27.5 metre square shed for just the block work and a single pitch tile roof. Im getting windows and door myself. No electric or skimming. Just floor , walls and roof and site is not level so bit of digging and getting rid of earth to factor in. . Im not sure so any info would be appreciated.
Thanks

Does not sound bad to me! You'd hardly get a Barna type shed at that size (pro rata) for the same price.

I certainly think so.

I'm assuming that's labour only?
The raft labour should be around €800
The block work should be around €1500
The roof €1000
Site dig out €1000 - €1500
+ vat on all prices @13.5%
It's not far out and if the quality of work is good then your getting a good deal

Ok
So let's work out the materials
Dig out ground €150
1 load of fill €150
Steel for raft €300
Concrete €700
Blocks €1800
Sand €500
Cement €200
Wall ties and fixings €100
Cavity closer €100
Roof timber €500
Slates €500

Total € 5000
And he is going to do all the labour for €1000

I can see a lot of head scratching half way through this project
I would get a itemised quote first or you could end up in trouble.

Im not sure mate but thats the quote I got. Its just floor and cavity block walls with a single pitch tile roof. Site dig out wont be more than a couple hours with a mini digger it wont be too extensive.

I just got a garage/shed built for €8k. It was 7.5 by 5.5 sqm. Cavity block, pitch roof. That included €2.5k for slates as I wanted these to match the house.

6k euro is a good price.8k euro got me an 18 x 19 x 10.5 foot block garage built recently.Pitched roof with nordman tiles,plastered externally,2 upvc windows,large electric roller garage door,2 padestrian doors,steel wired armoured cable with 5 double sockets and 2 lights,new fuseboard,hard wired alarm and the water/plumbing.
So 6000 euro is a good price.

Definitely a good time to be getting work done, sounds like great value on all fronts.

Is that 6k euro price a "cash" price or is it vat included?You can claim the vat back if your are fully paid up with Revenue on the LPT charges.Also your builder must be fully legit and vat/tax complient with Revenue.You will get the vat back from the Goverment and Revenue around 2 year after you send in the application form.

wouldnt surprise me , plenty of busy fools out there now. i wouldnt be expecting quality workmanship for that sort of money though.
