Create the space you need in the home you love. We build carefully considered extensions that complement your property, protecting the existing house and keeping disruption to a minimum throughout the work.
From an extra room to a complete transformation of your ground floor, we manage every stage, from structural alterations and steelwork to the final finishes, ensuring the existing home and new space come together seamlessly.
We agree the deposit and payment schedule before work begins. Payments are then made at the stages set out in your quotation or contract, so you know what is due and when. The deposit amount depends on the project.
Our quotation is based on the drawings and scope agreed at the outset. If you change the plans, or we uncover something that could not reasonably have been identified beforehand, we’ll explain the options and any effect on the price before the additional work goes ahead.
Yes. We set out the agreed scope of work, price and payment terms in writing before work starts. For larger projects, the agreement also covers the programme and how any changes will be managed. That gives everyone a clear understanding of what has been agreed.
We provide a clear breakdown of the proposed work so you can understand what the price covers. The level of detail will depend on the drawings and information available, but we’ll talk you through the quotation and answer any questions before you decide to proceed.
Paul stays involved throughout the project, working closely with the team responsible for the day-to-day work on site. You’ll know who your main point of contact is and who to speak to when you have a question.
Yes, we may have other projects under way. We plan our team, trades and programme around each job so the work has the attention and site management it needs.
We’ll keep you informed as the work moves through each stage, including any decisions we need from you. If something changes on site that could affect the scope, cost or schedule, we’ll talk it through with you as early as possible.
We agree a programme before work starts and coordinate the trades around it. Construction can be affected by weather, deliveries, site conditions or changes to the plans. If something is likely to affect the schedule, we’ll explain what has happened and work through the next steps with you.
Yes. If you’d like to change something, let us know as early as you can. We’ll explain how it would affect the work, price and schedule, then agree the change with you before going ahead.
That depends on the extent of the work and which parts of the house will be affected. We’ll discuss it with you during the site visit and plan how to protect and separate the areas you’ll still be using where possible. There will be some dust and disruption, but we’ll be clear about what to expect before work starts.
Garvey Building Contractors is a member of the Construction Industry Federation. We can provide details of our relevant insurance and company documentation before work begins, so you know who you’re appointing and what cover is in place.
Paul has worked in construction for over 22 years. He completed his training with Cosgrave Developments before spending nine years in Australia, where he ran his own business and worked across residential, commercial and government projects. Today, he brings that experience to Garvey Building alongside a close team and trusted trades. We’re happy to show you relevant projects and client references.
Yes. We work with architects, engineers and other design professionals from pricing through to construction. We review the drawings carefully, raise questions where details need clarifying and stay in contact with the design team as work progresses.
We walk through the finished work with you and record anything that needs attention. We then agree how the remaining items will be completed and provide the relevant handover information for your project.
Contact us directly and we’ll review the issue with you. If it relates to our work, we’ll explain the next steps and deal with it in line with the project agreement and any applicable cover.
At Garvey Building, we pride ourselves on keeping our sites clean, tidy and well organised throughout the build. Construction work brings some dust and disruption, but we take care to manage it, respect neighbouring properties and leave the site clean at handover.
You are trusting us to open up part of your home, bring trades through it, manage the mess, protect the parts that are staying and leave the new space looking like it belongs.
Before work starts, we visit the house, check the drawings against what is actually there and talk through access, protection, steelwork, services, finish and the order of work. You know who is responsible and how the job is going to be handled.
If something changes the cost or timing, we talk it through before the work moves on. The extension is built to a high standard, adds real value and improves how the home works, without leaving you guessing what is happening next.
We've completed more than 1,500+ projects over the years, and we bring that experience and practical expertise to every bespoke home, multi-unit residential development and commercial build we take on.
