Is your builder's quote fair?
Enter the quote and what it covers. You'll see how it compares with our estimate for the same job, what's missing, and which terms to question before you sign.
Compared with our estimate
| Your quote, including VAT | |
| Our estimate for the same scope | |
| Range we'd call normal |
A guide only. Our estimate uses national rates adjusted for region and finish; your site, design and the builder's workload all move real prices. Nothing you enter leaves your device.
Getting a quote you can compare
- Give every builder the same drawings and the same specification, so the quotes cover the same job.
- Ask for prices split by stage or trade. A single lump sum hides what's been left out.
- Ask how "provisional sums" are worked out: they're guesses that can grow.
- Keep a contingency of around 10% outside the contract for surprises.
