Quote for insulation, drylining and slabbing

lfcjfc

Got a quote for €8500 to do the following in a 2800sq ft dormer new build;

All labour only:
Dry line inside of external walls with thermoboard - upstairs and down
Fit Rafterloc to roof pitch
Thermoboard over rafters
Slab ceiling upstairs and downstairs
Bridging of internal walls to ceilings as required.

The guy came recommended through another tradesman so probably a decent quote but probably a bit more than I expected (not that I'm an expert!).

He reckons, its about 2 weeks work for 5 men.

Does this look to be in roughly the right ballpark?

Mine is €10000 for labour on 2150 bungalow , one room vaulted , tape and scrim etc supplied.
I supply slabs.
dry line external walls with insulated board
dryline internal walls
ceilings insulated board under joists , rigid between etc

I was a bit shocked too

Thanks Bakerbhoy - sounds like my quote is in the right ballpark - maybe even a good price.
I dont know what I was expecting at the outset but I'm shocked at this stage with my insulation materials and labour bill probably going to come in around the 20-25k mark - keep telling myself it will pay itself off!

I'm a builder and recently dry lined a 3200 sq. ft house with Kingspan backed plasterboard on all external walls and around door/window jambs. Included in the price was 'Tri-sor' insulation on 2"x1" battens.
Quote including materials was €6,500. Job completed. Made a profit.
I don't know what part of the country you guys are in but it must be close to Dublin.

Where was the Tri-Iso put Builder - on the walls as well?

Hi Builderfromhell

Can I ask how many men and how long did it take to do the drylining part of the job?
