Our cost control process gives clients their lifetime home
Project Background
Our clients held a long-term vision to build an oak framed home and had finally found a property in the ideal location. They had carried out significant research into options for building their new bespoke house. As busy, professional people, with a young family, they wanted to find a company that would work alongside them throughout the whole of the project.
They decided to work with an oak framing company offering a turnkey service. However, after the initial planning phase, they became concerned when the costs of the build itself seemed high. They also found the breakdown of costs wasn’t giving them a sufficient understanding of where their money would be spent or that everything they needed for completion of the project was included.
They came to Complete Oak Home as they understood that we would provide them with the clarity of detail and independence they needed. Together, we evaluated the design and made design changes they felt were necessary. This resulted in a re-submission for planning approval. The previous company had offered an ‘off the shelf’ design with some customisation to suit the client. However, on reflection, they felt this didn’t give them quite what they were looking for and if they were going to build their lifetime home they really wanted to get it right.
