We know there are three things that matter on any building job: quality, reliability and an agreed budget. We know how important the costs of a project are to everyone concerned.

Being locally well known to building trade suppliers, and with a big purchase order book, Castle Building gets the advantage of some very good discounts on materials. Combined with our own competitively priced labour force, we believe we can better than match other building firms on price and quality.

And at Castle, we know how important it is that we and the customer have a clear understanding of how much the project will cost.

However, individual projects vary greatly, from simple house extensions, where everything we do is quantifiable from the outset, (and therefore easy to give a fixed price on) to, for example, large refurbishments of heritage buildings.

The simpler and more quantifiable jobs, like house extensions, or any new build, will often suit a straightforward quote and fixed price contract.

The older building refurbishment may be better treated either as a quote with extensive use of provisional sums (against unknown problems that often do crop us with old buildings), or on a work plus materials basis.

Each project is different. You may want to take advice from a professional in the field, for example a quantity surveyor, or you may already have the services and advice of your own architect.

Whatever way you wish to finance the project, Castle can work with you, and your advisers and provide an excellent, competitively costed result.
