Headline prices are misleading
The cheapest quote may be missing items. The highest quote may be carrying real risk. The only useful comparison is scope against scope.

Compare builder quotes before choosing
Two builder quotes can be thousands apart because they are pricing different assumptions. We help homeowners understand what is actually included before choosing.
What we normalise
We look across the quotes for differences in what each builder has included, excluded, assumed, or left open.
- VAT treatment
- Provisional sums
- Groundworks and drainage
- Windows, doors, kitchens, and finishes
- Building control and structural items
- Payment terms and variation wording
The decision output
You get a clearer view of which quote is most complete, which risks need questions, and where not to be seduced by a low headline number.
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.

Can I send more than three quotes?

No. We give you the risks and comparison points so you can make a better decision.
