Bringing a builder down from Buncrana to Kilkenny for this job?
Surely a local builder could have priced it better?
But then you see the QS is also from Buncrana, so there must be a few favors going in here.
No way it was done for that budget paying everyone fair and square.
Looking to increase the budget again, insufferable git.
Any grants for the squeezed middle to go towards a bit of an extension?
What heating system did they put in or do they bother with real world details like that anymore?
I cant wait to see what the final bill is ?
And who really cares about the roof ?? Zinc, Aluninium etc.
I worked with a lad who spent way extra on fancy slates...he still regrets the extra cost, as he says he never ever looks at up it now..
They did in theory , they gave Hugh Wallace bungalow bliss , sponsored by super homes..who now have Hugh doing ads for them.
meanwhile superhomes won't even contact half the people who get in touch with them for projects.
all funded by public purse
1 open fire I’d say by the time they’ve everything else paid for
Hey boy, we resanded our kitchen units ! Solid wood.
Probably the most relevant element for people to decide on and I don't think it's ever mentioned on this prog.
Dog!
Never mind that.
Solid wood kitchen more important.
And now it's finished.
You can hear the echo in the kitchen...I wonder how they are heating it ??
245 sq m to heat !
Doesn't seem to be a radiator in sight in any room and no fireplace either.
She had to cut the clothes budget as well!
Very little in the " walk in wardrobe"
No radiators and for the SEAI grants mentioned it would have to be heat pump
No final figure 😂😂
Final account not agreed.
Great house
lovely couple
good luck to them
The barter account might have to come in to play 😂
there was one closed off and full of logs.
they mentioned 25 grand seai grant, that is likely to have been for heat pump and insulation. no sign of solar anywhere that I saw . bit of a miss
Obsessed with every euro and they do not know the final figure...!!!!
Was there any mention of doors and windows?
Or did I miss it?
I imagine it was UFH?
She says they have no idea how much they spent but it is "definitely over" and they still have to get wardrobes etc fitted. I'd say they are looking at over €400k spent on a €200k original budget and still tens of thousands more to spend.
Then Dermot comes on and says "The budget was always tight but they did it". He is actually clueless about the budgets.
Unaccounted financial House? What was the final figure? All she said was “it was over budget”, so in other words 400k?
"The property must never have been used, or have been suitable for use, as a residential home."

They didn't get that €30k so.
In other words 800k.
Anyone can pull figures from their arse.
It could just be a few k over budget as well.
There was far more money spent there than what was admitted, bit of cute hoorism keeping everyone in the dark.
