Industry research has shown that 90% of people who build their own home, don’t build again. It’s no wonder with stress, hidden costs, quality issues and hold ups playing a big part. But 25% of our new builds are actually old builds - people we’ve built with before. And when you look at the amount of our builds that are word of mouth referrals, it’s up over 50%.
So how do we consistently buck the trend and deliver our customers a truly satisfying experience? It’s because we deliver all of our builds to an agreed timeframe for a fixed price!
