Construction cost calculator
Estimate the build cost of an Irish project in seconds - pick a build type, enter the floor area or unit count, and get a quantity-surveyor style ballpark at typical all-in rates per square metre. Useful for early feasibility on houses, apartment schemes, commercial and industrial builds, and extensions. Real tender prices move with location, specification and site conditions, so treat the figure as a starting point.
Indicative only. Rates and thresholds change over time and vary by location and scheme - verify figures with the relevant authority (Revenue, the local planning authority, a quantity surveyor) before relying on them.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to build a house in Ireland?
As a ballpark, new-build houses price around EUR 2,400 per square metre, so a typical 150 m2 house is in the region of EUR 360,000 for the build alone. That excludes the site, professional fees, development contributions, utility connections and VAT, and real tender prices vary with location and specification.
What does this construction cost calculator include?
It multiplies your floor area (or unit count at a typical unit size) by a commonly-quoted all-in construction rate per square metre for the build type. It excludes site purchase, design and professional fees, development levies, utility connections and VAT.
