4 bedroom house with 25m2
I'm sorry, is that 25, as in 2-5, as in twenty-five, square meters?
Yes my typo
There's an edit button for the post, did you want to edit it…?
Edit: Wait, I was expecting you to actually have meant 250m2. 25m2 is really small, what do you mean a 4-bed 25m2 house?
Maybe 25 squares?
@BensonP: You're not helping! What does that mean?!
Wait, like 25 meters by 25 meters? So like a 625 sq. m. house? That actually makes more sense…
Haha sorry my friend.
A square is an old imperial measure, still used today, when talking about house area (House only, not land). Quite common even though we use the metric system.
1 square in is equal to 100 square foot or approximately 9.3 square metres.
So if the OP wants a 25 square house, that's approximately 232 square metres of floor area.
Cheers
@BensonP: Thanks! Learn something new everyday. Never come across that before, even though I've come across rods and perches.
@tshow: Yes, except it's stlil:
- 4-bedroom granny flat, or
- 4-bedroom warehouse.
?!?!?!?!?! AND IT STILL HASN'T BEEN CLARIFIED! WHY AM I THE ONLY ONE QUESTIONING THIS? AM I GOING STARK RAVING MAD?!
@HighAndDry:
Maybe going grunge deconstructed warehouse look. Exposed steel beams, polished concrete floors, sandblasted brickwork and industrial chic kitchen.@tshow: Practical considerations like freezing to death in winter notwithstanding, that sounds like it could actually be an amazing space. A lot of flexibility and customization, lots of room for entertainment like a GIANT projector/screen and a full-size pool table, easy home maintenance (?).
@HighAndDry:
A vertical steel beam exposed to direct sun from a north facing sky light would provide excellent passive heating.Sky light should be shadable in summer.
Double glazing is a given.
It depends what sort of tiles, fittings, extras etc you add while planning for construction. But start with approx ~275k with basic plan and fittings etc.
Ok thank you
275k won't get you a 4 bedroom house. Maybe if it is already on a big block of vacant land, with all the amenities running right to the block.
OP if you are going to knock down and rebuild for a 4 bedder on an average block (maybe 500-700m) you are probably looking at 500k.
Little more than the cost of a car.

Send your cc details now and I'll explain how
That really depends where the house is. If it's in Toorak, you'll be looking at 7 figures. If you're in an estate in Truganina, you'd be looking at $300k.
Three fiddy
Well, at, say, $3000 per square metre, a 25 square metre house will cost you $75,000. Of course, 25 square metres is about the size of one standard room so it's going to be a pretty small house.
It largely depends on where you're starting from in terms of whether you already have a foundation, or if you're demolishing an existing house to build a new one. I think a safe estimation is about $2500/sqm2. So I would estimate a 4 bedroom house to have a floor size of 200-250 sqm2 so probably looking at about 500k+ prices will vary depending on whether you build over multiple levels or just one. I completely tore down the inside of my 4 bedroom house (that is, I redesigned the whole floor plan of my house using the existing house as a foundation) and even that cost me $125k, so when you have to build it from scratch you're looking at a lot more.
project builder cookie cutter house w/ standard fittings & no upgrades = <$1,500/m2
custom builder ? could be anything.
Completely depends on whether it's one off the shelf, on a clear flat block with good soil, with no architect/engineer required and cheap finishings / fixtures etc or a custom build with a high-end finish. Would probably be anywhere between $300,000-$700,000+
How long is a piece of string ?
25
Up or down?
Yes
get a pre-fab house - kit house
Volume builders will range from about 11k a sq to 15k depending on extra's and fittings etc. So an 11k a sq home will have 2.4m ceilings, no eaves, laminex bench top, very basic fittings etc
Costs do vary and it depends what customisations you want to your home.
