How our UK building quote process works
- Tell us about your project. Use the quote form to describe the works, location, timescale and approximate budget. The more detail you provide, the more accurate your quotes will be.
- We match you with suitable builders. Based on your postcode and project type, we connect you with trusted building companies that work in your area and have relevant experience.
- Discuss your plans. Builders may contact you to arrange a site visit, request drawings, or clarify your requirements before issuing a detailed quotation.
- Receive and compare quotes. Review each quote carefully, looking at scope of works, materials, payment schedule and expected start date. Ask questions until you are completely clear.
- Choose the right builder for you. Once happy with a quote, you can move forward directly with the builder you select and agree a contract that protects both parties.
Our goal is to make it easier for homeowners, landlords and developers across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to obtain clear, competitive quotes for all kinds of domestic and light commercial building projects.
What information helps you get an accurate quote?
When you request a building quote in the UK, builders will usually ask for:
- Property type (terraced, semi-detached, detached, flat, bungalow, etc.)
- Location and access (parking, scaffolding requirements, shared access)
- Architectural drawings, sketches or planning approvals, if available
- Preferred materials and finishes (standard vs premium)
- Structural changes required, such as removing load-bearing walls
- Any known issues (damp, subsidence, restricted access, listed status)
- Your ideal start date and any fixed deadlines
Include as much of this as you can in the project details field. If you are unsure, your chosen builder can guide you through what is needed during the quoting stage.

Frequently asked questions about building quotes in the UK
In the UK it is common to obtain at least three quotes for any sizeable building project. This helps you understand a fair market price and highlights any unusually low or high estimates. When you request a quote through Best Builders, we aim to introduce you to multiple suitable contractors, so you can compare like-for-like proposals.
Most builders will provide a detailed written quotation that sets out what is included and excluded. Some items may be listed as provisional sums where exact costs depend on site conditions or final specifications. Always review the terms carefully and clarify anything that is not clear before accepting a quote.
No. Requesting a quote through Best Builders is completely free and carries no obligation to proceed. Use the quotes to plan your budget, explore design options or compare against other offers. Only once you sign a contract directly with a builder are you committed.
Response times vary depending on project complexity and builder availability, but many homeowners start hearing back within a few working days. Larger projects that require drawings, structural input or site visits can take longer to price accurately. Providing clear information upfront helps speed up the process.
Tips for comparing building quotes fairly
When you receive multiple quotes, focus on value rather than just the lowest number. A thorough, well-presented quotation often reflects good organisation and professionalism.
- Check the scope: Ensure each quote covers the same work, materials and finishes so you are comparing like for like.
- Look at allowances: Review provisional sums and prime cost allowances for items such as kitchens, bathrooms and floor finishes.
- Clarify exclusions: Ask about items not included, such as planning fees, building control fees, party wall surveyors or landscaping.
- Consider experience: Choose a builder with a track record in projects similar to yours, ideally in your part of the UK.
- Discuss timelines: A realistic start date and clear programme can be more valuable than a slightly cheaper quote.
