For Derby homeowners planning an extension, The Building Guys can review builder quotes, drawings, and site risks before money changes hands.

What the site visit covers

The in-person service is for homeowners who want practical advice before committing to a builder, layout, quote, or next stage.

Walk-through of the planned extension area
Review of quote, drawings, photos, or assumptions
Practical risks around access, layout, drainage, boundaries, and sequencing
Clear follow-up points to raise before committing

Why local matters

Some extension risks are much easier to understand on site. Access, levels, drainage, neighbours, boundaries, and existing structure can all change the advice.

If you are outside the visit area

The digital Quick Review and Detailed Quote Review are UK-wide, so you can still get independent advice on the quote, drawings, or project risk even if an in-person visit is not practical.

The position

Quote review is the doorway. Extension advice is the service.

Most homeowners first feel the problem when a builder quote lands, a deposit is requested, or two prices do not match. That is where TBG enters the conversation, then widens the advice to the project risk behind the quote.

Best next step

If you are not sure which route fits, start with the Quick Review. If you have multiple quotes or detailed drawings, use the detailed quote review or East Midlands site survey.

Quick answers

Is the site survey available UK-wide?

No. In-person visits are focused on Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, and Leicestershire. Online reviews are available UK-wide.

Can you review my quote during the visit?

Yes. The visit can include a practical review of the quote, drawings, scope, and site context.

Is this a formal structural survey?

No. It is practical pre-build advice, not a structural report, valuation, or legal service.
