Self Build Advisory

In case you are not sure how to go about the task, there are Self build advisory services to guide you. Insurance is very important during the self build project. You will have to protect you property against damage and theft, but more importantly you will have to protect your workers and the public against personal injury.

The consultant won't sell materials; they only ensure that you get what you want for the best price - whether its stick built, panelized, kit or a log home, they are there to help. You also choose the subcontractors. You can even do some of the work yourself if you want. This in itself is a complete build home kit self.


Most companies will offer you a free conservatory quote. You should allow a reasonable amount of time to be with the initial surveyor as there is a vast difference between conservatory products available on the market, and you need to know what you are buying.

They will need to visit your house and usually ask that all interested parties be present as there are many decisions to be made when considering a conservatory. They will establish the feasibility of the project and take some basic notes and drawings as to what is required.

You should demand for photographs and ask them to tell you all about their company and any independent accreditations they hold. Also, ask about their guarantees. Many of the major companies will then, subject to survey, give you an accurate quote.
