Hi Duncan,

Question from someone looking to buy a house in the not too distant future.....what is the current rule of thumb as to the cost of building a house?... so that I have a rough idea if I am looking at something it is below replacement costs.

thanks in advance
If you were in Christchurch you’d be looking at around $1,500 a square meter for an average speced house.
