Build advice for your home

	Trusting a good builder who gains work by reputation is no bad thing, but do you feel in control? And if you're lucky enough to find one offering the right price and who can start in a reasonable time frame, is reputation a guarantee to quality and service?
	To assume that any defective work will be put right by the builder maybe all well and good if it is simply something wrong with the finishes, but what about weak foundations, insufficient ties in the cavity wall or the incorrect supports for the new dormer or loft hatch?

PROBLEM INVESTIGATION You've just moved home or have a home with a long standing issue that you've never got round to sorting out: There are problems with damp, drainage, structure, roof, electrics, plumbing, heating, gardens, etc and you want to know your options? Selling or Buying? The surveyor's report seems unreasonable. Want an unbiased explanation and a second opinion? You've had builders round to look at the problem, but none seem interested or have charged you for work that hasn't improved anything. Contact Yorkshire Build Consultancy to investigate and tell you the unbiased facts.

You've got an idea, but are not sure if it will work and don't want to get an architect involved just yet. Do you even need an architect?
You're sure on what you want, but not sure what to do next for planning permission or whether it even needs it.
You have drawings from an architect and have planning permission, but are not certain just how much you need an architect to do.
You have drawings from an architect/technician, but don't feel experienced enough to know if they are good quality, comply with building regulations, truly reflect what you want or are detailed enough to ensure the builder does what you require.

Contact Yorkshire Build Consultancy Be sure about the next step!

You know what you want, have a design, and want builders to give you prices.

They all have their own ideas and offer varying prices: How do you compare them?
Will the quality of the cheapest be good enough?
What extras will they want paying for and how will they be valued?
Will they agree a duration for the work?
What happens if they damage your home?
