Builder quotes: what to check before you accept
A building quotation is the only document most homeowners get before they commit thousands of pounds, and it is usually the least examined. Two quotations for the same extension can differ by £20,000 simply because one of them prices the groundworks, the scaffolding and the making good, and the other quietly leaves them out.
These guides explain what a quotation should state, how to read the gaps, and how to put three prices on the same footing so you are comparing the same job rather than three different jobs.
