How to Compare Quotes + Budget Creep
This session will help homeowners understand how to compare renovation quotes effectively and avoid common pitfalls that lead to budget creep. It will break down what to look for in quotes beyond just the price — like scope, materials and timelines. Clients will learn how small changes and unclear allowances can cause costs to spiral. We will discuss how some contractors have hidden costs at quotation and how a budget can grow during the construction phase. With the right approach, clients can make informed decisions and keep their renovations on budget.

We will also share tips on how to improve your chances of approval, especially for extensions and full refurbishments in London. It’s a must-listen for anyone planning a renovation that needs council approval.
