1-bed flat renovation on a tight budget

In this video, I go through the entire cost list of my property renovation and show you how you might be overpaying for your renovation. Some of the costs involved in refurbishing a property are primarily on the kitchen, bathroom, and general property expenses. In the breakdown of the expenses, you will see kitchen appliances, worktops, bathroom fixtures, tiles, radiators, doors, flooring, paint, and labour costs.
Always utilize discounts, manage contingencies, and consider various options for materials and labour to optimize expenses during the refurbishment process. Lastly, don't forget the ongoing running costs, including utilities, insurance, mortgage payments, and potential delays and contingencies.

We are how ever still in talks to agree on a lower price. Would be helpful to find a builder that could do the flat Refurb/modernisation using materials from this list you provided.

So it's less headache for you Or do you find the individual trades, schedule them in and project manage the refurb yourself? I think you mentioned its around 50% cheaper to manage yourself which is why you prefer to do it? Thanks Ahmed Yunus

    Those integrated appliances were really expensive as we're the handles and quartz tops . As a builder I could get the equivalent from a different supplier at a lower trade price, I often don't use the Lnpg discount because of this and stick to trade . There are some good deals to be had for example I've picked up laminate for £5per m2 and lvp for £10per m2 in the past , as well as some plumbing items from wolseley. £100 per day is absolutely crazy for quality trades for example for unpaid labourers I pay them £120+ for decorators £150-200 for carpenters £250-300 and the same or more for electrical and plumbing . It's obviously a balance but I'd always pay for quality trades people and allow them to supply materials or at least take their advice. Buying materials on your own can be a big problem as you have no idea how they are installed the ease of installation, time saved on installation of more expensive material can actually work out cheaper . Easy for me to say this as a builder/landlord but I can also look at this from both sides

Of course, the cost to do this is extremely high, but Muslims have been crowdfunding for centuries.. imagine a Muslim household with 6 siblings.. each could save together to eventually start a business like this.
