How Sixes uses these figures
The ranges are early planning allowances for defined carpentry stages, not interchangeable prices for different house types or plot counts. Actual pricing depends on drawing revisions, package boundaries, material supply, repetition and the site programme.
They can help frame an initial scope conversation. A useful request includes the site address, current drawings and structural information, specification, schedules, plot count, programme and whether the package is labour only or supply and installation.
Typical planning ranges
Single-stage package
Often from £5,000–£20,000+Could cover a defined first-fix, second-fix or smaller roof scope.
Whole-plot carpentry package
Often £15,000–£50,000+The stages included, house type, supply arrangement and programme determine the total.
Multi-plot programme
Priced from drawingsRepetition can improve efficiency while sequencing and programme carry their own requirements.
What changes the price?
- Plot count and repetition
- Labour-only versus supply and fit
- Access, crane and scaffold provision
- Programme, sequencing and drawing quality
What a useful quotation should make clear
Compare the written scope rather than the final number alone. Check who supplies each item, what preparation and making good are included, which assumptions rely on unseen conditions, how variations are agreed and whether VAT is included. For larger work, professional fees, statutory approvals and contingency should sit visibly beside the construction figure.
Figures are broad planning allowances, not quotations or offers. Confirm whether VAT, material supply, access equipment, lifting, waste and other trade interfaces are included in each written price. Drawing revisions, site conditions, specification and programme can change the total.
