We have previously examined substructure and related costs depending on ground conditions; we now move on to the external wall element.
For cost purposes, external walls refer to the structure of the main external envelope of the property. In most cases it’s the main structural element and also the area that’s most visible and, along with the roof and windows, lends character to the build. The cost of external walls can inevitably be traced back to three main headings, those been height, makeup and finish.
