“We had an excellent experience working with David of Luxury Sustainable Homes (South) Ltd, who managed and built our new home from start to finish. David was professional, knowledgeable, and highly committed throughout the entire process. His attention to detail, and ability to manage, with his team, every stage of the build gave us real confidence. The quality of workmanship is outstanding, and our home was delivered to a very high standard, reflecting both sustainability and luxury exactly as promised. We are absolutely delighted with the result and would not hesitate to recommend David and Luxury Sustainable Homes (South) Ltd”
Bastion
Builders in Reading, Berkshire
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars11 March 2025
“We asked Bastion design an extension we were planning. They took the time required to fully understand our requirements and the design they came up with was exactly what we wanted. Our builder was very impressed with Bastion's technical drawings and said it was a doddle to follow them. The finished extension looks identical to the rendered images Bastion supplied.”

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