Q. "Can I get a quotation without having any architectural drawings?"

A. We can offer a site visit and price a cost as an estimate! Rather than an official quotation, an estimate of cost will not be accurate and will require an official written quotation before any further action is taken.

Q. What are the minimum requirements I need to build an extension to my home.

A. Most Projects require Architectural Drawings, Planning Permission from your local Council and Building Regulations. There are exceptions but please check with your local Council.

Q. My quotation includes VAT! Do I have to pay the VAT?

A. We are a VAT registered Company and must charge VAT at an additional 20% above the Net quotation cost. All purchased materials are chargeable with VAT at the point of purchasing, so the additional cost is only incurred on the Labour part.
