To build a house is very expensive from my point of view. Also, you must be very patient because you will have to encounter a lot of problems. From my way of thinking, is better to buy an already built house. It's much cheaper and with no stress for you! I can give you a piece of advice on how to save some money. You can use the services of these guys https://deltadecking.co.uk. They will build your floor at a very cheap price and with the best materials. I hope that this will help you! I assure you that you won't be disappointed with them!

It would be far better to view your house in a showroom , place the order and get them to deliver it like in canada

And the quality! The faults in new builds around here by the big boys are downright criminal. He who pays the building inspector the most decides what actually gets inspected it seems
Grenfell Tower anyone?
I've come across more than 1 new build successfully rejected for a refund under the Sale of goods act as unfit to sell.

Does the cost vary much across the country?
Talking to someone in January who's built new in Kent and Pembrokeshire he told me Jewsons charged twice the price in Kent for some materials. When he complained they just said "get it from Pembrokeshire then".

build a 2 storey rather than a bungalow, you will need much smaller foundations and roof size for the same m2

yes, cost of material and labour differs wildly around the country.
building a house now costs a lot of money!
Forgot about this thread.
Ended up buying a house in the village, moved in about a month ago.

Cheapest of the lot is a story and a half
Builders were saying a house like mine would cost 30% more now than we did deal to build it for and the extra cost is mostly materials labour is about the same

What you save on foundation area gets eaten up by foundation & wall strength as you are putting higher loads on a smaller area.
