Independent builder quote reviews for UK homeowners
BuildFairUK helps homeowners understand builder quotes before committing — highlighting unclear pricing, missing scope, provisional sums, exclusions, and practical questions to ask before work begins.
A clearer way to check a builder’s quote.
BuildFairUK was created to give homeowners a clearer, more independent way to check whether a builder’s quote is detailed, fair, and understandable before they commit.
Builder quotes can be difficult to compare. Some are detailed and transparent, while others leave important items unclear. BuildFairUK exists to help homeowners understand what they have been given, what may be missing, and what questions should be asked before agreeing to proceed.
We work for the homeowner. Nobody else.
- We do not recommend builders
- We do not sell customer leads
- We do not take referral fees
- We do not earn commission from contractors
- We are paid only by the homeowner for the quote review
- Our role is to review the documents provided and explain the risks clearly
Our advice is not influenced by builders, suppliers, referral partners, or commission arrangements. The only person we are working for is the homeowner who asks us to review their quote.
What we look for in your quote
- Whether the quote clearly explains what is included
- Whether important items appear to be missing
- Whether provisional sums or PC sums are clearly explained
- Whether the scope of works is detailed enough
- Whether exclusions are obvious
- Whether payment terms or assumptions need questioning
- Whether the quote gives enough information to compare against other builders
- Whether there are practical questions the homeowner should ask before proceeding
What BuildFairUK does not do
Being clear about our limits is part of being independent.
- We do not carry out building surveys
- We do not inspect the property
- We do not provide legal advice
- We do not certify or approve a builder
- We do not guarantee the final project cost
- We do not prepare a full bill of quantities
- We do not replace professional advice from a solicitor, architect, surveyor, structural engineer, or building control officer
Our Quote Health Check is a document review only. It is designed to help you understand the quote you have received, not to replace formal professional advice where that is required.
