OP, I don't think anybody on this forum can TRULY give you a detailed breakdown UNTIL you engage a structural engineer to carry out a soil test to determine what sort of foundation would be suitable for that waterlogged land.

Professionally, I advise people not to purchase waterlogged land no matter how cheap because the works that would need to be done in terms of sandfilling, retaining wall, piling in order to SUCCESSFULLY erect a building on it may far outweigh the cost of the land and even the building to be built on it.

However, if you have already purchased the land, let a soil test be carried out first.

BTW - I'm a Quantity Surveyor, so I know this.

Well, like someone said above me, you need at least the floor plan/dimensions of the proposed bungalow to arrive at an estimate which will not be as accurate as you having structural details of the foundation which is obtainable from a structural engineer.

That's what the QS needs to determine the detailed breakdown.
