ignoring the cost of a plot on which to build, what does the assembled

long is a piece of string but lets just talk about the material cost of

your average well specked 4 bed estate house. Block construction not
timber
framed and a footprint of about 40x35ft. Anyone done it recently? or

many thanks

Go for £75 a sq ft for a bare shell with basic fitings, and £100-£150 a
square foot for all fitted out to your state with garden and drive and
everything done the way YOU want it.

When working out the square ft are we talking the ground floor area i.e. the
footprint of the house.
