build cost??

[kevgaa]

Hi Folks,

I'm following this forum over the last few weeks as we are bidding on a house that will need considerable work assuming we get it at the right price. ( South dublin for info)

So I'm just trying to do up figures a few things the basic assumption I'm going with from some threads I have read are

Retrofit 1500 a sq/metre

What quality of finish is that?

Would it include windows doors, new heating system and full rewire?

150 sq metres = 225k

New Extensions 3500 a sq metre

New single story kitchen extension and new bedroom over the garage? Looking at 40 sq metre kitchen and 20 sq metre bedroom with ensuite.
May look at doing the attic at this time as you will be in the roof.

210K

Then I assume we need to add other costs also like

Architect: I see quotes of 7%- 11% of build going by above 30K

Engineer: what we talking 10K

QS: Not a clue any ideas..



Ouch I hope my figures are way off as it seems madness but as I write this I'm looking at 500k before i'm finished. I think I may stay put as current house didnt cost that..



regards

kev.

Your retrofit cost looks low: €2500 per sqm inc VAT ex professional fees.
€10k for QS

Would also love to hear other people's thoughts

and new bedroom over the garage?

Only feasible if the foundations under the garage are sufficient for the additional load. Will likely require an engineer to investigate that one to be sure.
