Featured Reviews for Builders in Chipping Ongar, Essex

Velyov Design and Build
Builders in Chipping Ongar, Essex
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars22 May 2026
“We contacted Rado after extensive research and many consultations with other building companies. Rado and his company Velyov stood out from the offset with a clear vision for our house renovation. We visited a site he was currently working on (which we could see his eye for detail) and he provided a detailed quote that we could easily understand. He remained patient whilst some of our contractors went over due on installation dates and worked tirelessly to deliver the house we have dreamed of with his friendly team, including the master builder Lykan (his dad!). We have recommended him to our friends since and we will continue to use him for any other up coming projects. Vaughan & Alex”
Homeconcepts
Builders in Chipping Ongar, Essex
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 July 2025
“From start to finish, our experience with homeconcepts was outstanding. Danny, Lucas, Paul, Ash—along with every member of the team—brought energy, insight, and professionalism to our project, which included a full loft conversion, rear and side extensions, Air Conditioning/ Heat Pump and comprehensive renovation throughout the property. They truly took the time to understand our vision, offered imaginative yet grounded design solutions, and communicated clearly every step of the way. Being able to visualise multiple options early in the design process helped us make informed decisions, and their oversight of the builder tender ensured quality and transparency at every stage. When challenges inevitably came up, the team was responsive and solution-focused, helping us navigate issues swiftly and confidently. Their dedication and care made the entire journey far less stressful than we’d anticipated. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend homeconcepts to anyone considering a home transformation. Their thoughtful approach and collaborative mindset made all the difference”
R.A.S. Construction And Design Ltd
Builders in Chipping Ongar, Essex
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars14 November 2024
“Very happy to give RAS construction a 5 star rating. The team did a big project for us - large rear extension and complete internal renovation of the whole house. Delivered on time, on budget. It isn't always you can say builders are a pleasure to work with, but it really has been a pleasure. Sorin provided a competitive and detailed quote. Andrei is an excellent project manager, right people and materials on site every day, no delays. He was also mindful and considerate of us living in the house during the entire project - kids and new baby too! And the team showed up every single day, on time, and got the work done. Quality of the work is excellent - both the sleek modern finish in the extension and the attention to detail in the Victorian refurb with all the original features. Having seen other work by RAS for friends and neighbours (extension, refurb, and loft), their work is consistently high quality, on budget, on time, pleasant and professional to deal with, and I've had no hesitation recommending them to friends and family.”

Builder FAQs
There are several reasons why you should hire a local builder in Chipping Ongar:
  1. Local builders will be familiar with your local authorities building regulations, being able to advise on any relevant permits you need before work can begin.
  2. Builders near you will be aware of the climate of your area, and can recommend materials and construction methods suitable for your area.
  3. Building firms nearby will provide quicker responses and quotes compared to contractors outside of your local area, as they are nearby, they will often drop in to talk to you about your project and view the property.

For home builders, you will usually receive a quote for a building project instead of daily rates or hourly fees. The cost depends on various factors such as the type of job, builders experience and length of the project.

Expect to pay less for a small maintenance job such as brickwork repair or an extension of an existing wall than a new build project such as a kitchen or bathroom renovation and home extensions. After you’ve found a local builder for your project, speaking with them in detail about your project will help them give you an accurate estimate for the work required.
If you hire a home builder for a lengthy project, such as an extension, your builder may charge a daily rate. You can expect to pay around £350 per day for this. If your builder charges this way, ask for an estimation of how long this will take so you know roughly how much the total cost will be.

It is often a good idea to play devils advocate and ask what the builder will not be responsible for. Be wary of unusually cheap quotes. Ask for references and stories about how the builder has met different challenges along the way. If you can, you could try to see previous projects and talk to previous clients, or if not, read reviews, and ratings, and look at detailed photos of projects. All of which you can find on Houzz.
