High Spec Building

Kingsbridge, Devon Builders

14 December 2020

“Having never undertaken building work before, we entered the process with some trepidation. A colleague strongly recommended HighSpec and from the outset it was clear they were the most professional of the 3 quoting companies. There was a very personal touch in Andrew’s meetings . We weren’t rushed at all and he was happy to guide us through the various complexities. The quote was clear and not littered with “provisional sums” seen in other estimates. This gave us confidence in choosing them. Ultimately the work did not increase in cost throughout the full 6 month project, apart from some additions we chose to make along the way (including underfloor bathroom heating – highly recommended!) We had extensive work done – a full loft conversion with en suite, and 2 additional bathrooms, plus new plumbing and electrics throughout. At all times, the whole team from HighSpec were friendly and respectful. We had a very open working relationship, in which we invited them to give views on our ideas, based on their experience. It was genuinely enjoyable having them in the house. They were great with our kids, and a pleasure to chat to during breaks in ours and their working schedules. We never once saw them start late, or down tools early. Hassan, Dave and Alex are clearly excellent craftsmen. We appreciated their perfectionism and attention to detail. The inbuilt storage solution made from dismantled”

“Hugh has completed two projects for us. The first was designing an extension at the rear of our property some 20 years ago. Living in Dartmoor National Park his experience of dealing with such authorities was invaluable. The design was cleverly conceived and as unobtrusive as possible whilst meeting all of our requirements and satisfying the planners. The second project, some 6 years ago involved the design and construction of a green oak frame extension. Again this has blended in perfectly and met with the total approval of the planning authorities. Hugh is a delight to work with and we have no hesitation in recommending him.”

Carpenter Oak Ltd

Kingsbridge, Devon Builders

24 September 2014

“With Carpenter Oak you're not just a client, you become part of the family! We turned up unexpectedly at the wrong time for our meeting and were taken under the wing of the carpenters themselves. Mugs of tea, bowls of water for our dogs, humour, a great smell of oak and demonstration of their skill and passion sold Carpenter Oak to us more than any sales presentation could ever do. And a year or more later nothings changed, great on site, flexible with their designs, care for their products passionately and always get back to you. Highly recommended.”

Complete Carpentry & Construction

Kingsbridge, Devon Builders

7 June 2018

“We worked with the guys at Complete Carpentry for one of our landscaping projects in Paignton. They were tasked with building an outdoor garden room for the client, of which they did a superp job. We ourselves work to very high standards, of which their own work complimented this perfectly, and we would be more than happy to work with them again on future projects. Oli - Legendary Landscapes”

Perrett & Family Builders

Kingsbridge, Devon Builders

2 August 2017

“We are firm of architects who have now worked with Perrett & Family Builders on a number of successful projects. They are a delight to work with. Emma provides the 'front of house' organisation and client interface rarely seen in the construction industry, whist Marco diligently masterminds the construction with his careful eye for detail. Together they provide an excellent balance of service and product delivery. I am very happy to recommend them.”

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