Independent advice before commitment
Home extension advice before you build
Before you choose a builder or approve a design, get a practical second opinion on the quote, drawings, assumptions, and risks around the extension.
Online or in person
Online reviews are available UK-wide. In-person site surveys are available across Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, and Leicestershire.
Why before the build matters
Early advice is cheaper than late dispute resolution. The goal is to catch avoidable problems while you still have choices.
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.
Start Quick ReviewQuick answers
Is this just for quotes?
No. Quote review is often the starting point, but wider extension advice can include drawings, plans, site risks, and builder questions.
Can you visit the property?
Yes, for East Midlands projects. For other areas, the digital review route is usually the best fit.
