Transparent Solutions with Online Building Compliance Check for Renovation Planning
Planning an extension or major renovation is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll make for your home. Our pricing is clear, fixed, and designed to pay for itself by stopping problems before they start. By bringing in an independent expert, you reduce the risk of hidden contractor mark‑ups, quiet shortcuts on quality, and the kind of disputes that drain your time, money, and peace of mind.
The Pre-Build Sanity Check (Desktop Audit)
£495 – £795 (Fixed Fee)
We forensically review your architectural plans and up to three builder quotes before you sign anything, hunting for hidden exclusions and unrealistic material allowances. This early “sanity check” helps you lock in a fair price and avoid nasty surprises once work begins.
- Line‑by‑line review of up to 3 builder quotes with a written risk summary
- Check of your plans for cost‑efficiency and clarity before tender or signing
- Plain‑English report highlighting hidden risks, gaps, and negotiation points
The Milestone Inspection Bundle (Site Visits)
£350 per visit or £1,400 per bundle
Our Chartered experts carry out independent site inspections at the highest‑risk stages of your build to keep everyone honest and standards high. These focused check‑ins catch problems before they’re hidden, protecting both your home and your budget.
- On‑site inspection at agreed key milestones (e.g. foundations, steel, first fix)
- Independent assessment of workmanship against plans and agreed standards
- Clear follow‑up defect report with required fixes and priority actions
The Complete “Peace of Mind” Retainer
1.5% to 2.5% of total build cost
This is full end‑to‑end protection for major renovations, where we act as your personal project manager and independent watchdog. We control the release of funds based on verified progress on site, protecting your financial risk from start to finish.
- Ongoing project oversight from pre‑contract stage through to handover
- Regular site inspections and progress checks, with plain‑English updates
- Payment sign‑off and staged fund release tied to verified milestones
