Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep91 - Wastewater and rainwater system costs
Q: Is a service only required for just rainwater collection, or would you require servicing for your wastewater systems?
The wastewater would be more important to get serviced every year and looked at.
Ep91 - Wastewater and rainwater system costs
Q: Will that still be valid, or is that timed out?
From my experience, I think you're going to have to get a new test done.
Ep90 - Mass timber and ICF: How they compare to traditional builds
Q: Why would I choose ICF over Timberframe?
ICF is faster to build and offers better air tightness, ultimately leading to energy savings; it's also a more streamlined process since it combines multiple systems into one.
Ep90 - Mass timber and ICF: How they compare to traditional builds
Q: How much does it cost compared to traditional block builds?
The cost varies, but ICF can be about 10% cheaper in materials and offers significant labor costs savings, making the overall build quicker and less expensive than traditional methods.
Ep87 - 2025 build costs in Ireland
Q: How much does a quantity surveyor cost?
They generally range from 700 to 1,000 euro for a bill of quantities, and about 2,000 to 3,000 euro for overseeing the building project.
