3003 square foot house done by self build started in 2003, moved in 2005.
Total Cost per square foot = € 133 broken down as follows
€ 18.39 per square foot = site development costs
50% spent before and during build = Includes costs for Architect, Engineer, Planning Fees, Legal Fees, Insurance Costs, ESB & Water connection and basic groundwork and site preparation (stone road in to site & basic levelling prior to raft foundation)
50% spent gradually after move in = lawn preparation, timber deck, large stone wall, automated gates, continuous kerbing, tobermore paving
€ 83.08 per square foot = build costs
Includes Raft Foundation, Block structure, Hollowcore, Roof Structure, Fascia & Gutters, Windows, Carpentry & Doors, Electrics, Plumbing, Showers, Plastering, Stairs, Gas Boiler with underfloor heating upstairs & downstairs, solar panels, integrated vacuum system, all insulation for the build, scaffold cost, painting costs, septic tank & percolation system
€ 21.49 per square foot = fixtures costs
Includes Fully fitted kitchen, fitted utility room, extensive tiling (bathroom fully, 2 en suite fully and small toilet fully) + extensive timber flooring (kitchen / dining + sitting room + large lounge + study + 4 bedrooms)
€ 10.28 per square foot = fittings
Includes Beds, Wardrobes, Lights, Blinds for every window (no curtains), Gas Fire, Light Fittings, Washing Machine & Dryer
I should point out that we moved in having spent half the € 18.39 development + all of the € 83.08 build costs plus a little bit of the fixtures costs i.e. the kitchen. At the 'move in' day we had spent almost exactly €100 per square foot (but there were other invoices pending !)the rest has been done (and spent) at our leisure and cash flow ability over a further 2 years. Also the house is a little unusual in terms of build and design which pushed costs up more than normal and many of the finishes e.g. fixtures and fittings were chosen at the higher end of cost / quality.
Overall my guess for a fairly standard house one could just about move into (i.e. kitchen in and a bed) would be minimum € 100 euro per square foot. Hope this helps !!
