SPECIALIST BUILDING & BUILDERS - REGULATIONS & REGULATORY BODIES UK

Regulatory navigation UK:

Check all qualifications and several references before employing builders. Personal recommendation is also good as a first step.

Quotations for work - generally you get what you pay for, a cheap builder is often slow or low quality, but this might be OK if that is what you want. More expensive top-end builders will also do professional project management and can do the whole job with less stress.
