Know what you’re agreeing to

A second pair of eyes.
A more informed decision.

Two quotations can look similar and include very different things. Builder’s Eye helps you compare the detail, identify gaps and ask useful questions before you choose a contractor or agree your scope.

01 / THE DOCUMENTS

Understand the project

Review your drawings and supporting documents to flag unclear scope, missing information and practical questions that could affect pricing or delivery.

02 / THE QUOTATIONS

Compare what’s included

Look beyond the headline totals. We examine allowances, exclusions and differences in scope so you can see where the quotations genuinely differ.

03 / THE NEXT STEPS

Know what to ask

Receive a structured review with clear observations, questions for your builder or design team, and practical recommendations for moving forward.

Experience from the site

Advice grounded
in building homes.

The detail you clarify now can make a real difference later.

Builder’s Eye was created to give homeowners a practical, experienced view of their building project before they commit. The service draws on more than 25 years of residential construction and project management experience, from new homes to extensions and full refurbishments.

That experience brings a practical view of how drawings, budgets and site work fit together — and where assumptions can turn into difficult conversations.

This is an advisory review of your project and quotations. The aim is to help you make your own informed choice of builder, with clearer information and a better understanding of the questions to resolve.

One review. A clear price.

How it works

Start with a conversation.

1

Tell us where you are

Email a brief outline of your project, its location and whether you’ve received builders’ quotations.

We confirm that your documents are ready for review and agree the delivery date. The Project & Quotation Review has a fixed price of £1,500.

3

Make your next decision

Use the review to clarify scope, follow up on gaps and have more informed conversations with your builder and design team.

Do I need to have all my builders’ quotations?

No. Tell us what you have and where you are in the process. Comparing quotations is most useful when there is a clear set of project documents and more than one quotation, but a document review can help identify questions before you go out to tender.

Is this a survey or a replacement for my architect?

No. Builder’s Eye provides practical project and quotation advice. It does not replace a building survey, structural design, statutory approvals or the responsibilities of your architect, engineer or other appointed professionals.

How much does a review cost?

The Project & Quotation Review is £1,500. It includes a review of your project documents and builders’ quotations, a written report highlighting differences, gaps and questions, and a follow-up discussion of the findings.
