Shear Architectural Design Ltd
Builders in East Preston, West Sussex
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 January 2026
“We highly recommend Shear Architectural Design who made the whole design and planning process stress-free. Darryl is highly knowledgeable and guided us on how what would be achievable, giving us the confidence to submit a plan for our dream build - which passed planning on its first go! Debbie has been a dream, keeping us informed, liaising with structural engineer, planning and building control for a seamless experience. They have built up relationships with experienced local trades, guaranteeing good communication and ways of working, so our impression was similar to working with an all-in-one design and spec team. They put their customer first, ensuring we understood what would happen, when and why. Their online tender package made it simple to contact builders will all the necessary information organised in folders, in a single download link. Brilliant! From start to finish they have responded quickly, kindly and demystified what we feared would be a challenging project. You will be in very good hands with Shear. We are now finalising our builder selection and can't wait to see our project built! Darryl has translated our need for natural light, clear movement between spaces and tweaked designs to give our family the in-built storage we need.”

“Delighted to highly recommend the services of John Houlihan at Prime Living. This the 2nd time we have used John to manage a project. We had a complete bathroom renovation which John managed. It was completed on time with all aspects attended to with care and attention to detail. He has excellent knowledge and works with designers, skilled builders and craftsmen. John visits regularly and is a reassuring presence from start to finish.”

“We are planning a single story extension on the back of our house which Chris has helped design and draw up plans for. Chris has been a true professional throughout the process. Knowledgable, honest and prompt with his responses. Having had builders look through the plans, it is clear that Chris’s standard of work is very high and His prices are also competitive. We are currently waiting for a start date for the project however I feel reassured based on my experienced so far, that Chris will be happy help should we need him.”

  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.

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.
