Well it's been a long time coming, but i can now finally start on site have priced the local machine drivers earlier in the year and again two weeks ago, there seems to be more of an availabilty and a willingness to negotiate on price got the driver and machine from €2,000 to €1,500. Will probably take three days to move front ditch, strip the site and dig the foundations will also get him to stone the temporary driveway. €50 an hour there or there abouts for a man and a machine!
I have also priced all the local concrete suppliers, blocks, sand, stone and mesh. Make sure to shop around as we are saving over €2k to this stage, by doing the work ourselves my father is a builder we are saving over €14k from a local builders quotes to bring the house and garage to finished floor level.
I have a budget in for €12k was priced at €26k by a local builder. The joys of going direct labour.
