I am planning to build a new house in the next year or so I am having Plansdrawn up at the moment- probably 4/5 bed in rural location outside of Leinster and not close enough to any of the cities to pay really expensive building costs.
We have decided against building a timber frame house and are going down the Block route. ( although with more of an idea of the costs involved we might go for the styrofoam formwork that you fill with concrete).
Anyway the basic question is how much will the traditional block build cost??
I have heard a number of quotes lately e.g. from €90 to about €130 per sq. ft. depending on finish.
I was wondering if anyone else has built a house in recent years and what were the costs involved?
The house doesn't need to be finished "absolutely perfectly" before we move in i.e. If we have a good kitchen, bedroom living room and bathroom with a sound roof over our heads, we can do the rest of the rooms up as we go along.
Any help, ideas would be appreciated
