Discussion
I am just looking at negotiating the price of a house in bristol which has detailed planning for a double garage with bedroom, dressing room and ensuite above it.
I know this is really difficult to answer, but as a very very rough guide. if you had to build a double garage with the facilites upstairs, what would be a rough idea on cost?
I will get proper quotes done as well, but need some back of fag packet calculations quite quickly.

need sizes. Average living accommodation works out roughly at £100 / square foot. The garage will lower that figure only slightly. So for a rough guesstimate work on £90 / square foot depending on finish. Dont include the roof void. So take the area of the garage say 10 foot by 10 foot the area of the accommodation above should be the same that gives you 200 square foot x £90 squid = £18,000

10ft deep isn't much for a garage. You'd need to increase that by at lease 50% to fit a normal sized car in. Consequently, your budget costs would go up by the same proportion. If it's genuinely detailed planning then you can calculate the areas with a fair degree of accuracy from the plans that were submitted for the consent.
£100 psf sounds about right to me for build cost but the reduced cost for the garage will probably be offset by internal decorating and cosmetic works to make a new connection into the extension. Whether it comes off hall staircase or landing you are probably going to have to redecorate the whole area in the existing house
You may also have a higher cost if you have to match to existing brickwork and have the wrong type of masonry. Last time I looked at the price of reclaimed yellow stock for our area (SE London) it was about £2 per brick!
Best bet is to get a quote from a local builder.

I would say that as its a triple garage you are looking at about 25ft wide by about 20ft deep., full power etc. with a bedroom, wet room and dressing room above. to be attached to the main house and have doors, windows etc fitted.
I work in meters but would agree with the £100/ft² which equates to around £1000/m². So 7x6x2=84m² (larger than plenty of modern houses) giving budget of £84,000. rsvmilly said:

Why do you always take things badly? If you read his comment, you can hardly think that it is having a go.
Perhaps you need to engage your brain before posting
