Why should u choose a company that deals only with Basement Shell, Over a basement conversion company that supplies everything in one package.
The reason why basement shell companies are better to choose than a overall basement company, is because they will work out cheaper in the end. And you are guaranteed to get top quality work. As this is solely what they do. They will complete the structure of the Basement and the Waterproofing.
Most Basement companies that carry out the full basement are much more expensive, as they will often sub out the basement shell and put 30% on top and give this quote to the customer. There is so much work in a full basement that the customer will not even be aware that they are paying that extra 30% for a shell.
We are a Basement Shell company and we find a lot of basement companies, come to us looking for a quote. When we ask them why they require a quote when they are also a basement company, their response is,We do the rest of the basement fit out but can not do the structural work for a Shell.
If you are getting a new Basement done, or getting an Existing basement lowered, you should always get three quotes and ask for a detailed quote. That way you can see what you are getting and see which price is best. You will be able to see who is a Direct Basement shell company, as they will be able to offer a quote a lot quicker, as the other Basement companies will need to put the basement out to a shell company and wait for them to get back to them, before they will be able to offer you an over all price.
You should also ask for a price for the Shell of the Basement, and the price for the Waterproofing then a price for the first and second fixings.
The hardest part of any Basement, and the thing that will cost the most will always be The structural work.
By using a Basement Shell company directly, you will save a lot of money and time, as you will be paying them and dealing with them directly.
A basement company can offer you a rough quote if you only supply architects drawings, however if you can supply structural drawings, then in many cases they will not need to visit the site for a visit, and they will be able to offer you a final quote. By using the structural drawings, saving time for site visits. We know time is valuable.
In my opinion it's always best to get A Basement Shell Company to do All The Structural Work.
That way you are guaranteed to save time, money and get Good Quality Woke Done.
Once the structural work is completed it's easy to get in individual trades to complete the rest.
Some homeowners like to also complete some stages by themselves to save money, by doing it this way you can choose what you want to do yourself to save money, or you can hold of the build for a while if you need to raise more finance.
We have found lately that a lot more customers are now coming directly to us first now, as they realise that it works out much cheaper.
