Featured Reviews for Derby, Derbyshire Builders

Lychgate Homes Ltd & Lychgate Bespoke Build Ltd

Derby, Derbyshire Builders

31 January 2018

“When we embarked on our journey to convert an old school into our family home, we knew we needed the best in the business. Not only was it a large project, but it required passion, skill and commitment. So when we met Dan from Lychgate Homes we knew they were the right partners for us. Over the next 2 years they turned a derelict, run-down building into a wonderful home that has character, quality and charm. It is contemporary with modern day comforts on the inside combined with tradition and character on the outside. Lychgate carried out the work with great attention to detail, ensuring that our needs came first. They were professional in their approach and combined imagination and determination in perfect measures. We are delighted with the result, delighted with Lychgate and can't recommend them highly enough.”

GreenBird Properties Ltd

Derby, Derbyshire Builders

16 December 2016

“Thank you again for the excellent work done in fitting the bi-fold doors to our dining room. From the initial contact the service has been professional, friendly, on time and tidy! It was reassuring to be able to see the qualified structural engineer's full set of calculations prior to the start of works, which added to our confidence even more. The quality of the doors is excellent, the plastering perfect.. The quality of the finishing touches - such as the re-worked threshold, fitment of a very high quality vertical radiator, and re-positioning of a wall mounted TV (inc. aerial & electrical points) - was second to none. We would recommend Roger / GreenBird Properties without hesitation.”

These days, more and more people are deciding to build their own dream home from scratch. You have your plot of land, plans have been drawn up by an architect and the next step is to hire an experienced home builder to turn your dreams into a reality. A good Derby, Derbyshire building firm will know exactly how to visualise your architects plans and build you the home that you want. Experienced home builders in Derby, Derbyshire will be able to source all the right materials needed and employ the right, skilled workers for each job at every stage of construction.

Why hire a Derby, Derbyshire home builder to create your dream home?

Often, when buying a property, there are things that are not quite to your taste that you would change, or get rid of. Even if you have the money and skilled workers, it is difficult to create something that is exactly as you’d like given that you are building on something that already exists. It could be that the layout of your property is just not how you would have chosen it to be had you been starting from scratch. For some people, having the perfect home is very important and the only way to achieve this is to build from the ground up with the help of a Derby, Derbyshire home builder. This sometimes also even makes more financial sense as it would cost less to do this than to rearrange an entire, pre-existing home. This may seem like a daunting task, and admittedly, it’s not for the faint-hearted. But with extensive research, trusted builders, detailed budgeting and good judgement you might soon be sitting in the house of your dreams, at a snip of the cost.

How do you look for the right home builder?

When looking for a Derby, Derbyshire building company to take on your project, you will want to know that they will be able to handle the job in good time and sticking to your agreed budget. A professional builder will have worked on projects like yours previously and they will know exactly what to do.

Your architect’s plans will serve as clear instructions to your builder and, if the former has done their job well, you should also avoid any nasty surprises with the local council. Finding the right builder need not be a long or difficult process. Personal recommendations aside, a good place to start is the Home Builders in Derby, Derbyshire category of the Find a Pro section on Houzz, where you can see their previous work and ask questions.

Compile a shortlist of at least three builders in Derby, Derbyshire that can handle the full scope of works, either by themselves or through sub-contracting. It is often a good idea to play devil’s advocate and ask what the builder will not be responsible for, such as structural engineer consultations. 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 builders’ previous projects in person and talk to previous clients, or if not, read reviews, recommendations and ratings, and look at detailed photos of projects.

Agree a clear schedule of work, an itemised and fixed quote (inclusive of VAT), and a staged payment scheme with balance to be paid subject to satisfaction. All under contract. Leave no stone unturned. Ask lots of questions.

Some questions you may want to ask your potential Derby, Derbyshire house builder might be:

How long have you been operating as home builders?
Who will be working on the project?
Which subcontractors will you be using?
May I see a current work in progress and speak to a previous client?
Are you insured?
What materials will you be providing?
What happens if the completion date is delayed?
What happens if the cost exceeds agreed budget?
Is work under warranty?
What is the notice period for termination of contract?
