Builder FAQs
There are several reasons why you should hire a local builder in Colchester:
  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.

A professional contractor will have worked on projects like yours previously and they will know exactly what to do.

Compile a shortlist of at least three builders in Colchester that can handle the full scope of works, either by themselves or through sub-contracting. 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.
