Any idea of the cost per sqft (or square meter) to build your block house? I build wood-frame homes in the US for ~ $95/sqft. These are nice homes with decent finishes, proper insulation, etc but we benefit from low labor costs in my area.

No I've no idea and maybe it's much more expensive.

But they're not blocks by the way if you're thinking of large cement or cinder blocks - all the houses round here are made structurally from proper red bricks.

My wood framed house in New Zealand cost $200/sqft and we’re not talking high end. Blame our cost of shipping, labour and local building supplies monopoly.
