Double-storey rear extension. We’d quoted, the client was keen.

Then their architect recommended a builder he’d worked with before, and that was that.

No hard feelings — an architect’s recommendation carries weight, and it should.

But here’s something worth knowing if you’re going down that route.

An architect designs the building. They don’t always price the build, manage the trades, or carry the liability once work starts. A builder recommended for being easy to work with on paper isn’t automatically the one who’ll deliver it best on site.

Ask the recommended builder the same questions you’d ask anyone. Who does the work. What’s not included. Whether they handle building control.

A recommendation is a starting point, not a reason to stop checking.

Full bathroom, good spec. We quoted properly and gave them a realistic start date — a few weeks out.

Another firm could start that week. The client went with them.

Here’s the part worth knowing.

The contractors doing proper work are usually booked. A short wait normally means other people want them too.

A firm that can start immediately is telling you one of two things. Either it’s quiet for them right now — worth asking why. Or they take on more than they can handle, start your job, then disappear to juggle the next.

We weren’t free that week because we were finishing another project. That’s the same care the next client gets.

Availability feels like a win. It’s worth a second look before you celebrate it.
