What Size Building Company Should I Use For My New Home Build?

What Size Building Company Should I Use For My New Home Build?

The benefits of using large building companies is well-documented, they have "deep pockets” and are able to greatly influence supply-chains by gaining huge discounts on materials as a result, however, these benefits are not always passed on to their clients. They usually build in volumes, having a number of large projects on the go at any one time, so communication and personal service maybe lacking.

Smaller, one man band, companies are best avoided when it comes to larger building projects. Although there are numerous genuine smaller building companies out there many clients have fallen fowl to the ‘cowboy’ local builders in Dartford Kent, promising the earth and delivering an absolute mess, resulting in you having to spend even more thank your original budget to finish the work. You also don’t want to start the process with one builder and finish with another, it spoils the flow. The saying “buy cheap pay twice” really does apply when it comes to building works.

Medium size building companies appear to be the best choice when it comes to building your custom home. They operate in a similar way to the larger companies, however, they are happy to work with the client on a personal level and often share savings made on materials with their clients by providing a more competitive quote than the larger companies with higher overheads.


Below are my 5 simple reasons why I would consider employing a medium size building company, over the smaller or larger home builders, to build my bespoke home.
  • Medium size companies are more flexible with where they will work, their local resources will not be limited or focused on large projects out of your area.
  • They typically work on one or two major project at a time. As a result, they will have more time to interact with you, permitting you to make changes, plans allowing, to design features and interior decoration where you would like to do so. In comparison, larger companies are more generally focused on building developments, as appose to single homes. The style of house is usually pre-determined, with little or no possibility to make changes to the property. Their time, and your individual preferences, will be limited as they are usually on a much stricter schedule to complete. Therefore, their work ethos can have an adverse effect on your project due to their “knock them out” mentality, leaving little time for any personalised changes you may desire.
  • Building a completely customised new home is the norm for medium size building companies. They will be able to support you in numerous ways as they are experienced in similar projects to yours. Unlike the small building companies, a medium size builder will have good relationships and access to tried and tested tradesmen for your project. This means you will have a high quality build and with fewer delays in completing your project.
  • As medium size builders often work locally they will have a lot more knowledge about the local area and authorities, especially local planning authorities! They may also know more about the local landscape, for example, the land you intend to build on maybe clay based and require extra attention, and how to overcome these issues before starting the build. This kind of information is imperative to your build, you don’t want your new house sinking!
  • Reputation is a huge factor for local builders as they often gain much of their work through word of mouth so to underachieve would not be acceptable.

To conclude, larger building companies do carry the benefits of operating quickly, however, this comes at the price of lack of individualisation, that seemingly drove you to make the decision to build your home in the first place.

Small building companies may be cheaper but unlikely to have all the necessary resources and knowledge to achieve your vision. Beware, you may find yourself paying twice to complete your build!

A medium size building company will give you the time to explain your needs and recognise these necessities prior to starting on your project. They will have the resources and experience to build your bespoke dream home.

A bespoke home is based on your personal preferences, the style and design of your property is unique to you and you need a builder who can reflect this in your build by sharing your vision. Any worthy builder will take pride in their work and provide you an excellent service but if you want to play it safe and get the most out of your build I would recommend using a medium size building company. They will be reasonably priced, experienced and go the extra mile for you!
