3800 sq ft!!! Yikes.........what's the ballpark build cost on that
Answer – how long is a piece of string??!!
It’s just getting longer & longer with each decision!
Started off with a budget of €340,000 but there isn’t a hope we’ll build it for that! I’ve read so many times that sticking to your budget is vital! In our case the budget is gone completely out our expensive sash windows!
We seem to keep adding on things as we go along too – e.g. precast concrete floor, garage (this is on top of the 3,800 sg.ft), granite sills, central vacuum system, aga………..it goes on and on……!! Budget for windows started at €15,000 – now costing € 33,000, stairs €8,000 – now costing €29,000!! Was planning to insulate by drylining internally – now filling the cavity with polypearl as well!
It’s just a bottomless pit – and that’s before we even start on the inside!
Who knows what the final figure will be!!
Hi davidoco - seems to be an awful lot of hassel in order to make use out of solar panels that aren't quite convincing in the first place!
Thanks for that link - it maybe the right way to go - solar panels preheating water for the combi - must just do a bit of translating into dodo language first!!
