Flexible Pricing

Save �1000's with our 'Open Book' solution

Open book is simply an agreement that all costs will be transparent, and you pay the trade price for all the works carried out. Yes, we project manage the process, source the tradesmen or work with your chosen supplier and you pay them direct. How can we do this? We work for 7% of the total budget but you can save over 17% as most sub-contract tradesmen are not VAT registered. You get exactly the same levels of service and attention to detail as a fixed price contract. Apart from that, the only other major difference is that we share the risk so, if the quoted amount does overrun through poor weather conditions or other factors beyond our control you pay the extra - but we don't charge 7%. Typically there is a minimum saving of 10% to be made by working this way although it is more often than not greater.

We are happy to visit you and discuss your project without any obligation, this will enable you to view other similar projects and obtain a 'ball park' figure for your requirements.

If you are interested in proceeding to the next stage of our 'open book' approach, here is an example of how a typical project is divided into the core development stages:

Step 1 - Detailed quote and feasibility study

Step 2 - Order placed and pricing option/work and payment schedule agreed

Step 3 - Construction

Step 4 - Finish, paint, etc.

Step 5 - Support, snagging (6 month period)

You would need to define what constitutes a 'snag' - plaster cracking, movement, etc.

No Risk, 'Fixed Price' Solution

Fixed price is how most builders provide a cost for their work, however, unlike most builders, we guarantee that the price we quote is the price you pay.

The fixed price doesn't mean inflexible and you can continue to change your mind throughout the build, should you wish - although our robust development process is designed to search out any changes before the project commences, saving unnecessary expense.
