    I would say no, not an absolute chance in hell.

    What stage are you at?

    Bear in mind the following costs :

    planning
    tender
    Building Control and supervision.
    Minimum room sizes are per building regulations and planning regulations can dictate the size of this 4 bed house.

    Im sorry but 80k would not build what you want in my humble opinion.

    Look at what 80k will buy...then realistically imagine what it would take to build a 4 bed new house.

    Maybe you need to re-consider selling your current property and keep saving.

    How much of the work can you do yourself ? How much would you have to spend on ,planning and engineers ,development levies - esb connection - sewerage system - water connection - professional fees ect.
    Even rent when you've sold your old place and are waiting for the new place to be live able -
    I'd say you mightn't have much change out of your 80k with the above and haven't laid a block yet!!

    If you contact a system house builder in your area ,they'll have a variety of house and bungalow plans and a pretty accurate costing for the build -(can depend on site and site works) , on to that you'd have to add your services...
    You can get really good value .. But don't expect miracles-

    Change from 80k ?

    It's not change you need - 80k is nowhere near enough. And by a long way. A 120 sq m 4- bed house would cost € 144k.

    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”

    That's what I said - he could spend most of the 80 k and not be above ground yet-

    Where are you building the house have you land?

    I know someone who is in the process of getting a log cabin for less than 80.
    Something like these.
    -snip- Obviously there will be other associated costs.

    I believe that he ordered direct from a Norwegian company

    If you can get planning for a log cabin then fine, but I cant see a log cabin meting the building regulations for a new dwelling.

    thats a sneaky caveat thrown in there - would you care to estimate what the final cost of the build will be ?
