The Build Options we offer our Clients are:
The Traditional option.
Our “Traditional option” is a build option where we quote you a price that includes Materials, Labour, Profit, and VAT. We ask for a substantial deposit upfront and further payments in 3 stages throughout the build with a final payment on completion. Very simple and straightforward and how the majority of this industry work. Red flags for the client….. you have always paid up front with the expectation your money is spent on your project. Red flags for the company, we purchase materials with the expectation we are going to be paid. Neither is guaranteed.
The Pay As You Go option.
This option costs less than the “Traditional” build. We will just as in the “Traditional” option provide quote that includes materials labour profit and Vat, and that’s all you pay. Our workforce are self employed and not Vat registered, and as the labour costs are approx. 50% of the total cost you are actually paying Vat that cannot be recovered. With PAYG the deposit is small. At the end of each week we ask you to pay the labour direct thus saving you the Vat that would normally have be added under the traditional option. Any business we deal with that is not Vat registered you again pay directly. We e mail you every Friday with amounts to pay and usually just 3 payments in total. A spreadsheet is kept up to date and sent out last post Friday, that way you know where every penny you have spent has gone. Payments are by bank transfer and It does mean you have to spend a very small amount of time each making payments but the money saved is well worth the effort as you can save up to £5,000 this way. This option is requested by 95% of our customers.
The First Fix option.
First fix is a Build Option to help your money go even further.
Created to help the DIY enthusiast.
