Schedule of materials with costing.

Summary
#

The final construction cost was around AUD$11,000. This figure does not include the spare materials I already had; or tools.

The costs can be broadly broken down into these categories:

This is a very unusual breakdown of costs, largely because so much was salvaged or bought second hand:

  • wall framing timber
  • foundation gravel
  • foundation bricks
  • formwork plywood
  • paint
  • roof tiles
  • floor tiles
  • window
  • door glass unit
  • door wool insulation

On the high cost of hempcrete (including delivery), stay tuned for my experiments with ricecrete.

Here is a list of almost everything I bought for the construction. Each has a link to the supplier as well.
