    Have read throught this thread http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056701350. It may be useful.

    I would be suggesting you need to be budgeting E200k, as a starting point.

    Mod Note: I first moved your thread from the main forum into this, the appropriate sub-forum....then realised you had also posted the same query in here. No need for double posts. Thanks.

    As above, 200k is a good number imho.

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    OP, regardless of cost please consider something different to the design you have posted.
    In my opinion it looks atrocious but even from an objective perspective it has a poor perimeter to area ratio and lots of fussy unnecessary detail.
    Even if built to the best of standards it will be a poor house to live in.
    Those poxy "sun room" add ons at the gable end scream Celtic tiger slap up & all I've ever seen them used for is drying laundry.

    Leaving aside your personal taste, it would be easy to build that to B standards.

    Villeroy and bosch or armitage shanks sanitary ware ?
    Walnut or regancy six panel doors?
    Upvc or aluclad windows?
    Etc etc

    The above choices alone could swing the cost by 10% of build. You will be anywhere from 220 up in my opinion.
