A cheaper quote is not always a better quote.
Two builders can price the same project very differently, but the difference is not always profit. Sometimes one quote includes more detail, clearer allowances, better specification, or fewer hidden assumptions.

Preview a sample Independent Quote Review
Before submitting your builder’s quote, you can view an example BuildFairUK report to understand the style, structure and level of detail you’ll receive.
The sample report shows how we highlight unclear wording, missing items, provisional sums, pricing considerations and practical questions to raise before committing.
“Allow £4,500 for kitchen — final to be agreed with supplier.”Extract from builder’s quote — item 7.2
This is a provisional sum, not a fixed price. A £4,500 allowance is low for a supplied-and-fitted kitchen and is likely to increase once the supplier is chosen. The quote does not specify worktop type, appliance allowance, or who is responsible for plumbing and electrical connections.
- • Worktop material and edge profile not stated
- • Appliance package — integrated vs freestanding
- • 1st and 2nd fix plumbing & electrical connections
- • Removal and disposal of existing kitchen
“Can the kitchen allowance be replaced with a fixed price once the supplier is chosen, and confirm exactly what’s included?”
