    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.
