Costs of Excavating a Basement Under Front Garden information and advice on general building topics, builders merchants, problem builders, DIY Stores etc....

Hi.

I'm trying to find out approximate costs of digging up my front garden for a basement.

I've already spoken to my local council and they said that as long as the basement was no bigger than the current house footprint, I should be allowed to do it.

Another article on this website mentioned a cost of around £3000/metre, but I'm not sure what that means. Is that per square metre of basement floorspace?

Thanks,

Carl

you will need to have plans drawn so an accurate price can be produced
