Plain-English Builder Quote Review

Upload your builder's quotation and we will explain what it actually covers, where the gaps usually are, and the specific questions to put in writing before you commit.

Choose the level of help you need

Every option is carried out personally by Oliver Franklin, a working UK builder with 38 years in the trade. All are document and advice services, not legal, structural or surveying advice.

Scope of this service

This is a practical document review, not legal, surveying, structural engineering, architectural, planning or Building Control advice. We comment on how the quotation is written and what a homeowner should clarify. We do not inspect your property, assess structural matters or advise on your legal position.
