    Is it true that the turnkey build cost for a standard type detached new house will be in the range of €200-€300 per square foot?
    That is, ‘turn the key and walk in’ - everything is done right down to landscaping.

    Could well be.

    Average cost psf for an unfurnished estate property is anywhere from e110 to e130 psf excluding vat and builders margin (profit). Also excluding site costs

    This is what I have seen at least, others may have different experiences

    No its not, but yes it could be.
    Site, if you have one or have to buy one makes a huge difference.
    Location if you're buying is a huge difference in the price also.
    My nephew, building on a site his father gave him at the minute, 2400 square foot house in rural co Cavan, builders price with the key in the door, 18000.
    Even if you allow that it might take 50000 to finish off the site, tarmac drive, it would be around 100 per sq ft.
    But that will be different depending on a lot of other things if you look for different finishes.

    I received 5 quotes in Sep last year for turnkey finish. 2050 sqft in Galway and all bar one were €135 per sqft or more. Due to be finished in June and looking like it will come in at €140 per sq ft. Thats everything bar painting and landscaping. Not including site. Nothing crazy spec wise either, maybe slightly above average.

    FourtunaMan, you mention it includes everything bar painting & landscaping.... does it include flooring, tiling, kitchen, bathroom ware etc?
