    Anyone have any idea what the approximate cost would be for a 500sqft changing room to include a wet area with about 4 showers, couple of toilets, and a couple of sinks.
    I know it would depend on materials spec etc... but a rough estimate even.

    Cheers

    What will it be used for?
    Is it a stand alone building or an extension?
    The building spec?
    Walls?
    Roof?
    Windows?
    Is there an existing boiler? size? what's running off it at the moment?
    Is there an existing tank/treatment system? is it going to the mains?
    Is it mains water supply or borewell supply?
    Is there an electricity supply?
    Wall finishs?
    Floor Finishs?

    What will it be used for?
    For use in a small gym

    Is it a stand alone building or an extension?
    Within a modern retail unit of approx 6000sqft, which is currently in a shell condition

    The building spec?
    As above

    Walls?
    Solid concrete

    Roof?
    Solid Concrete

    Windows?
    None within the area to be used for the changing room / shower area

    Is there an existing boiler? size? what's running off it at the moment?
    Is there an existing tank/treatment system? is it going to the mains?
    Is it mains water supply or borewell supply?
    Not 100% on these issues, but the unit has been classed as a unit suitable for a gym

    Is there an electricity supply?
    Yes

    Wall finishs?
    Floor Finishs?
    Again, its in shell condition at the moment so the entire unit is just solid concrete all over

    In a nutshell, i'm trying to open a small gym having saved solidly for a few years as well as being offered a few bob from someone to get it going, who's had to listen to me for years burning their ears about it :o
    The homework is done on everything except the cost of fitting out the changing rooms. I know its big ask for someone to pluck a figure out but if you could give a ballpark figure even, that would be something to work off.

    Appreciate the help
    Thanks

    About 15K + vat

    Nice one mate, cheers.

    Ok so, approx 15k + vat for one of 500sqft.
    So in essence, if I was to get an area of say 1000sqft done (500sqft each male / female) with a dividing wall between them, we'd be talking approx 30k?

    Thanks again.
