As a guide, £2,500–£5,500 including VAT. Ground conditions, glazing, the roof and how far the house is opened up move the final figure within the range.

In Scotland you need a building warrant from the council before any work starts, and a completion certificate accepted at the end. The design follows the Scottish Building Standards Technical Handbooks.
