Complete Building Solutions
Builders in Halstead, Essex
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars16 December 2020
“We chose Complete Building Solutions to build a large ground ground floor extension. From day 1 we were put at ease and every stage of the build was explained. My wife and I were hugely impressed with the punctuality, professionalism and politeness of the operatives. Kaspars was regularly on site to check on the smooth running of the build and was always easy to contact by phone. The standard of work is of the highest quality and their eye for detail is exceptional. We would highly recommend Kaspars and his company to any prospective client.”

They were extremely professional throughout the entirety of the job, completed the conversion to a really high standard, always left things clean and tidy, and were very friendly and easy to deal with. I would definitely recommend them and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again on any future work.”

Stayed professional throughout even when small changes were made mid project, and gave trusted advice when issues arose. Communication remained constant throughout the project and all works were completed on time.”
John O Connell Building Solutions
Builders in Halstead, Essex
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars11 July 2015
“I first Worked with john and Mij on "The Shed" project and i have to say they were fantastic !!! It's normally quite hard dealing with new builders for the first time but they were excellent, nothing was too much trouble and they implemented all the details asked and stepped up to save the day when the specialist brackets for the floating beam came wrong. The time scale was very very tight but we completed on time on budget including a few un foreseen extras ..”

“We have been supplying Joinery to Seamans regularly for several years and have always found them very pleasurable to deal with. Seamans have realistic expectations and have never been late with payments. Any projects we have been involved with have always been carried out to the highest standards, and I would have no hesitation in recommending Seamans whether as a customer or supplier.

VSM Property Services Ltd
Builders in Halstead, Essex
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars19 October 2018
“House renovation is a very stressful experience. I have to say Valy and the team do their best to alleviate this. Their priority is the knowledge that it is your home. Professional, tidy and responsive are words I would use to describe them. |We love our home now and I also have to mention Inese is the best decorator we have ever used. Attention to detail and a perfectionist. A great team!”

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 Halstead, Essex building firm will know exactly how to visualise your architects plans and build you the home that you want. Experienced home builders in Halstead, Essex 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 Halstead, Essex 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 Halstead, Essex 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 Halstead, Essex 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 Halstead, Essex 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 Halstead, Essex 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 Halstead, Essex 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?
