Hi, I'm just after getting back initial drawings from our architect for a bungalow and it is 3360 sq ft.
Our overall budget for the build is 400,000. This needs to get the house built and furnished and cover extras like council, garage etc. (about 50,000). We love the design and it has everything we want but I'm worried that i just wont be able to build it within budget. We are going for condenser oil boiler with underfloor heating in the living areas of the house and rads in beds. prob go for timber frame with block both inside and outside and better than regulation insulation. we will be fitting out the house in good quality stuff but not designer.... e.g. sanitory from BTW, 30€ per sq/yd tiles and wood floors rather than 60/80. Carpets/laminates in bedrooms. I've seen estimates for all sorts of values to build (from 80 to 130 sq/ft).
I'm resigned to making the house smaller to get within the budget(although would love to do it as is).Just wondering has anyone some experience of how much it actually costs to build including to furnish a house. This would help us greatly to know how much we need to cut out of the house. We will probably go the project manager route as we know a couple of guys who do this. Building in the south east
