Budget Cost Plan
The logical first step on your self-build journeyWhat is a Budget Cost Plan?
The Budget Cost Plan is a document which includes all of the expected costs of your build, based on available information – such as the design drawings. The costs are established through what is called an elemental build-up, meaning that all the different elements of the project are considered.
The plan brings together not only the costs of your timber kit from Neat Living but also the other construction and fit-out costs, which will be undertaken by a local contractor.
The plan is prepared by an independent Quantity Surveyor and uses local construction rates – appropriate for the site location. A budget cost plan is the logical starting point for understanding your project costs.

Why you need a Budget Cost Plan (before you start)
If you are asking the question, “How much will my project cost?” then this is where a Budget Cost Plan can really help you.
To put it succinctly, it allows you to get an early handle on costs and make an early “stop” or “go” decision before incurring additional design or planning-related costs. Once you have your completed Budget Cost Plan you can proceed to the next steps – design and planning permission.
Are you curious about finding out how much it will cost to build your house? A Budget Cost Plan is needed to gain an informative understanding of costs prior to undertaking other aspects, such as ground surveys, planning and undertaking detailed design. Reasonable allowances, which are called provisional sums, can be made for items not designed at this stage.
The Top Three Benefits Of A Budget Cost Plan
No. 1 The Construction Cost
Do you want to know what your construction costs could be? The plan generates the initial high-level expected costs for undertaking your build. Allowances can be made for items that are not fully designed at this stage.
No. 2 Funding
The plan provides essential information that allows you to decide on options to fund your project, either self-funding or financing via a self-build mortgage. If you are thinking of applying for a self-build mortgage, you will need to provide details about expected construction costs – and an independently prepared budget cost plan will be able to provide details about these costs.
No. 3 Convenience
Neat Living takes care of all of the complex work behind the scenes and will generate the background information for the project, prepare the budget cost plan and have it delivered to you for your consideration.
