since 2000. But tender costs (what builders charge) have increased by more than double that owing to demand.
