VESP Architects
Builders in Tavistock, Devon
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars8 April 2016
“I have no hesitation in recommending van Ellen + Sheryn Architects to any prospective customer. My experience was excellent – great service without fault, and very good value for money. If I need to employ an Architect again I would engage van Ellen + Sheryn without question. van Ellen + Sheryn offered a flexible and scalable service from initial consultancy, through design and application, and even including project management of the build, according to our needs and budget. Our project was quite modest in scale, nonetheless the company were thorough and professional in every way, paying great attention to all the details, and showing full understanding of the many regulations, procedures and formalities that had to be observed for planning and building compliance. Van Ellen + Sheryn made the entire process very simple and easy to understand, explaining all the steps in plain English, providing valuable advice while interpreting our wishes and needs to deliver a design we were very happy with, and delivering or facilitating the planning applications, engineering drawings, surveys and consultancy with the builders and various other agencies, so that the project ran smoothly, on time and without stress. Thank you van Ellen + Sheryn!”

“Having recently moved back to the UK after many years living abroad the idea of renovating an old 1904 property while not knowing the area or who to approach to do the work seemed very overwhelming. Anne was quickly able to provide an onsite visit and soon spotted the potential of this beautiful old property, suggesting a new layout that would suit our needs. Anne sourced beautiful pieces to fit our style and budget which allowed us to accommodate our furniture and accessories brought back from Asia. The tradesmen that she brought in were all reliable, professional and above all, lovely people. Anne also discovered a beautiful art nouveau black leaded fireplace which had been hidden under decades of paint and she indulged our wish for an industrial feel kitchen/dining room painstakingly created by her amazing builder. The extensive work of renovating an old property was not without its issues but all were met with practical solutions, can do attitude and with the expertise of experience. We are loving living in our newly designed home thanks to Anne and her team.”

There are several reasons why you should hire a local builder in Tavistock:
  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.
