Yes. We don't expect our platform to turn everyone into building professionals but we are sure that it can help inform people of the practical steps needed to explore your self build options. The content at the very least will give you the confidence to communicate effectively with industry professionals and contractors alike and stay in control of your finances better then most.
Because we are self-builders ourselves!
OK, so we do have experience across a wide range of construction roles including architectural design, builders merchant account management, setting-out engineering, site management, contracts management, estimating and quantity surveying which helps us along the way but we think our USP is our knowledge of self building learned from our recent personal projects.
Its also worth noting here that we come from a main-contracting background, not consultancy. Main-contractors generally make money by finishing on time and on or under budget. Our careers mean we know how to design and build, get a good deal, communicate with contractors, build safely and finish on time and budget and this platform hopes to share some of that knowledge with you.
Yes of course and it is easy to do. Simply scroll up on this page, click the 'Get Premium Access' button and follow the instructions. Within minutes you will have access to ALL industry processes, guides and templates
Sorry no. Our premium access provides you with additional industry tools and guidance that allows YOU to successfully navigate the self build route. To find out more about the premium features please scroll up on this page or get in touch with our team via the contact form.
Yes. Our website is optimized for mobile phones and tablets.
Our tag line is empowering self-builders!
First and foremost we hope that the free process map and resources we provide gives enough advice to allow more people to explore their self-build options. We have produced the resources and templates in a way that allows users to produce their own project information without time-consuming bespoke advice and thus allows us to offer so much for free.
As experienced construction people working for large main-contractors in various site & office management roles we still found our own self builds challenging and want to help other people stay in control of their projects without charge.
24 Months. We purposely avoided monthly subscriptions or annual subscriptions because we expect most self build projects to take 18 months+ from inception to completion.
It varies. Some partners have agreed to give us a small fee to say thankyou for sales realised through the build manager website and some partners we simply chose in order that we bring our users the support and services they require.
We are always looking to add more partners to our directory so please get in touch to find out more.
Yes. Not only do we plan to keep our resources up to date with the changing industry, but we plan to continually improve and add to the content we provide for users.
Your feedback is always welcome as it will allow us to evolve and fine tune the platform over time.
We are already working hard to produce the content for the next 2 series of resources. We hope to have 'Preparation' completed by March and 'Construction' by June.
Assuming you are just looking to start out on your self build journey, we expect by the time you have progressed through the 'Getting Started' series of resources that we will have the new content completed to keep pace with your project.
We have given people signing up for premium access a significant discount to say thankyou for bearing with us.
