Hi selfbuildwx,
I have recently built a 3300sq ft dormer, timber frame house. I haven't the total breakdown as of yet, but to give you a general idea here it goes. I have managed to get within my 200k budget with some furnishings.
Solictors - 2900
Co. Council - 2000
ESB Network - 1644
Windows - 10000
Treatment plant - 3540
Well Drilling & Pumps - 2600
Kitchen - 7000
Builder total - 140000
Plumbing - 15000
Architect Tech - 2000 (BER Cert incl)
Spent extras on Insulation etc.
Its a basic breakdown, haven't the full breakdown here with me, have it at home on my laptop. But the house is insulation far better than todays regs, plumbing includes oil burner, back boiler stove, emersion, Solar panels, all rads, and bathroom suites. Also spent extra on putting footpaths around the house, and hiring JCB for a week or so on the external ground work. Thankfully I was given a site, so was able to get 100% mortgage. Started work in April, moved in last week, before the snow arrived. Obviously as i've mentioned its a basic breakdown.
ONQ,
Just to answer some of your questions, best I can.
Firstly I make the above prices out at €186,684.00.....
€2,000 would be very light for a comprehensive service, percolation test and certification.Architect drew up the design and submitting to council, did the percolation testing, signed off on the different stages and is going the BER cert, it might be abit more than 2000, as its not really coming out of the 200k mortgage, its coming from savings.
Hardcore might be easier to negotiate in the snow and ice, but its nasty stuff to fall on.The site itself is 0.75 acre on a flat land, doesn't require much work, driveway or entrance, fair enough is not done yet, the drive at the moment is just hardcore, for now we plan to get some pebble filling.
Sounds a good price if it included the electrics - did he supply a qualified sparks for that price?Now on to the tech bit. Electrics, Lighting, standard insulation came within the builders price.
This gives 0.15 or so it seems to say here.Spent an extra few grand on upping the grade of insulation. 100mm xtraterm in the floor.
Are you saying this isn't from a timber frame supplier?Its a timber framed house, the builder is a carpenter by trade, so he done all that, he then contracted out the other trades...
I'd be interested to learn more about this - I have had poor experience in a fire emergency with blown fill insulation in a fire situation in an attic.Anyway there is 100mm of spray on insulation (recyled newspaper, can't think of the right name),
25 mm board usually used around opes on block builds.then there is 1inch insulated plaster board, this on all external walls.
Does this insulation follow the line of the roof as per TGD F?Internal walls we used 100mm xtraterm sound and heat insulator. In the roof there is 140mm glass fibre glass, with again 1inch insulated plaster board.
Still a good price though.Some prices included VAT, some prices were Cash dealsCash is king. We could have saved alot more. I said earlier it was a dormer, however its more a bungalow than anything, just with the attic converted. Might as well do the converting at this stage, rather than down the line, when we won't have the money. We spent extras on tiles, flooring and stoves....
100% agree but not too surprised.€2,000 would be very light for a comprehensive service, percolation test and certification.

And some would have you believe it cant be done.....
