Hi Irish Paddy,
We are waiting for people to come back to us with prices as we are building asap and we live in the west so I will let you know a soon as we do.:)
 
Paddy,

Do you have an architect?
If so he should be able to recommend based on his bill of quantities/ tender document what each individual part of the build will cost

RE: should you project manage your own build or hire a contractor. what are the savings.
Hire someone to project manage the build. they should source and save thus paying their own way easily.

keep me posted and best of luck
