This video shows the main stages of the “shell” (gros oeuvre) construction, and price-wise we have the following figures for this 100 m2 floor plan + 8 m2 terrace:

 

1 – excavation – 2 days and ~500 (euros) for the machine rental

2 – steel reinforcement ~500

3 – cementing the underground foundation: 2 trucks x 8 m3 ~1800

4 – above-ground foundation walls of grey blocks (French: “parpaings”) ~500

5 – floor foam thermal insulation RT2012 (for your future comfort and savings with A or B class efficiency) with prestressed reinforced concrete ribs ~4000

6 – cementing the floor: 2 trucks x 8 m3 ~1800

7 – sewage and other piping ~500 – Total for the slab: 9600 euros for materials and cement delivery Labor: the “rule of thumb” says it is somewhat equal to the cost of materials. However, the no-brainer cementing part (3600) required little intervention Walls: a 100 m house happens to require also 100 m2 of wall surface or approximately 800 red terracotta blocks 50 x 27 cm at 2.50 – 3.00 eur a piece (corner blocks are more expensive)

That’s 2500 euros in total, folks.

Roof: The carpentry (including the terrace tip) is prefabricated at about 4000 per total Tiles cost 3500 – 4000 unless you get them on a “special”

Windows: RT2012 types seem not to be available from castorama|bricodepot|what have you. Somebody please let me know if i am wrong. You’ll have to custom-order any standard size and pay 8000 (including electric shutters).

Again, use (with scrutiny) the rule of thumb for the labor.

Prices are with all taxes. Labor is insured with the 10-year French government-backed warranty. – Prices are for Ariege, however at nation-wide chains most of time. Let me know if something is missing or any questions [let's friend on facebook]
