Project Planner

What will it actually cost?

Five questions, about ninety seconds, and a real cost range for your property built from current West Sussex rates. The number appears as you answer it. Nothing is held back behind a form.

Step one

What are you planning?

Pick the closest. If it is a combination of two, choose the bigger one and mention the rest at the end.

Step two

What kind of property is it?

This changes the price more than most people expect. A solid wall Victorian house and a 1980s semi are two completely different jobs.

Step four

What level of finish are you after?

The structure costs roughly the same either way. Finish is where the range really opens up.

Step five

When would you want it done?

An honest answer here helps. We would rather book you in for the right month than promise you next week.

Last bit

Where shall we send the breakdown?

Your range is already showing. Leave your details and we will send the itemised breakdown over, then call to arrange a free site visit and turn it into a fixed written quote.

Why we show the number

Most builders make you sit through two visits before they mention money. That wastes your time and ours. If the range is wrong for your budget you should find that out in ninety seconds, not in a fortnight.

Where the figures come from

Current West Sussex build rates by project type and square metre, adjusted for property age and finish level. The same basis we use when we put a written quote together.

What happens next

A call within one working day, then a free site visit at a time that suits you, then a fixed written price with the inclusions, exclusions and unknowns all named. No obligation at any point.

Why it matters who you pick

Most of what goes wrong on a build has nothing to do with bricks.

It is communication, sequencing and who is accountable when something is uncovered. Here is the honest difference.

 
The usual builder
Harman
Who actually turns up
A different crew each week, and a manager you never meet
Wayne on site, running the job he priced
The quote
A number on the back of a page with no breakdown
An itemised written price, with the unknowns named upfront
Structural work
Steel sized by eye and hoped for
Engineer’s calculations and building control sign off, every time
The finish
Trades who each blame the last one
One carpenter’s eye across the whole job, first fix to final coat
Period properties
Solid walls treated like cavity walls, damp back within a year
Isotherm, breathable build ups and lath and plaster done properly
When it goes quiet
Weeks with nobody on site and no explanation
A start date we keep to, and a phone that gets answered
After you have paid
Good luck getting a call back
Still the same number, still the same person

Tell us what you are planning.

Whether it is a wall coming down or a whole house coming back to life, the first step is the same. A conversation, then a visit, then a written price you can actually rely on.
