Should I choose the cheapest builder?
Price matters, but scope, communication, capability and clarity are also important.

Builder quote checklist: what should be included?
A low total can be misleading if key work is excluded. Clear quotations should help you understand what is included, what is assumed and what may change.
What to do next
A sensible first check
✓ Compare the same drawings or written scope
✓ Check demolition, waste, access and making good
✓ Clarify who supplies finishes and specialist items
✓ Understand payment stages and how variations are agreed
When should you act?
Resolve major ambiguities before work starts, not after the first invoice.
This page is general guidance, not a diagnosis. If the issue involves immediate danger, active water near electrics, fire, gas, structural instability, unsafe working at height or another urgent safety risk, use an appropriately qualified professional or emergency service rather than relying on online advice.
