Useful to know

Questions, answered

Could you deliver a similar project to this E7, East London home?
We can review a similar brief with you. The work shown here is extension + internal reconfiguration. Your existing structure, access, approvals and specification will determine the right scope and construction approach for your property.
Can I bring my own architect or drawings?
Bring your own architect or choose one we recommend. Either way, Better Homes builds your home and can manage the coordination for you: arranging discussions, following up questions and speaking on your behalf with your agreement. You stay in control of the design, budget and approvals. Your architect prepares the drawings and agreed professional submissions; we manage construction. Our proposal sets out the coordination support you want, each appointment and the fees before you commit.
Will my project cost the same as this one?
Each quotation is based on the property and agreed scope. Photographs cannot establish structural work, access constraints, services or product allowances. Share your brief and drawings so we can discuss a realistic budget.
