Dublin has the highest construction labor and material costs in Ireland. When reviewing quotes from building contractors, expect the following average prices:

• House Extension (Dublin): €2,400 – €3,200 per square metre (depending on specification). Flat-roof extensions utilizing EPDM or GRP are typically more cost-effective than pitched roofs.
• Full House Renovation: €1,800 – €2,500 per square metre. Involves structural strip-out, replastering, plumbing, and electrical upgrades.
• New Build Construction: €2,300 – €3,000 per square metre (excluding site costs).

Navigating Dublin’s local authorities and planning guidelines is essential for a compliant build.

• Dublin City Council (DCC) & County Councils: All local planning applications, site access permissions, and skip permits must be lodged with your respective local authority (DCC, DLR, South Dublin, or Fingal).
• Dublin Planning Guidelines: A standard extension under 40 square metres to the rear of your home is planning-exempt, provided you maintain at least 25 square metres of private open garden space and do not exceed the height of the existing roof line.
• Skip Hire & Road Closures: If your builder requires placing skips on public roads or closing streets in central Dublin, they must hold a valid skip license issued by DCC.
