    We got planning after 10 years!!! Long story but An Bord Pleannana eventually came back this week granting permission. Budgets have now changed so we are considering direct labour - or is their such a thing where a builder instead of finishing a house to turn key will bring it to an empty shell iykwim.

    Site being services at moment so going to put plans out to tender. Is their a price per square ft out there? (Cork area) I know it's like the 'how long is a piece of string' but if anyone had a rough idea so we would know whether we could afford a builder to do 'the lot'. Any recommendations for builders would be great as well

    Thanks for any help you can give me

    Price depends on the size of the house.

    A shell would be plastered, but not 2nd fix carpentry/bathrooms?

    Thanks for the fast reply.

    The house is 2347 square feet but we are hoping to add a sunroom to that. We wouldn't necessarily need it plastered. Our budget has dropped as we obviously won't get as much for our own house when/if we sell it so I wanted to look at direct-labour. DH isn't keen even though he is in the trade, so we were thinking of a compromise of having a builder do the groundwork, foundations, roof and finish up ourselves from plastering, plumbing, electrics etc.

    If I thought I could get a builder to do it all for our budget it would be our prefered way to go
