I need 10 new windows, front door and sliding doors for kitchen
Reinsulate
Rewire
Replumb Including getting rid of old gunmetal
system
New en suite and family bathroom
New kitchen
Knock 6 rooms into 4- knocking/plastering etc

Does this sound realistic for 110k. I’m looking for a good quality spec. Mid to high end

That sounds like enough money, not in construction myself though

Agree, to get an accurate price or get 3 builders to quote.

If your going high spec and by that I mean no cheap toilets, showers, cookers, putting in wooden floors, quality German built kitchen with top electrics like neff, Siemens etc.
I'd guess the kitchen about 25k
Plumbing 5k, new boiler, hot water tank, booster pump, smart controls.
Steel etc if any of the walls are supporting, 3k a room that includes new wood floors.
10k for the 2 bathrooms, that's grohe showers and Villeroy & Boch toilet etc.
electrics 3k
If you've got height I'd put in drop ceilings in the new rooms. It's not that expensive and you'll end up with dead straight lines and perfect plaster no cracks.
I dunno about the new windows and doors and depending on how mad you go with the insulation could be 10k plus windows and doors.

I'd be hoping to come in around 50/80k, shop around for your cookers, floors, showers etc you can save a lot there.

I've done a lot of this to my own house after buying including converting the attic. Haven't swapped windows as there fine.

Am trying to do 3 bathrooms with about 10k (new build).

I got 3 Grohe showers, 3 Villeroy and Boch toilets (off the floor), 3 toilet seats, 3 wall frames (geberit), and wall fixings for e2,700. This included 23% VAT (13% if you can get builder to order for you) and e150 delivery (as it came in a pallet from Germany).

I have 2 linear shower trays and tanking kits (from wetroom online) e1k. Its the walk in look am going for.

Downstairs, I only need a drain (that was e120).

Vanity units to be ordered yet. Estimate e1k for 3 (includes sink and taps/waste).

That is nearly 5k.

Then the rest will go on 2 shower enclosures (have to look into this yet) and tiling. Of which I will tile the floor, the shower wall, and around the sink. The rest to be painted.

That's not a bad price for good kit, I picked up a grohe rain shower on Amazon warehouse last night for €450 a 310mm, bought a no name one 3yrs ago and it packed in a good while ago, only changing it now.
Tiling cost me €16 a square yard for the walls and €15 for the floors mosaic was €50 for 2 square yards.
If your doing a new house stick an insinkerator in the kitchen, no smelly bins ever. Pretty cheap on Amazon, no need for a grease trap builder made us install one but we took it out. Going trouble free 5yrs. Lost the first one after a few months when a big nail went down there.

Muahahaha

drunkmonkey can those insinkerators handle coffee grinds and tea bags or only food products? Seems a great idea, I've a small compost bin for food waste but the seals on it are useless so it smells if you don't empty and clean every day

drunkmonkey

Don't drink either but I'd say so, coffee definitely as the mrs throws it down I'd say the same for tea bags...it's well able for steak bones, full chicken etc...only thing it doesn't like is any kind of metal. Ours is going now about 5yrs. 2 of my aunt's must have one about 20yrs each there who convinced me to put it in. I can't stand the smell of rubbish in the house. We've an inbuilt paper/plastic bin everything else goes in the insinkerator. This is the one we have https://www.amazon.co.uk/InSinkErator-75275-Stainless-Evolution-Disposer/dp/B004NOY3BQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?crid=1HOD014U6WYGX&keywords=insinkerator+evolution+200&qid=1556468460&s=gateway&sprefix=insinkerator+ev&sr=8-2
My sister put the same one in her new build.

Muahahaha

thanks drunkmonkey, I had never heard of them till you posted and now finally realise there is a solution to this problem, I'm sold!

Check your LA rules regarding under sink macerators, they're banned in Dublin (at least in commercial settings) due to the extra loads they place on waste treatment plants and the volume of treated water they use. If you have on-site treatment, make sure you don't overwhelm it.
