Interesting thread. Thats for a modern block and brick build. How about these prefab factory built things that they build in the factory and crane into place and bolt together in 2 weeks? much cheaper?
No cheaper. They rely on a quick build to save the builder his running costs (preliminaries).

Simon, were there enough photo's to give you an idea of sizing? If not I'll take some more room sized ones next week

Seem accurate ??

I was looking at this site as I'm planning a home build on a 1/2 acre plot in Yorkshire. Found a better page though which seems to take into account local variation in prices http://www.whatprice.co.uk/costs/house-building-co... I guess it all depends on how hard you bargain with the builders, but seems like a good place to start.

There are an awful lot of variables, but I'd suggest that the £560 per sq. m. shown on your link is quite a lot on the light side for a self-build.

I'd suggest a budget figure of £1000 per sq. m. is more realistic.
This for a self build, 850 for a developer build

For a one off, timber frame or pre built will be more expensive. As rsv says developers use them to save time when there are a number of similar units to be built
