Price Lock Guarantee
We lock your project price at design stage. No hidden costs. No surprises. Just honest, transparent pricing from day one.
Your price is locked at design sign-off — we absorb cost increases, not you.
Agreed scope means agreed price. Only client-requested changes affect the final cost.
Itemised quotations, open-book accounting, and a clear variation process if you change your mind.
Common Questions
What is your typical project value range?
Our projects typically range from £60,000 for a well-specified extension to over £2M for bespoke new builds and heritage conversions. We focus on quality-driven projects where craftsmanship and attention to detail are priorities. If your project is below £60,000, we're happy to recommend trusted colleagues who may be a better fit.
Do I need planning permission for my project?
It depends on the scope. Many rear extensions fall under permitted development rights, while new builds, heritage works and conversions almost always require planning. We manage the entire planning process — from pre-application advice through to discharge of conditions — and have a strong track record of approvals across Essex and the South East.
How do you manage costs and prevent overruns?
Transparency is central to how we work. Every project begins with a detailed specification and fixed-price quotation. We use a milestone-based payment schedule, provide monthly cost reports and flag any potential variations before they become commitments. Over the past five years, 94% of our projects have completed within 3% of the original quotation.
