Had a quote from a builder?
Understand what's  included before you commit.
A builder’s quote tells you the price, but it may not give you the full picture. Vague descriptions, exclusions and unclear allowances can make it difficult to understand exactly what’s covered.
​
I’ll review your quote and the supporting information you provide, drawing on years of hands-on building experience to highlight potential gaps, unclear descriptions of the work and costs that need further clarification.
​
You’ll receive clear, independent feedback and practical questions to put to your builder, helping you make a more informed decision before accepting the quote or paying a deposit.
What Your Quote Review Includes

Send me your builder’s quote, a brief description of the work you’re planning and any relevant drawings or specifications you already have. You can also highlight particular costs, wording or exclusions you’re unsure about.
​
This is a document-based review, tailored to your proposed work and the information available. Before you book, I’ll check what you’ve supplied, explain whether anything else is needed and confirm the scope and fee for your review.

Understanding Your Quote Review
This is a document-based review of your builder’s quote and the supporting information you provide. It focuses on how clearly the proposed work is described, apparent gaps or exclusions, and costs or allowances that need clarification.
Â
It does not include a site inspection, structural calculations or legal advice. Comments on costs are indicative guidance, not a fixed quotation or a guarantee of the final construction cost. The review cannot confirm details that are missing from the documents supplied. Where further information or specialist input is needed, I’ll highlight this in my feedback.
