Building and Construction Costs in France

January 12, 2008 by Tony · 2 Comments 

How much should a builder charge me? What is the right price for repairing the roof? Is 200 euro a square meter a fair price for tiling?

I get many questions like this and all I can usually suggest is to get two or more quotes from recommened people or consult “Batitel”.

Batitel is a reference site for the costs and prices of all building trades and materials in France (like Spons A and B in the UK), the only problem is that to get access to the recommended “rate for the job” you have to subscribe 90 euro a year for their service.

I am looking to see if there is a way for me to pay one fee and then be able to offer a single question service to you from my sites for a few pennies -  meanwhile you can check with their search engine (inFrench only) if the trade or building jobs you want to do some costing on are listed – use this search service here.

Please let me know if you think this service will be useful
