Firstly, find out whether you need planning permission. The planning portal www.planningportal.co.uk is a great resource and will help you find the information you need with regards to planning and building regulations.

Finding an architect or local planning agent that you like and trust is important. At Grant Builders, we work hard to forge links with various planning agents, structural engineers and surveyors to create great working relationships. Please contact us if you need a recommendation when appointing a planning agent, structural engineer and surveyor.

You can contact us by telephone or email. If you have lots of information to send, feel free to email it and we will get back to you. If you wish to chat over the phone, we are always available to discuss your project.

If you’re considering a construction project our advice is to get in contact with us as early as possible during the design phase. Our combined experience alongside an architect or designer leads to well-designed and complete projects, that come in under budget and on time. Asking us for advice early on is cost-free – our main concern is starting a project the right way to control all the variables and manage risk. This entails numerous benefits for your project.

Yes. The vast majority of our jobs include us sourcing all materials, handling all personnel and ensuring the project is completed to the highest standard. This is included in our service. Our experience has shown that customers who attempt to project manage multiple tradesman and sourcing materials themselves more often than not turns into a false economy with no savings and increased overall costs. You will have a much better experience contracting a company to complete your project from start to finish.

A detailed contract will be drawn up which will state set milestones customised to your project/works when interim payments will be required. The final payment will be required only once all works are completed.

This is usually six months. If you require a longer price guarantee, please speak to us.
