Price To Build - Independent, Objective, Accurate & Reliable Analysis of all your building costs

Testimonial history

Aisling & Brian are currently building their first home together, they had heard from various sources how much per square foot it should cost to build, but they wanted to be sure as the figures that they were told were generalised. They contacted us in order to have an exact amount for various reasons, i.e. to avoid over-runs, ensure that they were getting good value for money and to present to the bank as support for a mortgage application.
Brian, who is a Cabinet maker by trade, felt that the level of detail provided in both the Bill of Quantities & Tender documents would also be invaluable to him in sourcing materials & direct labour, thus allowing him to manage the building project's progress.

Aisling & Brian's Comment's
"We contacted “Price to Build” as we were beginning a self-build and we needed some guidance in relation to costings and tenders".
"We had a series of meetings with Anthony where we discussed our visions for our house. Anthony came back to us with draft costings, which was a great advantage to see (in advance) where our money would be spent and more importantly where savings could be made".
"We were then able to alter areas to avoid over-runs and Price to Build provided us with great advice".
"The next time we met Anthony had the complete costings and tender documents ready for us, in impressive, well -presented documents".
"Price to Build had went into minute detail, and shone light on areas we would never even have thought of ourselves, as this was our first experience with building a house".
"These costings also helped us in our mortgage application. We would recommend Price to Build for anyone who would like an independent, detailed and informative price before building their house".

Testimonial history
Robert & Michele had sought quotes from three different Builders regarding their selfbuild in Wexford, the first came in at €218,000 the second came in at €234,000 and the third builder didn’t bother to bid. Robert and Michele felt confused and frustrated by the whole process as the Builders were slow to return with tenders and very sparse with the detail.

Robert & Michele's comments:
“Price to Build were very efficient in everything they did, we spoke for several hours over a series of meetings regarding our plans, what we wanted and how we visualise it when finished, they listened to everything we said and explained things in plain english to us”.
“They came back with complete and thorough costs for everything we wanted, provided us with tender packages, organised the tendering process, dealt with the builders and came back with two final tenders for us to choose from”.
“The whole process took 6 weeks from start to finish, with no hassle or headaches”.

“We also used their documents as part of a successful mortgage application from AIB”.

“We would highly recommend them to any-one who is looking to build anything”.

Testimonial history

Gerry & Marion contacted Price to Build because they wanted an independent review of the costs that would be involved in their proposed extension and renovation to their current home.
Gerry and Marion had worked had and saved their money in order to pay for their dream home and avoid having to extend out their mortgage.
They had had several quotes from different builders, all of which were very different from each other, leaving them feeling uncertain about being able to complete the extension & renovations without getting a loan.
We analysed their plans, defined all their costs, providing them with draft costs which allowed them to make changes in order to avoid over-runs, then put their vision out to tender.

Marion’s comments;

"I would like to take this opportunity to express our thanks to you for the very professional and at the same time personal service which your Company provided for us".

"We would like to compliment you on your attention to detail when discussing our building project with us. Our experience with you has given us the confidence we needed to manage our building plans".

"We would be happy to recommend your Company to anyone thinking of building a new home or extending their home."

Dave contacted Price to Build because he wanted an independent view regarding the costs that would be involved in the proposed extension and renovation his current home. He had had several quotes from different builders, all of which were very different from each other. These left Dave confused regarding what he they were offering or indeed if their quotes would be the final price he would end up paying.
Dave felt an unbiased cost analysis would allow him to assess whether he should invest in his current home or seek to sell it and use the money from both its the sale and the investment into an extension/renovation to purchase a new home.

Dave’s comments;

“Over the course of two weeks Anthony came and listened to everything that I wanted, he gave me draft costs allowing me to look at the total mortgage I would have needed to seek. He then showed me areas where I could save money by subtly altering certain areas”.
“Most importantly, the integrity of the whole process was impressive, every penny of the cost to do the work was clearly shown, where no aspect was left in doubt”.
“If I had accepted the bids from some of the builders I spoke to, I would have been committed and forced to spend a lot more money than I would have liked”.

Testimonial History

Elaine contacted Price to Build after being quoted circa €180,000 to build (to Builders finish) her home. Elaine had concerns regarding the bid due to the lack of detail within the tender, she also felt that this left her exposed to “extra’s” and “overruns” as the Builder would not give commitments to this being the final cost.

Working together with Elaine resulted in us reaching a fixed price of circa €164,000.

Elaine’s comments

"I was provided with detailed quantities of the best materials and their costs along with current tradesmen rates. Anthony successfully negotiated with tradesmen and building contractors on my behalf. Price 2 Build provided an effective and efficient professional service throughout my build. I recommend them to everybody who is intending on taking on a building project. Price to Build enabled me to build my home at the best possible price."
