Yes, they will. All project costs are agreed upon before work begins.

We will work closely with you to ensure the budget reflects the agreed design, materials and timescale.

Does Booth Construction use sub-contractors?

Yes, we do. Booth Construction uses trusted and experienced sub-contractors for the specific necessary trades (such as plumbing, electricals and plastering). These professionals are always carefully selected to meet our high standards and, in many cases, have worked with Booth Construction for several years. We maintain full oversight and project management throughout, making sure that the quality and coordination of work meets our expectations.

Can I live in my home during the refurbishment?

Depending on the extent of the renovation, it may be possible to remain in your home. However, be prepared for construction noise, dust, and potential disruptions to utilities. Some homeowners choose to stay elsewhere during major renovations to avoid these inconveniences.

What should I do to prepare my home for refurbishment?

Preparation steps may include clearing out the areas to be renovated, setting up temporary living spaces if necessary, and communicating with your contractor about access and work schedules. Proper planning can help minimise disruptions and facilitate a smoother renovation process.

How long does a typical house refurbishment take?

The duration of a house refurbishment varies depending on the project’s scope and complexity. For example, a kitchen remodel might take several weeks to a few months. ​
