WHAT DOES BUILDER CONSULT ACTUALLY DO?

Think of us as your construction expert in your corner.

Building an extension? Renovating your home? Planning a new build? Or already halfway through a project and worried something isn’t right?

Builder Consult gives homeowners independent, professional construction advice before, during and when things go wrong.

We can help with:

Quote Reviews
Not sure if a builder’s quote is fair? We’ll go through it, check what’s included, highlight anything missing and help you understand exactly what you’re paying for.

Site Visits & Inspections
We can visit your project, look at the work being carried out and identify potential concerns before they become expensive problems.

Project Planning
We can help you understand the order of works, realistic timescales, budgets and what should happen next.

Builder & Contractor Support
Need help choosing a builder or communicating with contractors? We can help you ask the right questions and make informed decisions.

Ongoing Project Support
You don’t necessarily need a full-time project manager. We can simply be there when you need experienced advice throughout your build.

Something doesn’t look right?

If your project is already underway and you’re worried about workmanship, delays, unexpected costs or communication with your builder, contact us before the problem gets bigger.

With years of hands-on construction and site-management experience, we explain things in plain English — not building jargon.

Survival for this weather!!!

Control cash flow first (this is survival)

Bad weather doesn’t just stop work — it kills cash flow if you let it.

Do this immediately:
• Pause non-essential spend (new tools, vans, subscriptions, upgrades).
• Chase outstanding invoices early — don’t wait for “normal” terms.
• Reforecast weekly, not monthly. You need to know this Friday, not end of quarter.

To Builders Struggling With the Weather – A Bit of Straight Advice

This weather is brutal. Constant rain, high winds, waterlogged ground — and for a lot of builders it means one thing: no work, no income, and bills still going out.

If you’re trying to keep your business alive through it, here are a few hard-earned tips:

• Don’t force unsafe work – Accidents, failed inspections, and call-backs will cost far more than a delayed job
• Communicate early – Speak to clients before they get frustrated. Most people are reasonable when they understand the risks
• Re-sequence work – Look at what can be done safely: prep, measuring, ordering, planning, snagging, quotes
• Protect cash flow – Chase outstanding payments, pause unnecessary spending, and avoid taking on loss-making work
• Look after your lads – Reduced hours are better than injuries, claims, or losing good workers long-term
• Document everything – Photos, weather records, site notes — protect yourself if disputes arise later

Extreme Rain & Wind – A Bit of Honest Building Advice

With the weather we’re having across Cornwall at the moment, we’ve had a lot of homeowners asking why work has slowed or stopped on site.

The truth is simple: some building work should not be carried out in heavy rain or high winds — and pushing on regardless often causes more problems (and costs) later.
