Self Build Timber Frame Costs

The frequently asked question, ‘What is the cost to build a house?’ poses a complex challenge. Determining an accurate figure requires a deep dive into the specifics of your project, including the location, plot details, desired specifications, and your project management approach.

Despite the variables, we can offer you a general cost framework based on a price per square meter, providing a starting point for your budget considerations.

For Self-Build enthusiasts taking the reins and hiring individual trades directly, costs typically range from £1,500 to £1,800 per square meter.

If you choose to engage a main contractor to oversee your project, you can anticipate costs to rise, falling between £1,900 and £2,500 per square meter.

It’s important to note that these estimates exclude the price of the plot and any landscaping work.

Remember, these are ballpark figures; the spectrum of self-build costs is broad, with some achieving costs below £1,000 per square meter and others surpassing £2,500 per square meter.
