Hey guys
Don't know if this thread is still alive or not
I built a house in Athy last year with the M2 system and can highly recommend it. I am an engineer so had a good idea what I was doing. I may be the engineer that craggel met as I had a lot of interested visitors to site. I did not buy the spraying pump I hired it from a guy at reasonable rates. Also if anyone is thinking about this system I know a crew of guys who are experienced ( built circa 5 houses in this system ) and can put you in touch.

Re the eco slates I can tell you that I live 1/2 mile from the factory and I gave them serious consideration. I did not use them in the end because of the high price and also the 50 year guarantee is worthless because this company can go pop at any time and leave you with no comeback. They are not a large international brand that you can deopend on still being around in 20-50 years or even 2 years now that we have a big slow down in building.
best of luck to all of you, I am living happily ever etc. in my extremely warm M2 house

Hi Badge55, just wondering, if it's not too much to ask, what were your approx building costs per square foot for the M2? We're looking at that system as well, building jut outside Port Laois.
Thanks.
Badge55,
Which panel (and u-value) did you opt for?

Difficult question for me to answer in any helpful fashion. My house is not typical. It is 3 storey in part and has a curved entrance area which was difficult and expensive to build. Also the roof was not straightforward.
My build costs excluding landscaping and geothermal heat pump were circa € 140 per sq foot. However I believe on a more straightforward build it could be done a little cheaper. Note that I did it by direct labour and minimised costs that way - I was lucky to be able to dedicate a lot of my own time to it.
If you are interested I would be happy to meet you at my place and talk more - in Portlaoise you are only 20 mins away. email badge5555@yahoo.co.uk if you like.

gally,
i have ecostar slates on my new build, midnight grey, look fantastic, everyone comments on the expensive looking slates on the house. there have been a few hairy nights down here with wind but there incredibly strong, and are still on the roof. they don't work out that much dearer than your tegral or capco. I'm very happy with them!
