    Hey Fellow Construction Enthusiasts, I could do with some vital input .
    I find myself in a scenario where I have a 3 story building (estimate 160sqm) in need of a major renovation in the North west of Ireland.

    Intentions are to convert the building into a 4 bed 2 En suite 2 off suite Home, average finish, fully project mange the build myself Subcontract Etc.

    Starting with Inside
    • A complete strip out
    • Structural Tie rods to Tie the building together, I believe
    • Roof only 1 of 2 Upsides, it needs some strengthening with new timber 80% good repair
    • Complete wiring + storage heaters
    • Plumb the showers, sinks, sewers no central heating
    • Windows the other Upside, are brand new both front & back
    • Slab + plaster
    Outside
    • Guttering
    • 30 % plastering example around reveals + soft spots

    Important points Building is not Listed the ground floor is commercial so (Change of use planning) I have not had a survey done yet still I witnessed the work done on the previous neighbors same building however they are no longer around to seek advice.

    My questions are,
    1. How do I establish an estimate i.e. building cost per square meter?
    2. Where would you suggest I could keep costs down?

    Finally time isn’t entirely priority but within reason.

    Thank you for viewing.

    Quantity surveyor would be the only man qualified to tell you...

    We cannot see the condition in person and dont know are you kitting the place in oak and marble or Laminate and mdf

    Hello B-D-P
    Thank you for your reply, understood a moderate finish is what we would hope to achieve.
    Just to note, would the price fluctuate by much considering the project is on the west coast?
