Pricing & costings

Know your build cost before you commit

Usually you don't get a true price until tender, by which time you've already spent heavily. We price your home much earlier.

The usual route

Where the uncertainty comes from

On a typical self-build, you only find out the real cost at stage 6:

1

Buy the land

2

Design with your architect

3

Engineer's drawings

4

Planning permission

5

Building warrant

6

Tender, and finally a price

Our way

Pricing from the design stage

We can price your house during and after the design stage (stage 2), which takes away much of the uncertainty early on. It's completely transparent: you get a full breakdown of materials, labour and total cost, based on everything known about the site.

We work with your architect to reach a design that's what you want and within budget. Often that means design and pricing go back and forth a few times until it's right. It works well for clients, architects and us.

Early costing service: £1500. A small price for peace of mind. Additional services such as site visits are charged separately.
