    What to Prepare Before Requesting a Quote

    Being prepared helps builders provide more accurate quotes and reduces back-and-forth later.

    Define your project scope

    Have a clear idea of what you want to achieve, even if details evolve. Knowing the basics helps builders provide accurate quotes.

    Set a realistic budget range

    Having a budget in mind (including a contingency of 10–15%) helps builders understand what's achievable.

    Check your deeds and boundaries

    Know where your property boundaries are and check for any restrictive covenants that might affect building work.

    Consider access requirements

    Think about how builders will access your property, where materials can be stored, and any parking restrictions.

    Gather inspiration and references

    Collect photos of styles you like. This helps builders understand your vision and provide relevant suggestions.

    Notify your neighbours

    It's courteous to let neighbours know about planned work. This also helps identify any party wall requirements early.
