We're thinking of extending our house, adding in a two storey extension - sunroom and utility downstairs with bedroom, ensuite and walk in wardrobe upstairs. So it'd be coming out approx 5m x 4.5m from our house. We also want to put a downstairs loo under the stairs and knock our hall and porch into one.
Has anyone an idea of how much that'd cost in Dublin? Obviously not exact science, but even a ballpark figure would be great - we're wondering would we be better to sell or extend. Thanks...
 
you should allow about €180 (hopefully less) a sqft to build that,
your extension of 4.5m x 5m=22.5m2 or 242sqft per floor or
484sqft in total and that comes out at 87K, now a load of factors
may change this cost ie roof type and construction, wall construction
etc so let this cost only be considered a very rough guide.
 
there is really only one way to find out. get quotes from builders. Also before you agree anything make sure you get a detailed written quote from the builder, NEVER pay the final amount before you are completly satisfied the work has been carried out as specified. Might be worthwhile getting your architect / draughtsman to oversee the main points of the build. A few euros extra spent would look after your interests.
 
another thing looking for your builder try [broken link removed] let meknow how you get on
 
Thanks for that, it's dearer than I thought, but looks like it still might be worth looking into. So we'll try the architect/builders now. I appreciate the advice...
