TOTUS
Builders in Reading, Berkshire
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars2 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.”
PV James Construction Ltd
Builders in Reading, Berkshire
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars14 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.”
David Bonnick General Building Services
Builders in Reading, Berkshire
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 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.”
Oldfield Construction
Builders in Reading, Berkshire
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars25 May 2019
“Oldfield Construction gave us the best quote for our kitchen extension and we liked the attitude and professionalism of the team that we met. The build ran smoothly and we were kept frequently updated of any changes and or issues. They were knowledgable and helped us make decisions on all aspects of the build. The finish on the interior is amazing and the outside looks great against the rest of the house. Would thoroughly recommend them.”
Oak Lofts & Extensions Ltd
Builders in Reading, Berkshire
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 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.”
S & S Building Services
Builders in Reading, Berkshire
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 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!)”
CC Builders UK & Development Ltd
Builders in Reading, Berkshire
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars19 September 2017
“I had an extension built on my kitchen and another store added to my garage and cannot thank to CC builders enough for the end result. They actually finished the job earlier than anticipated and were very courteous and a pleasure to have around. The work they completed was extensive, but they got on with it, with no issues or having to be rained off. They were very competitive on price too comparing with quotes from other builders i did before, which was an added bonus.”

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?
