breakdown of costs for building

we have recently gotten planning permission to build and just want to know apart from mortgage repayments, life assurance, home insurance, what else is needed?

To start of with:

Solicitors Fees - searches, land registry etc
Architect Fees - overseeing, plans, retention, BER cert etc
County Council contributions and retention fees if necessary
Valuation fee - for bank
Contingency - VERY imporant. Make sure you have one and stick to budget as much as possible. Source things yourself and liaise daily with your builder/architect/project manager.
ESB set up fees

Best of luck. Feel free to pm if you want any more info.

Dont forget Insurance in particular Public Liability.

We built a house in Kildare and had an Experienced Engineer
supervise stages and complete Certification. He also
gave great advice on heating and finishes.

Cost €2,400 . Money well spent.

Newbridge09 would you mind PMing the engineer details to me? Just getting started with a self build in the Kildare area.
