What to include in your builder quote request
Ask every builder to price the same drawings, structural assumptions, and provisional sums.
Confirm whether scaffolding, waste removal, skips, and temporary protection are included or excluded.
Get stage payments tied to visible milestones instead of open-ended weekly billing.
Make sure building control, structural engineer sign-off, and making-good items are priced explicitly.
Confirm the postcode district, parking restrictions, access route, and preferred working hours.
Red flags before hiring
Large cash deposits before materials, drawings, or programme details are agreed.
Quotes that ignore structural unknowns but still promise a fixed total and start date.
Refusal to discuss insurance, references, or who is responsible for building control coordination.
Pressure to skip written scope, staged payments, or neighbour access planning.
Quotes that ignore access, waste, permits, or travel time across the HG area.
