Find out the true cost before inviting builders to quote

The phrase Self-Build is often associated with the construction of a new house, when in fact the majority of Self-Builds are actually works to existing homes.

Many homeowners project manage, or even carry out the works themselves. Whether they need an estimate to compare with builders quotes, or quantify materials, or to raise finance, we can help.
