Can be many variables - but...
2020-21 Anecdotal on a straightforward 3.6m back extension in outer NW London -
Initial client contact September 12th
Planning submitted December 24th
Planning approved Feb 16th
Engineer site visit March 11th
Structural drawings received April 27th
Tendered to contractors May 7th. but start dates not sooner than October and many looking to book for 2022 as a preference - also prices likely to be +30% upso basically 3.5 months up to planning, 2 months standard planning consultation period, 3 months to being ready to tender to contractors. You can run the detailed design/engineer's work whilst it's in for planning but there is risk of abortive work should the design need adjusting or not get permission at all.

I can't bear looking at them champagne marins since mine got stealed but this is a banger ! great job

I just got a bag of "oxygen bleach" because the internets told me this was a good option for deck cleaning - we'll see.

I’d assume the batons and 90x20 fascia are sib. larch or western red cedar (not treated )- okay for external use particularly when stained /painted. Places that do larch and cedar cladding will have other planed boards for doing reveals and trims etc. Try silvatimber or Southgate timber.

few yrs back but that particular unit - 2180 inc vat. - yours is less than half the size though so .. ? + install by a builder o course.

Sorry I don't - vaguely remember someone told me they can be a bit of a pain to get / install.
I specified Fineline once and the builder got an alternative from https://www.nordicalutimber.co.uk/aluminium it was a spanish system but they rebranded it as "Bauvision" because vorsprung durch technik and that. -
yeah in the first instance all you can do is use a £/m2 . If the general floor area of what you want plus a healthy contingency is way over then reduce the ambition.
£2300 is what I’m seeing for standard back extension stuff at the moment - that’s without fancy joinery , nice cladding and posh glazing etc
Builders are crazy busy right now - materials are scarce or doubling in price.
That quantity surveying website looks quite good tbf - having a ‘plan check’ by a local qs is another route and shouldn’t be too costly.

Hold the phone - how does this relate to your YB ‘aeropress grind’ setting - I generally do 17g /250ml / 2.5 mins plus a 30 sec press (basically Hoffman’s) with it.
Yes I need a grinder.
