Choosing a High-End Builder in London

Trackrecord
Specialisttrades
Clearpricing
Webuild
In short: A high-end builder should show finished work at your level, explain how they manage specialist trades and give a detailed, itemised price. Fraser Bond delivers high-end residential projects across London.

Ask to see

Two or three finished projects of similar size and specification, ideally with the clients' permission to speak to them.

Pricing and contracts

Expect an itemised price with clear provisional sums for things not yet chosen (stone, joinery, lighting). JCT contracts are common; agree payment stages linked to progress.

What Fraser Bond does on building projects

  • Site visit and a clear scope of works
  • Design, drawings and specification
  • Written, itemised quote and programme
  • Planning, building control and landlord or freeholder consents
  • Managed works with one point of contact
  • Snagging, completion certificates and handover

Is the cheapest quote a risk?

Often. Low prices usually mean missing items or provisional sums that grow later.

Do you provide design as well?

Yes, or we can work with your architect and designer.
