    Hi there, I'm hoping to begin my self build soon and I was wondering if there is any website out there that indicates the prices of building materials. For instance I'd like to compare Trutone slates versus Natural slate. Granite sill versus normal precast. Things like that. I have come across lots of good sites advertising all sorts of things but none indicate prices. It would be a huge help for budgeting ahead of schedule

    Maybe you would be better off getting a quantity surveyor to give you a bill of materials based off your plans, it should give a detailed estimation of what you need and its cost.

    Building suppliers are pretty behind the times with there websites, not hard see why considering the average customer is just going to ring them for information.
