Tip 1: Start Your Project With a Designer
Always start your extension project with a Creative Designer. Never use a family friend or a builder who won't have the experience or skills to guide you towards the best outcome in terms of design + added value.
Tip 2: Use Smaller Companies to Get Better Prices
Using a Main Contractor to build your extension is the quickest build route but if your budget is tight you should break the job down and use Smaller Businesses & Trades as you can save 25%/40% on your build costs.
Tip 3: Buy Your Windows & Doors Direct
Where possible, buy your Windows & Doors Direct & Include a Quote for Installation.
Don't let the builders supply the Double Glazing as they will add 20%/50% on top.
Tip 4: Don't Let The Kitchen Company Fit Your Kitchen
Kitchen Companies such as Wren, Magnet and Wickes charge a small fortune to install your kitchen. It's far cheaper to use local kitchen installers to install your new kitchen.
Tip 5: Don't Let Your Kitchen Company Supply Appliances
You can find far better deals on big brand kitchen appliances, sinks and taps by shopping around.
Don't let the kitchen companies sell you discontinued appliance ranges or cheap unknown brands.
