Should I ask for a written contract?

Yes, it is crucial to have a written contract with home builders outlining the scope of the work, timeline and payment terms. This ensures that both parties are clear about expectations, which can help prevent misunderstandings later on.

How long will it take to build my new home?

The timeline for building a new home can vary depending on factors like size, design complexity and weather. On average, a standard new home build can take between 6 months and a year. It’s important to discuss the estimated timeline with your house builders to set realistic expectations.

Can I make design changes during the build?

It depends on the stage of construction. Some changes may be possible, but they can increase costs and extend the timeline.

What should I look for when choosing a builder near me?

Look for builders with **relevant experience, strong reviews, and evidence of previous completed projects** similar to your plans. Also, check they have appropriate insurance and, ideally, membership in professional bodies, like the **Federation of Master Builders (FMB)**, the **National House Building Council (NHBC)**, or the **Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB)**. On MyBuilder, you can easily review feedback from past clients to help you make an informed hire.

Can new home builders help with design and planning?

Yes, many local new home building companies work with architects or have in-house design teams who can assist with layouts, materials, and planning applications, ensuring your design is practical and compliant with local building regulations.

How can I ensure my build stays on budget?

To be sure you stay on budget, start by getting multiple detailed quotes from interested new home builders and agreeing on clear payment stages in writing. Avoid major design or changes once work begins so the final price isn’t unexpectedly bumped up, and **keep communication open with your builder** to manage costs and expectations throughout the project.

We were impressed from the outset by the approach of Rob and Pete. Their modern approach, the use of an ipad at our initial meeting, brought the tired old world of building and builders well into the 21st Century. Despite their obvious youth, their approach to communication with us and their ethos about their work showed a maturity lacking in many established building firms Their portfolio was not extensive but we were impressed by what we did see and we followed up their references too which gleaned glowing reports. This was obviously a business in its infancy but Rob and Pete were the hungriest for our business and therefore worked hard to reassure us they would meet our specifications. We felt such an impressive start deserved to be awarded our business opportunity. We have experienced many building firms and builders over the years and are well versed in the pit falls and potential for disasters between builder and employer. We can therefore state with absolute assurance that with Oak Developments we hit the jackpot. From start to finish the project ran without a hitch. Absences (though few and far between) were always informed and the project ran to schedule and on budget. Liaison with the trades and project management was handled by Oak but they kept us in the link throughout. After 16 weeks our project was signed off to our absolute delight and without hesitation we highly recommend this company to all.

After a verbal recommendation from a friend (who used to be a builder), Wayne built a two storey extension on the back of my small terraced house; this included turning a kitchen into a kitchen-diner downstairs and re-modelling the upstairs to include a larger landing, an extended master bedroom and new stairs to the converted loft. I could not be happier with his work from the quote right through to the completion of the works. The work was completed to a very high quality; this has been remarked upon by friends who know what they are talking about, not just me! The work was on time and to budget; there were some extra costs but all of these were discussed fully beforehand and the vast majority were initiated by me. Wayne has many strengths. He is completely trustworthy (as are his team of specialist tradesman). He is always calm and he communicates with you all the time to let you know how things are going. He finds ways of getting round small problems that are inventive and don't end up costing you more money, always consulting you at every step. If you have any questions, concerns or you want to make small changes, he is very approachable and honest. The aftercare that he provides is also very good and whilst completing the work he and his team were really good with the neighbours. I am delighted with my new home and will be asking Wayne to do more work for me in the future. I recommend him to anyone without reservation.

Paul and George have just completed our single storey, timber frame family room. We are delighted with the level of finish and with the construction progress throughout. Paul and George kept us up to speed with progress, costs, as well as when the various trades would be attending site to carry out works. The site was kept safe, clean and tidy and all tradesmen used we courteous and cared about their job. Paul and George were both great at communicating, which in my view is key to a good job so that both parties are aware at all times where they stand. They completed the project on budget and although they did run over the agreed timescales it wasn`t by much and the weather conditions didn’t aid progress. All in all we would recommend using Paul and George and would have no hesitation in using them again for any further works.

Kitchen Fitting- 10 Mar 2013
Adrian and his team provided an excellent all round service from quote to completion. Great value for money was accompanied by a marvellously skilled job completed with minimum fuss in very good time. The quoting process was very helpful as Adrian both suggested areas where work could be done differently as well as areas that maybe weren’t necessary to achieve the best possible end result. This enabled a clearer picture from the outset accompanying his detailed quote. The work was started soon after acceptance and deliveries (new kitchen) received and signed for which was enormously helpful. We were regularly updated on his progress and jobs outside the scope of the quote highlighted for our agreement as they went along. The finished result is excellent and I would recommend Adrian and his team at Start2Finish to anyone requiring building work in the South West. Our conclusions were- great value, honest, accomplished, excellent communication throughout, fantastic finish and helpful throughout the process.
