Step 1
GET IN TOUCH
GET YOUR GRAND DESIGN UNDERWAY
Most clients will get in touch once they have architect drawings ready to share however, we are happy to work closely with our customers from the very beginning of a project so if you’d like our input, we can help to formulate the initial design, navigate planning and recommend architects that we have worked with for many years.
Step 2
QUOTE
Once you share your drawings and plans we require four weeks to scope out the project and supply a quote. Our quotes are priced so that we can do the highest standard of work without any extras being charged, whilst also providing a superior service compared to any other local builder.
This approach differs to most other builders in Portsmouth as we like to give the cost of doing the most complete job in the initial quote, and then work backwards from there if we need to reduce the cost to work with your budget. We believe this to be more transparent pricing than presenting a cheap quote to win the job that does not encompass everything you need.
Step 3
START DATE
It is typical for our existing projects to be scheduled in for the next six months so any new projects will be pencilled in to start after those. Communication with our clients is key so will we keep you fully informed of any movement to the calendar and when we anticipate your work to begin.
We also add value to our service by offering an interior designer to all projects who will be in touch prior to any building work being undertaken to help you start thinking about the space you’d like to create.
To give an idea of project timescales, starting from day one on site a loft conversion will typically take six to eight weeks to complete depending on the size of the job and an extension eight to ten weeks.
In regards to a payment schedule, we have found the simplest way is to invoice weekly, this means you won’t be lumped with a big bill at the end, or have to front the money straight away!
Changes to the scope of work are sometimes inevitable no matter how thorough the initial brief, if and when additions crop up we will always supply a quote for approval before proceeding with the work.
We fully appreciate that building work can be disruptive to your day to day lives. We pride ourselves on keeping a tidy site to minimise the disruption to your home, protecting your furniture and carpets, and keeping mess to a minimum.
