Hi guys,

First time post here so please forgive any ignorance on my part. Here's my question:

I'm thinking about buying a plot of land in the Estoril/Cascais area or immediately surrounding areas if it's cheaper and having a 3 bedroomed house built on it.

Can somebody please give me an idea as to:

a) the cost per square metre for the build (to a high quality with kitchen, appliances, bathroom etc etc. in that area and.....

b) Perhaps a really stupid question but if I want to build a 2 storey home, do I need to double the cost i.e. calculate the cost for the downstairs (per square metre) and then do the same again for the first floor?

c) How I would best find a "project manager" to oversee the work of the builders.

d) How long might it take to construct a home?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
