FAQs
Common questions before starting a project.
These answers explain how our service works, what you can expect from us, and where the final decisions about your project always remain with you.
Does My Build My Way choose the builder for me? add
No. We help you understand your brief and compare suitable builders, but the final choice of builder is always yours.
How many quotes will I receive? add
Where suitable builders are available we aim to put forward up to three quotes for you to compare. The exact number depends on your project type, location, timing and builder availability.
Do I need planning permission before getting started? add
Not always, but builder pricing is much clearer when permissions, drawings and specifications are settled or at least well understood.
Can you help with quote comparison? add
Yes. We help you look at what is included, what is excluded and where assumptions can make quotes hard to compare on a like-for-like basis.
What checks do you carry out on the builders? add
Background checks include trading history, references, reviews, relevant project experience and documentation such as insurance.
Is every project suitable for the service? add
No. Some projects need more design information, permissions or specialist input before builder introductions are useful, and we will tell you if that is the case.
What does the service cost? add
Our service to homeowners is free at the introduction and quote-comparison stage. The cost of the work itself sits with the builder you choose.
Where do you cover? add
Most of the projects we work on are in London, Kent and the wider South East. Get in touch if you are unsure whether your area is covered.
