Ballpark estimate: Builder's finish to full finish

Richards1983

Hi all -- 

Buying a house and would be delighted if you could help me to ballpark the cost of bringing it from builder's finish to final (135 sq metres / 1,460 sq. ft.). House is in Clare:

I'll need to do the following:

- paint all walls and ceilings (can do myself)
- buy all tiles for WC's, kitchen & utility
- floor downstairs (80 m2)
- furniture
- curtains for 6 windows
- blinds for 6 velux
- 1x bath, 2x shower trays & doors
- carpet for stairs
- I'll need tradesmen for all bar the painting

I appreciate that you can go as high as you like. I just want it to be decent - not cheap, not top of the line.

Any assistance with some rough numbers would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks,
Con

Hi guys - 

Just wondering if I could please get some ballpark figures for the following -- to finish a house to a medium standard:
- buy tiles for 3x WC's, kitchen & utility + workmanship
- flooring downstairs (80 m2)
- carpet for stairs

Thanks,
Con

1. Allow €50/m2 for supply, €25/m2 to tile (labour)
2. As above
3. allow €35/m2

Super -- thanks a million, Tefral.

Actually, just a clarification -- do you mean per m2 of tiled space, or per m2 of floor space?

Each bathroom is 6m2 of floor space (total 18m2), but then I suppose there's approximately as much again in wall space that would/could be tiled (total 36m2).

Tiled space.
And measure through the windows etc as theres more work cutting for reveals and centering tiles for opes etc

For example, a 2m X 2m bathroom would be :

2x2 floor
2.2.4x4 walls

*obviously depending on each rooms layout etc

Depends on the price of your tiles and the size, youll be charged less for 600mm x 600mm tiles for labour.

You can buy tiles for 9/m2 or 300/m2 it all depends on what you want. I gave you a price for decent tiles above.

Got ya -- thanks a million. Very helpful indeed.

Having just gone through tile purchasing in the last few weeks.

Can get decent porcelain tiles in discount/wholesale places for under 20 euro a sq metre if you are watching your budget.

Great, thanks for that. Appreciated.
