What your project can include
Extensions and masonry
New rooms involve more than the visible walls. Discuss foundations, openings, services and the relationship to the existing building, with the appropriate design information available before pricing.
Alterations to existing homes
Changing the layout or adding an opening can affect structure, services and finishes. A clear description of what will be removed, retained and rebuilt helps contractors assess the work.
Coordinated residential projects
Roofing, windows, plumbing and finishing trades need a sensible sequence. Agree responsibilities and the level of completion expected, from structural work through to final finishes.
Before the site discussion
A little preparation helps
- Have drawings and any existing approval documents ready where applicable.
- Write a clear list of the spaces being added or altered.
- Share access constraints, occupancy plans and your intended budget range.
What affects the quote?
Scale, site access, ground conditions, structural requirements and the level of finish all affect cost. Ask for an itemised scope, exclusions and a process for agreeing changes. Design, professional services and approvals should be clarified rather than assumed to be included.
Discuss the scope, availability and pricing during the site visit, then review each contractor’s quotation independently.

Useful to know
Building questions
Do I need drawings before requesting a contractor?
You can start a conversation with a project outline, but meaningful pricing for substantial work usually needs clearer design information. Discuss the documents required for your specific project.
Can I stay in the house during alterations?
That depends on the extent of the work and how access and services can be managed. Agree working areas, protection, security and temporary arrangements before starting.
Can several services be included in one request?
Yes. Select the relevant services in one enquiry so we can coordinate a single initial site visit with suitable vetted contractors. Each contractor issues their own quotation, and you can accept or decline each one independently.
