an often quoted figure is £1000 per square metre. There is space for a lot of variation though.

Lots of variation up I suppose? Just contemplating doing something round my way.
Oh, is that £1000 per M of ground space, or flooring? Ie 1 story or two

Any idea how much it would vary for a new build after the foundations are done? Or basically the same?

similar probably, with extras for laying in the new services, central heating etc, bathroom and kitchen. With a name like DIYsi you should just get a bare shell and a caravan, do the rest yourself!

I would be willing to have a go, but the wife wouldn't! If anything does happen, I'd probably be on site most days working, and I know a few sparky's, so a fair bit would be done by me/them. Actually, I know a plasterer or two as well. Mmmmm, costs should plumit down at this rate!

Si, my place is a flatpack from TekHaus - built by Kingspan.

It was designed in Germany, assembled onsite in 4 days for the main structure, and then finished.

The cost was about £600/sq metre in 2004.

Have a look at:

I would guess that land prices would be an issue today though
