Allows homeowners to receive a detailed cost estimate for their project without the need for an in-person visit. By providing photos, videos, measurements, and basic project details, clients can get an accurate breakdown of expected costs. This service is ideal for early-stage planning, budgeting, or comparing quotes, and offers a fast, convenient, and professional way to understand the financial scope of a construction project—especially useful for those not yet ready to engage a contractor on-site.

We can help clients evaluate and compare multiple quotes from builders or contractors to ensure they are fair, accurate, and in line with industry standards. By analysing the scope, pricing breakdowns, and regional benchmarks, we identify any inflated costs, missing items, or unreasonable extras. This gives clients confidence in their decision-making, prevents overpaying, and ensures they choose a builder offering both value and transparency. ASK Joey has your best interested in mind.

We verify identity and trading history; company, VAT and insurance status; relevant accreditations (e.g., Gas Safe/NICEIC where applicable); financial stability (credit/insolvency/CCJs); references and recent site work; health & safety compliance (RAMS); subcontractor oversight; programme realism and resourcing; and quote structure against market benchmarks. You receive a clear, written report with a risk rating, flagged concerns, and practical recommendations, giving you peace of mind.

Navigating the bureaucracy of councils and administrative processes can be time-consuming and overwhelming—especially if you're unfamiliar with the requirements for your specific project. Let us take that stress off your shoulders by handling the application process on your behalf.
You will still be responsible for the Building Control fee, which we can help estimate. These fees typically range from £295 to £2,500 depending on the scope of work, with the average falling between £800 and £900.

Contracts can often be lengthy and intimidating. We offer tailor-made contracts designed specifically for your project and can negotiate the terms directly with your builder on your behalf. With our expertise, we’ll take the stress and time-consuming work off your hands—giving you peace of mind and helping to protect your investment. We offer our own professionally drafted contracts that can be used for your subcontractors and stakeholders, or we can review and negotiate terms on their existing contracts.

Our comprehensive vetting package includes all essential pre-project services—from price comparisons to thoroughly vetting your builder and ensuring all contracts and administrative tasks are properly handled.
