Building new houses / flats- Ball park sq ft cost ??

[Chri5]

Has anyone any links or ideas where I can research building cost?

I've heard tell that building a house, detached is in the region of £80-£100 sq ft. High end luxury at £120 sq ft.

This varies from area to area and to a degree on the final fit out.

I have an oppertunity to buy a house in disrepair and then either pull it down and rebuild or refurbish. The site has potential for a 6 flat block and I'm trying to get my head round a ball park figure for the build.

On the assumption that plaining was agreed and the site clear and levelled how much would be a ball park figure?

Is there any guides on the subject that would help or link that anyone might have?

On the basis of 6 x 600 sq ft flats with 450 sq ft of common area I'd have a sq ft build of 4050 sq ft.

Would a budget of £120 sq ft for quality finished (decent standard bath, en suite and kitchen) seem about right? Property location is North London suburbs.

Thanks for any help / advise received.

In the absence of any posts back, has anyone here had a recent plot and build project?

And if so, what was the cost in sq ft and what type of build did you do?

Spons 2005 price is £730-890/m2 which is about £70-80/ft

Newbuild costs were around £100/sqf for most of last year and the beginning of this. Rate now is about £110 - if I were you I would work on £120.

Rates of course depend on ground conditions and any special fixtures and fittings.
