Featured Reviews for Builders in Preston, Lancashire

Highline Architecture Ltd
Builders in Preston, Lancashire
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 March 2020
“Andy was one of a number of architects we invited to quote on our project to reorganise the ground floor of our house including an extension to the rear. Upon meeting him my wife and I both felt that he was the right architect for our project. He is a local man with the knowledge and experience that we needed. Wow ! did he deliver. He was patient with us as we deliberated over various aspects of the project and gave invaluable advice and support in arriving at our final plan. I naively thought that was the end of his involvement. No way! He maintained close contact with us throughout the building work and liaised with the builders to keep them focused on delivering according to the plans. He gave us advice regarding our new kitchen and referred us to a company that we subsequently employed to deliver and fit the kitchen .We are very happy with the outcome. He also referred us to a supplier of porcelain floor tiles. We used this firm. The result was top quality floor tiles at a very reasonable price. Andy also advised us regarding underfloor heating which we installed using the suppliers he recommended. Andy went above and beyond our expectations with regard to architectural services and my wife and I will be forever indebted to him for delivering a home that has transformed our domestic comfort and lifestyle. We also had a lot of contact with Andy's wife , Audrey , who liaised with us about various aspects of the project. They are a great team and made us feel special.”
Ben Jurin Architecture Ltd
Builders in Preston, Lancashire
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars20 May 2016
“Ben architected the extension on the back of our house and did a first class job. He interviewed us so that he could accommodate our lifestyle and needs into the design and upon completion, gave a very professional presentation of the various features of the design. He communicated his design to the builder and has remained open to communication with us and the builder throughout the build. Ben's approach is to ensure planning permission is obtained first time through his knowledge of local planning regulations and by warming up the planners with an early look at the plans. He was able to accommodate any suggestions from the planner quickly while minimising the impact on timescales and the design. I would definitely use Ben again for a similar project.”
Zub-Architecture
Builders in Preston, Lancashire
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 November 2020
“Thomas Zub from Zub Architecture designed a new £300,000 indoor swimming pool at our hotel The Sheraton in Blackpool. The brief was to create a beautifully lit, 5 star environment with heated pool, Jacuzzi, lounger area, changing rooms and showers. The final design completely exceeded my expectations, the lighting and tiles are spectacular. Thomas was wonderful to deal with, very talented and professional and he dedicated so much time to the project. I felt the service was great value for money too. If you would like to see the pool when its open please ask Thomas for my details. Zub Architecture are highly recommended.”

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