Pricing the build process: materials & Windows

It's probably a force of habit with me and because of my profession i am probably gone over the top with this aspect; have been preparing for this for a while and there is substancial savings to be made if you are prepared to put in the time and effort, but remember never sacrafice on quality over cost, (this will be your home) this is where a clear and concise scope will help.

On the link i have several pricing schedules which i sent out to local companies, for the concrete pricing i sent the schedule to healys, John A Woods, Roadstone (Subsidary), Readymix and a local supplier this gives you a great help in deciding, over cost and quality of each company.

For the windows i sent tenders to 14 different companies i know a bit drastic, but it was a clear scope and i had prices returning from €66k to €12k and many more in the middle, i will post on them again closer to the time.

I drew up a list for pricing by local builders providers "material List" i sent this to two local hardware stores and to two nationwide suppliers in the region this allows you to get value for money from both if you can and is an excercise well worth doing, make sure to ask them for a builders discount.

All pricing schedules can be found on the link below:-
