Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars5 November 2025
“We engaged Josh at The House Architects to conduct a deep retrofit as well as future proofing our home. Josh got us a great builder and the two of them worked so well together to deliver a really beautiful, energy efficient, A1 rated home. They also helped us through the process of getting the SEAI grants. We are delighted with the results and would have no hesitation in recommending Josh and The House Architects.”

“A huge thank you to Michael and the team. From the initial meeting, it was very clear Michael and co were listening to what we were asking. They made the process very easy. I can highly recommend working with McKenna and Assoc, everything was clean and professional from start to finish. Thank you to the whole team for your hard work on our forever home.”

“Eva provided a house consultation for us a few years ago. We finally found a builder this year and carried out the recommendations pretty much exactly as suggested. We are delighted with how it turned out and want to pass on our gratitude on an excellent design. It was not straightforward so her expertise was much appreciated. Our downstairs layout works much better for us now and the kitchen much brighter and roomier. Top marks. Thanks so much.”

Builder FAQs
There are several reasons why you should hire a local builder:
  1. Local builders will be familiar with your local authorities building regulations, being able to advise on any relevant permits you need before work can begin.
  2. Builders near you will be aware of the climate of your area, and can recommend materials and construction methods suitable for your area.
  3. Building firms nearby will provide quicker responses and quotes compared to contractors outside of your local area, as they are nearby, they will often drop in to talk to you about your project and view the property.

For home builders, you will usually receive a quote for a building project instead of daily rates or hourly fees. The cost depends on various factors such as the type of job, builders experience and length of the project.

Expect to pay less for a small maintenance job such as brickwork repair or an extension of an existing wall than a new build project such as a kitchen or bathroom renovation and home extensions. After you’ve found a local builder for your project, speaking with them in detail about your project will help them give you an accurate estimate for the work required.
If you hire a home builder for a lengthy project, such as an extension, your builder may charge a daily rate. You can expect to pay around £350 per day for this. If your builder charges this way, ask for an estimation of how long this will take so you know roughly how much the total cost will be.
You can find a local builder with Houzz in two ways:

  1. Answer a few questions about your project to get matched with a local professional for free. Enter your postcode above to get started.
  2. Browse through our list of the best builders where you can find their profiles, reviews and photos of past work.

After choosing either option, you can reach out to the builders you want to discuss your project with. You can request and compare quotes before hiring the right builder for you.
When looking for a building company to take on your project, you will want to know that they will be able to handle the job in good time and sticking to your agreed budget. A professional contractor will have worked on projects like yours previously and they will know exactly what to do.

Compile a shortlist of at least three builders that can handle the full scope of works, either by themselves or through sub-contracting. It is often a good idea to play devils advocate and ask what the builder will not be responsible for. Be wary of unusually cheap quotes. Ask for references and stories about how the builder has met different challenges along the way. If you can, you could try to see previous projects and talk to previous clients, or if not, read reviews, and ratings, and look at detailed photos of projects. All of which you can find on Houzz.
