Featured Reviews for Reading, Berkshire Builders

PV James Construction Ltd

Reading, Berkshire Builders

14 November 2014

“We have used this construction company over the last few years and they have done some great work for us - the last job an excellent bathroom. We live in an old house and things not always straight forward. The contractors are always very pleasant and polite. We are confident that a job will be completed and we would never be left with something unfinished. A big bonus is that Pel will always reply to messages.”

Wooburn Project Management Ltd

Reading, Berkshire Builders

5 December 2019

“Good job on completion, happy with worker attitude and work, despite over run on time. Will recommend this company. Workers are dedicated to work as a team”

TOTUS

Reading, Berkshire Builders

2 July 2015

“I've worked with Totus Construction as a photographer on a number of projects. Can't ask for a better client! Very clear instructions, excellent communication, flexible and fast decisions. The projects that I worked on are beautiful and inspiring. Attention to detail and care for the clients - that's what I understood about Totus Construction.”

S & S Building Services

Reading, Berkshire Builders

9 December 2019

“Rob and his colleagues built a garage and did a garage conversion to the original garage. I can fully recommend S&S to anyone, the attention to detail is first class and several neighbours have told me of their 'garage envy' following the work! I would use the company again without hesitation and have already recommended them to a neighbour (who has hired them!)”

RB Construction Services Ltd

Reading, Berkshire Builders

20 January 2020

“RB Construction has been a valued partner of Luna Tile and Stone for a number of years now. A family run business with a very strong business ethos, putting the customer first. I would highly recommend RB Construction to any developer or end customer.”

David Bonnick General Building Services

Reading, Berkshire Builders

21 January 2017

“Dave completed a full extension at the back of our house. He was extremely professional throughout and both his own team and subcontractors were really friendly and respectfully. Dave ensured that each night the site was tidied and there was not an accumulation of builders rubbish left around the outside of the property. He was full of little ideas that helped tweak the internals to great effect. . We also did not have to project manage the build as Dave took care of this. Since the completion of the build, Dave has stayed in touch and helped out with any additional snagging or issues we have had. I would definitely recommend him not just for the quality of his work but also for who he engaged with us and made the project really straight forward.”

K Design and Build Ltd

Reading, Berkshire Builders

28 January 2019

“We employed K Design and Build to undertake a two storey side and front extension and a single storey rear extension which included a large kitchen/diner design. Throughout the build, Karl’s standard of work and attention to detail was exemplary. We gave Karl a strict immovable deadline for our build and despite very challenging weather conditions at times Karl and his team worked tirelessly to ensure we were able to move into our dream home on time. Karl provided superb customer service throughout the build providing excellent advice on the overall design of the project and managing our stress levels through inevitable challenges that arose during the 6 month build. Most impressively this level of customer service has continued since the completion of the build. Karl has completed a 6 month review of the build with a 12 month final check arranged. Karl has also always responded quickly and positively with any questions we have had since completion. We would therefore highly recommend K Design and Build for any large scale build projects whose professional, knowledgeable and outstanding quality of workmanship is second to none.”

Style Lofts & Extensions Ltd

Reading, Berkshire Builders

1 March 2019

“Last year, Greg and his team did my home extension which required several steels and large expanse of sliding windows. They put in a new ensuite bathroom, flooring, shelving and a patio and decking in the garden amongst many other bits of work. He and his team were extremely reliable, produced work to a high quality and were fantastic at problem solving. Greg went out of his way to ensure I was happy with the work and was a pleasure to liaise with. He invariably answered the phone when I called and if not available would get back to me very quickly without needing to be chased. I can highly recommend Greg and his team and plan to use them again in the very near future.”

HRJ Builders

Reading, Berkshire Builders

4 August 2020

“We are so happy with all the work HRJ Builders did for us, great attention to detail. They are very professional, tidy and always on time. Great price for the work they completed, we hope to have them back in the future and would happily recommend him to family friends. If you want a professional job, then you wont go wrong with hrj builders! Thanks again Harley Roy Jacobson Builders.”

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