Featured Reviews for Plymouth, Devon Builders

Carpenter Oak Ltd

Plymouth, 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.”

G H Walters and Son - Home Builders, Cornwall

Plymouth, Devon Builders

27 August 2019

“We first used GH Walters & Son in 2012 when they took on a major project at our home for Disabled Facilities. The work that initially was deemed to be a 6-8 week job turned into 6 months, due to many unforeseen issues with the project, not with the Builder, not helped by me adding various extra jobs along the way, which Mr Walters was very patient about and accommodated me with whatever ideas I had. I am not an easy client to work for, I insist on high standards and do not tolerate poor workmanship. When this first contract came to an end I could not have been more pleased and I knew I would be calling upon this firm for future projects. Since then we have employed GH Walters & Son to do a number of jobs for us, including a new 2nd Bathroom, redecorating our main lounge, dealing with two external gable walls, cladding both, redecorating the whole of our large Bungalow externally, rendering walls, new flashing and tiles on our roof, the list is a long one and even in the case of emergencies they are with us as quickly as they can be sorting any and all issues out. In fact since 2012 there has only been one year when they have not come and done some form of work or another for us, no job is too small, no task too much, in fact they are almost like family now and we would not think about employing anyone else to do work for us. In 2021/22 we are hoping to be able to sign them up to fit a new Kitchen for us and I have no doubt that there will be some other jobs, between now and then, that will need their attention too! I do not hesitate in recommending this Builder he is honest, reliable, fair, patient and professional, traits which these days are hard to find.”

Perrett & Family Builders

Plymouth, 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.

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

Are you insured?
What materials will you be providing?

What happens if the cost exceeds agreed budget?
Is work under warranty?
