Absolutely untrue-Prices on all materials are falling as you'd expect with the current oil price slump, current economic slump and supply demand situation-i.e the demand is simply not there at the moment. The only building of note that is taking place is once off housing and slatted sheds -the latter will be finished at Christmas. Prices on timber may go up nesxt year but for the moment steel, concrete etc are in freefall. Im especially surprised with your comment on insulation. Prices on Kingspan, Xtratherm products are falling over the last 18 months (almost 20% down ion what I paid 2 years ago)

Most building products will have a price increase at the start of next yearNot in my area (Cork), I'm afraid. Thought concrete products would have come down buy no joy as yet anyway.
well i just got a letter in the door from roadstone and there prices are going up between 5 and 10 % in jan.Price of material is still high.We are putting in prices between 70 and 80 euro a sq ft inc vat for new builds for standard builders spec.You get what you pay for to a level.i find people wont pay for that bit extra service and better workmanship.
Agreed, people still think cheapest is best. Great news on roadstone, will be expecting my christmas card from John A's soon so
Baldyman, while I agree completely that cheapest is not the best I think it is slightly irresponsible to be looking at things from this angle, especially in the current climate.
about 80 euro a sqft building contractorHello,
I am going building a bungalow about 2000sqft on my own site and now that the building has slowed down could anyone tell me roughly what it is going to cost for a builder to do it.? It will be a plain enough bungalow not too much design. Would appreciate any comment. Thanks.
I'm aiming to complete a 2500 house for 130,000 but looks like I will run to 150,000 or a little more by the finish.
