It will vary to a massive degree from 700€ to unlimited kitchens are not normally included, best is a "Turn Key" solution but not many will do this. In my experience I feel that we was ripped off by hiring a so called project manager who spoke good English, he employed all his local artisan friends and we had no end of problems, there is still of things which I would have done better also I wanted certain things doing and was told that we couldn't do them to find out after completion that we could have had them after all We involved an Advocate which costs money 300€ an hour. Its a modem 110Msq bungalow high standard of windows/insulation built out of terracotta blocks, but the price did not include lights/ internal doors/sanitaryware/ multimedia wiring, not even a kitchen sink no painting but 10000Ltr underground rain collection tank. In our experience if we needed to rebuild again I would do it differently. I dont mean to put you off I guess we was just unlucky with our choice of Maitre d Oeuvre.
