You would be crazy to consider building this time with the amount of new and second hand houses on the market. I would also consider hold off for a while until prices drop further.

well if your doing it yourself,and i'm speaking as a qualified chippie, you'd defiantly want to think about getting in a project manager to help you over see everything cost and labour etc, and if you need a name, i know a fella from new market on fergus, just down the road from you, you can talk to him

It varies hugely depending on how much of the work you can do yourself, standard of finish, heating systems etc

Can I recommend your attention to The construction and planning forum. They have all the details and they are helpful if you have any questions to ask
