FACT- Cost to build a house - $2800 and $4950 a square metre

Building a house in Brisbane usually costs between $2800 - $4950 a square metre, according to recent construction industry research.
That means building a build for this massive 640sqm house under roof, even starting at the lower end will cost $1.7M.

An outer Brisbane 300sqm block yes block, not house, on the lower end will cost $200,000. Here you get an entire 40 acres.
