New Home Builder

When building a new home, invest in a knowledgeable architect to help you find a good new home builder.

An architect can draw up proper plans and will understand the building rules and regulations – so you donít waste your time submitting plans, which will be rejected straight away. An architect will also be able to tell you what is feasible and what will be too expensive – and offer alternatives. Did you know, for example, that if you want a downstairs toilet to your property it has to be large enough to accommodate someone in a wheelchair (even if access to your house itself is up several steps, which a wheelchair cannot get up! Bonkers, but true).

Even if someone you know and trust has recommended the best builder or best contractor in Sutton Coldfield, or Birmingham, or West Midlands, make sure you get at least three quotes from three different local builders or local contractors – and quotes that break down the work they will do for you, so you can compare prices and make an informed decision of whom to use.
