Featured Reviews for Builders in Lowestoft, Suffolk

Coulby Interiors
Builders in Lowestoft, Suffolk
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 January 2013
“We recently hired Rebecca to redesign our kitchen and dining room. Rebecca provided a fantastic service from start to finish and we are so happy with the final results. Having a complete kitchen redesign and decoration of hall and lounge 3 weeks before christmas may seem ambitious and a little crazy but Rebecca and her team made the whole project as stress free as possible. I cannot recommend Rebecca and her team highly enough.”

“I have been using the service of Ian Garrett Design since 1991 for various projects including renovation work, barn conversions and new builds. I have always found them very professional and very approachable when help was needed. I would therefore have no hesitation in highly recommending this company whatever your own project maybe.”

“Tim Hannon visited me to discuss plans for my new house, having explained what I wanted Tim came back with a plan, there were a few tweeks to satisfy my requirements, but other wise the design was perfect. Tim kept in touch through the whole process, offering advice when I needed it (I project managed the site) the result was a property that is frequently admired by passers by and a very comfortable home to live in.”

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

Compile a shortlist of at least three builders in Lowestoft 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.
