Build & Variation Process

Our build and variations process is designed to provide complete transparency from initial consultation through to project completion, ensuring clients remain fully informed, in control of budgets, and confident throughout every stage of construction.

Build Process

  1. Get in touch by phone, email or message, and we’ll introduce ourselves and arrange a phone call to discuss your plans and vision in more depth — and to establish whether we’re the right builder for you.
  2. On that call we’ll cover how we can help, any concerns or objections you have, the location of your property, and your build budget.
  3. If we’re a good fit, we’ll arrange an on-site meeting at your project location to discuss your existing plans or present a range of design options, making sure the scope of work and your budget align before moving forward.
  4. If your plans don’t match your budget, we’ll suggest options — reducing the scope, increasing the budget, or drafting a build designed around your budget.
  5. Once we’re both happy to proceed, our design team drafts up the plans. If you’re using your own architect or designer, let us know early so they have the right scope and budget and we avoid any grey areas.
  6. We then present a fixed-price proposal for you to sign, based on the terms agreed in our earlier meetings.
  7. Once the proposal is agreed, we send over the contract to sign, set a start date, and provide a projected timeline for the project.

Variations Process

For those unfamiliar with the construction industry, a variation is essentially any additional work (extras) completed on your project. For example, as a job progresses you might decide to make a change or add work — such as switching laminate flooring to tiles — and this comes under our variation process.

This process helps avoid confusion and grey areas between us, and keeps you in control of your budget. There is a growing problem in our industry with hidden costs and large, unexpected bills at the end of a job, so this measure is key to maintaining clear, honest communication with our clients at all times.

Your maximum variation limit is tailored with you in the initial client meeting. Any variations up to your chosen limit will not need to go through the full variations process. For example, if the agreed limit is £500 and, during a renovation, we find the existing floor is rotten and needs replacing, we would proceed because the cost falls under the agreed limit — preventing critical timeline delays.

If you wish to proceed with a variation that changes the specification of the works, we will provide an estimate. The three things we consider when pricing a variation are value, impact on the project, and scale. Variations are invoiced once the job is complete, and no variation proceeds without the client’s signature and authorisation.
