Refresh Renovations - Cambridgeshire - Simon
Builders in Melbourn, Cambridgeshire
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 February 2020
“I have worked with Refresh Renovations on several building projects and found them to be very professional, reliable and friendly. Will definitely be working them again in the future and highly recommend them to anyone considering a renovation/extension.”
Cannon Architectural Design Ltd.
Builders in Melbourn, Cambridgeshire
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 June 2020
“Tom has been a pleasure to work with. From initial meeting right through planning he has listened and delivered more than we had hoped for. He listened to what we wanted, gave us options and talked us through them and then designed an extension that was better than we had hope for. Even in uncertain times he made sure we had regular updates, calls to discuss the project and just included us every step of the way. He even talked me through what pictures to submit to get us through planning. As someone who works with designers and builders daily it was great to work with such a dedicated professional...couldn't recommend more highly.”
R.A.S. Construction And Design Ltd
Builders in Melbourn, Cambridgeshire
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars12 October 2020
“I have used Chris and his teams at RAS Construction for complicated extensions where only half of the existing house was kept, lofts, patios, porches and landscaping ie for a variety of very successful projects. I enjoy that Chris is so accessible and his teams are focussed, very hard-working and achieve more in a day than I have seen other companies achieve which helps them achieve timing and budget. He has never gone over any budget or timing agreed which is a big statement and the finish I have on my projects is fantastic. Everyone comments on their work positively and they are very solutions-orientated and client-focussed. I have lost count of the number of projects that have come from referrals from the builds they completed with me. They are a lovely team! Even the inspector I use also has commented on the projects as being very well finished compared to what he sees everyday. One of the local estate agents said it was the best extension he had ever seen from a design (FreeSpace Design Ltd UK) perspective and finish (RAS Construction). I am super fussy being an Interior Architect and RAS have never let me down. They are worth every penny, fair, honest and experienced - highly recommended obviously! Most people I know are disappointed with their builders - I did research into 15 builders before choosing them!”

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

When looking for a Melbourn 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 contractor will have worked on projects like yours previously and they will know exactly what to do.

Compile a shortlist of at least three builders in Melbourn 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.
