house building
Please help- Building work/ construction of a house?
I’d like to know the difference in cost between buying a newly-built house, and building your own to the same specification (I’m in the UK but US answers are still very welcome!).
Let’s say a house has just been built of brick (sorry I’m not clued-up on building terms!), standard design, four beds, bathroom and kitchen etc etc- a standard, detached property. Let’s say it’s on the market for half a million.
Now how much would it cost for me to build exactly the same house (including materials and labour)? NOT including land, planning permission or connection to amenties (such as mains water/ electric/gas) The actual bricks and mortar, and the man power, is what I’m interested in. Any ideas? Thanks!
PS, who’re the best people to approach about house building in the UK? Are my local builders the right people or do I need a larger company with national roots?
Thanks!
it will cost about £5000per metre sqm
