Brick tiles going on concrete panels today
What are you fixing them with and what us the cost of the tiles compared to a real brick, we have a job they would be good for

Fixing them with flexible tile adhesive that is purpose for exterior use and where the steel uprights are they are fixed with a grey mastic concrete panel sealant that again is flexible the brick slips have been cut from facing bricks we already had that were two sided so we got 2 from each brick we had to do it like this as the original opening of the shed was filled in with full bricks so they needed to match and the ones you can buy ready cut are not thick enough to go over the steel it cost 35p each to get them cut

Inspiring me to do something similar.

One thing I can guarantees is it will take longer and cost more than you first think

Built a 55m2 kitchen extension 10 years ago. Couldn't see how it could possibly cost £1,000 m2, but it did. That was new boiler, decent quality kitchen units, ufh, good quality job all round, etc. Building materials have gone up in price since then.
If I remember correctly, approximately 50 percent of cost was labour, 50 percent materials. And similar split for cost of walls and roof vs cost of interior. Invested in insulation.
When speaking to builders and QS's they tend to look at £1500 - 2000 per SQM as a ballpark cost.
Is that fully furnished (Kitchens / Bathrooms etc), and is that just brick - or for stone walls?
Off the shelf fixtures and fittings I would imagine, no UFH or white goods.

At the moment this has not cost a great deal considering how far we have come But have done the maximum amount we can our selves and we have all the equipment needed so hired nothing in , it’s just at the verge of tipping over 40 without our own labour
Did you cut them thinner then for over the steel ?
