Compared four extension builders through BestBuilders for the Nairn job. Two FMB-affiliated builders, two not. Went with the one whose references checked out best. CCTV drain survey on day one, no surprises with hidden services. Came in ยฃ2100 under quote because the foundations were shallower than feared. Building control sign-off straightforward, no comeback.

Three years on, EPC went from D to B thanks to the spec they used. Builder we found via BestBuilders in Nairn persuaded us into a wider opening to the original house - the flow is so much better. Total ยฃ75000. EPC went up two bands - the new envelope spec made a real difference.
