    Got something like this done a while back
    Quotes varied from 25 - 38k.

    Finally got a latvian team to do it for 16K

    To builders finish, taking a conservative figure of 50 euro per sq ft (houses are priced at the 70 - 80 mark) you are looking at 600 sq ft @ 50 euro/sqft = 30,000.

    You, can im sure get it done for less, but to get qualified tradesmen with insurance i dont see it being any less than that
