The material shortages and price predictions discussed in the original 2022 article are no longer suitable for current project budgeting. NU Projects has retained the useful procurement lessons and incorporated them into a complete 2026 quantity surveying guide.
Use the current London building cost guide
Read Building Costs Per Square Metre in London 2026: The Complete Guide for Prime and Standard Projects.
The updated guide includes cost ranges for extensions, loft conversions, renovations, basements and new builds, together with prime postcode benchmarks, exclusions, specification levels and current procurement risks.
It also explains the lasting lessons from earlier supply disruption: identify long lead items early, obtain live supplier feedback, record quotation expiry dates and coordinate procurement with the construction programme.
For a project specific cost plan, arrange a confidential consultation with NU Projects.
