Gents,
It finally happened.
A developer has asked for a price for the entire house to be fitted in copper with press fitting......
Does anyone have a rough idea of how much it would cost compared to plastic? Part of me wants to say double but it could be more when factioring labourt and materials.
Any thoughts?
 
Eco web joists ?

How big is the house eg bedrooms ?

Would say 1.5x the plastic
