Stay safe when hiring

  • Get a written quote before any work starts. Be wary of anyone who asks for the full amount upfront.
  • For gas work, check the engineer on the Gas Safe Register. For electrical work, check the Electrical Competent Person register.
  • Pay by card where you can. It usually gives you more protection than cash or a bank transfer.
  • Keep messages on fliq. Be cautious if you are asked to move to WhatsApp or email.

Description

Building a house from scratch typically takes between 9 and 14 months from groundworks through to final completion, depending on the size of the property, design complexity, and prevailing weather conditions. Larger or more architecturally complex builds can take longer. William Bowley agrees a realistic build programme with every client at the outset, based on their specific project, and manages it closely throughout construction.
