Shear Architectural Design Ltd
Builders in Southwater, West Sussex
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 January 2026
“We highly recommend Shear Architectural Design who made the whole design and planning process stress-free. Darryl is highly knowledgeable and guided us on how what would be achievable, giving us the confidence to submit a plan for our dream build - which passed planning on its first go! Debbie has been a dream, keeping us informed, liaising with structural engineer, planning and building control for a seamless experience. They have built up relationships with experienced local trades, guaranteeing good communication and ways of working, so our impression was similar to working with an all-in-one design and spec team. They put their customer first, ensuring we understood what would happen, when and why. Their online tender package made it simple to contact builders will all the necessary information organised in folders, in a single download link. Brilliant! From start to finish they have responded quickly, kindly and demystified what we feared would be a challenging project. You will be in very good hands with Shear. We are now finalising our builder selection and can't wait to see our project built! Darryl has translated our need for natural light, clear movement between spaces and tweaked designs to give our family the in-built storage we need.”

“I can't thank Vlad and Kal enough for the incredible work they did on our home renovation. From the start, they became more than just builders—they became friends. We trusted them completely, even handing over the keys to our home without hesitation, knowing they would treat it with the utmost care. The quality of their work was outstanding, and their attention to detail was second to none. They were not only incredibly skilled but also respectful, considerate, and genuinely invested in delivering the best results. I would recommend them 100% to anyone looking for a reliable and top-notch team. Thank you both for everything!”

“We are planning a single story extension on the back of our house which Chris has helped design and draw up plans for. Chris has been a true professional throughout the process. Knowledgable, honest and prompt with his responses. Having had builders look through the plans, it is clear that Chris’s standard of work is very high and His prices are also competitive. We are currently waiting for a start date for the project however I feel reassured based on my experienced so far, that Chris will be happy help should we need him.”

  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.

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.
