Projects like yours, with the actual price tag.
Every estimate the calculator gives you is calibrated against real signed contracts. Here are six recent ones — type of work, location, programme weeks, final cost.
What’s in the number — and what isn’t.
The estimate is your all-in construction price: two figures reach you — construction (ex-VAT) and VAT. Overheads, profit and the ~10% contingency are baked into every rate, never bolted on.
Included in your fixed price
Not included (so no surprises)
Confidence comes from how we’re organised, not from what we promise.
Six things that change how a project runs. Honest about what costs extra, honest about what we’re not. If something here looks wrong for you, we’re probably not the right builder — that’s fine, we’ll say so on the call.
Live client dashboard
Every project gets a private dashboard. You see variations, open issues, payment schedule, daily photos from the foreman, and a weekly written report from the project manager. Decisions take minutes, not phone-tag.
Same teams, every job
We don't subcontract to whoever is cheapest that month. The carpenters, electricians and plasterers you meet on day one are the same ones who finish on day 84. We know how they work. They know how we work.
We work on reputation
About 70% of our work comes from referrals. We're careful about who we take on — we'd rather turn down a job than fit one in that we can't deliver properly. That works both ways: we expect the same care from our clients.
Real structure, not one-man-band
Director, PM, foreman, QS, H&S, accounts — proper company structure. We cost more per day than a sole trader. You save more overall because nothing gets done twice. Less wishful pricing. Fewer surprises.
Fully insured · IBG available
£5M public liability + contract works cover, on every project — included. Optional Insurance-Backed Guarantee via HomePro adds 10 years' workmanship cover on top, at +2.5% of contract value if you want it. Most clients with mortgage take it.
Where you can save
Self-supply your kitchen or windows — we'll fit, you pocket the margin. Phase the project over two financial years. Pick Balanced spec for the kitchen, Signature for the floors. We'll show you the levers and the trade-offs — you decide.
