Just looking for a rough cost.
Say if i had the land and its got permission on it?
4 bed with double garage?
Do these timber frames work out much cheaper?
Cheers

And the rest.
Totally depends on the finish you are after, the sheer size, whether planning will be easy/difficult to get......
Could cost anything from 100k to 500k.

I would estimate it costing close to £100k, plus you have the hassle of organsing lazy builders yourself etc.

I'd think you're all way underestimating the cost of building. I'm thinking 100k absolute minimum.
We've just designed a client a new 4 bed house which isn't anything special and he's got a budget of 250k.
It's got a bit of nice glazing in it is otherwise pretty modest.

3 Bed detached house, with double garage with a bedroom above it, cost a friend of mine £140,000. His budget was £200k.

Is this including land? etc
and is this a timber frame?

approx £1200 per square meter
plus services depending where the site is
will also require a building warrant if just planning so there will be more architect, engineer and council fees
This is all before you have the garden or driveway etc built
A complete figure out the top of my head i would say you are looking at minimum
4 bed house - £175k basic design and finishes
double garage - £18k
then on landscaping etc you could spend anything form £2k to £100k
I would budget a bare minimum of £200k tbh
things always cost more and take longer than you think
