MTB Architecture
Builders in Sandy, Bedfordshire
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars5 May 2022
“Mark was great we wanted an orangey build and asked mark for advice, he came out on a Saturday because we both worked through the week. Mark gave us some great ideas and showed us photos of previous ideas, he drew up our plans and after agreeing with them sent them off to planning, also sorted out a surveyor and buildings inspector. We would recommend Mark 100% He gave us some good advice on choosing a builder, appreciated because it’s not easy to choose. Thank you Mark. Dave & Lesley”
Appropriate Design Solutions
Builders in Sandy, Bedfordshire
Average rating: 4 out of 5 stars3 January 2023
“Looking to get an extension to my bungalow. I contacted a few initially for comparison. I actually found Chris from the Houzz website. Chris responded quickly, and unlike some other architects, Chris was happy to work in stages and bring in service only when necessary (site survey in particular, and it was not necessary at the end as Chris has enough experience to work on this). As you can imagine, this helps to avoid cost. During the various phases, Chris was very responsive and very patient with all my questions. We have a few, what I would say un-reasonable responses from the council during the planning application. Chris explained the details to me and dealt with them efficiently. The planning was approved and Chris put together the build drawing and able to recommended a couple of very good builders. Unfortunately during the course of approx. 9 months (council mainly, then busy time for the builders, and holidays over the first summer after lock down), the materials price has gone up significantly so I have to park the project for now. It is difficult to capture all the detail but in summary, Chris is experience, responsive, patient to explain the detail and happy to work within my constraint. I would 100% recommend Appropriate Design solution to my friends.”
Artifex Homes Ltd
Builders in Sandy, Bedfordshire
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars8 March 2024
“Artifex are a very professional local (to Hertfordshire) builder well managed by Tom Shipperlee. They have the necessary experts in every trade and built our ground floor extension with great precision to plan. Of particular note, the carpenters who constructed the pitched roof, were outstanding in their dedication to quality and durability. The bricklayers were particularly precise in their work, taking levels regularly to ensure the structural integrity. We are very pleased with the end result & we would thoroughly recommend Artifex for any remodelling or extension building work. Our neighbours commented on how well they cleaned around our site, before finishing each day.”

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

Compile a shortlist of at least three builders in Sandy 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.
