cost per square metre, one storey extn

lazyg

Hi,

This is a kind of 'how long is a piece of string' question, but I am just looking for an indication.

I have looked at a house which needs extending. I would not want to submit planning, so would extend by the permitted 40m square- this would just be one room on the ground floor. This would contain a kitchen diner, but I will factor in the cost of the kitchen seperately, it's the bare extn I am looking at.

I am trying to work out if I could afford this, so would like some indication of a cost for this.

The house is in Dublin and like I say, I would be looking at a fairly simple one-roomed extn.

Thanks a million!

I wouldnt be up to speed on Dublin prices but I would imagine that you are probably looking at around €1000/m2 and you would probably have to fit out your kitchen on top of that.

Going the direct labour route would save up to 15% approx and you would save more if you had some friends and relations who could help out.

Some of the other guys who post here regularly will be able to give you a more accurate figure.

100-150 euro basic builders spec, then maybe 200-250 euro for a more stylish spec.

all prices per square foot.
