The brief

Burned once before.
Won't happen here.

The clients had been through a build with another contractor where every detail became a variation opportunity. Their brief was direct: price it honestly up front, deliver it to that price, and if something changes we agree it in writing before you swing a hammer.

The brief
How we delivered

Site verified,
price held.

We ran a full pre-price site verification — ground assessment, existing structure review, and access planning — before signing contract. Scope and allowances were agreed in writing. One LBP supervised every element from foundations to handover. Trades were vetted, briefed, and sequenced to the agreed programme.

How we delivered
Outcome

Zero surprise
variations.

Handed over on the contracted price. Clients now refer us to architects in their network — the best kind of review.
