Featured Reviews for Builders in York, North Yorkshire

Architecture and More
Builders in York, North Yorkshire
Average rating: 4 out of 5 stars10 April 2018
“My house was a difficult house to deal with at the time - it was part derelict and it had been left in the dark ages. Architecture and More produced fabulous drawings and dealt with the planning department. They worked with difficult builders and stressed homeowners well. If I ever take on another project I would use Architecture and More again.”
Niche Design Architects
Builders in York, North Yorkshire
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 September 2016
“We asked Niche to draw up designs to convert part of our garage into an office. The result is not just an office but a beautiful, light-filled space which is a pleasure to work in - cosy in the winter and cool in the summer! They were very flexible about looking at different options which made the whole design process very straightforward. The drawings and information they provided was very comprehensive and as a result the builder had no queries and we had no nasty surprises in terms of additional costs. In fact we were so impressed we've asked them to draw up plans for a new kitchen / dining room and loft conversion. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.”
Cooper Architecture Limited
Builders in York, North Yorkshire
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars25 March 2023
“I contacted Adrian after a recommendation from a builder in Hexham and I was not disappointed. Despite the clear distance between us, Adrian turned up as an extremely enthusiastic, friendly and knowledgeable Architect. I was informed by a previous Architect that I stood no chance of having plans passed for my project but Adrian dismissed this view, taking a pragmatic approach, reassuring me that it was possible, therefore I contracted Adrian to undertake the job and I'm pleased to say that he succeeded and planning permission was granted. I have another project in mind and I will certainly be using Adrian to undertake the planning process. Very Highly Recommended!!!”

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