Building costs you can only get from a quote, to say High quality is not enough. I guess could be that you will end up around 1.500 Euros/m2 (including taxes) if you keep a quality higher than avarage (what ever that is?)
This Square meter price should be based on total construction area (which include first floor)
The key here is: Take in 3 or more quotes from builders that have good references and compare (Do not go on a hunt for a cheap deal from any builder, than you ask for problem and will probably end up paying much more to fix everything after).
To get a good project manager you have to relay on recommendations, if you do not know anyone personal (check with people you know in the area and see if they can recommend someone?)
How long time? 9 - 12 Months is normal time if it is traditional construction, can be a bit shorter or longer time as well. Steel houses they can make in 4 - 5 months.
Good luck

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.
