PROBLEMS PEOPLE FACE WHEN BUILDING
1. Running over budget
Poor planning or misinterpreted scopes and quotes are some of the more common causes of running over budget, as changes to material qualities and time rack up very quickly indeed. If the site is not checked thoroughly, this increases dramatically.
2. Not knowing what you signed up for
Vague quotes without specifics or contracts lead to arguments. this can happen recurringly, without much chance of mediation due to no strict agreements in place or agreed scopes. This can be devastating.
3. Unforeseen costs
Once work begins, it is very common to find new challenges, such as when reaching underground or behind existing wall coverings, and this increases tenfold without due diligence.
4. Builders underestimating and reclaiming costs
Many builders are quick to offer a quote they can’t stick to and have to change it to recoup additional costs halfway through a project that can’t reasonably be left in its current state.
5. Not understanding the responsibilities
Builders assume responsibility for all aspects of the project once the work begins, from making sure building regulations are adhered to through to sticking to the agreed work.
6. Bad planning
Having an unclear plan in place leads to inefficient work, dragged out processes, mistakes along the way and in extreme cases, abortive work which needs to be rectified rapidly, all of which is very costly.
THE DEMAND FOR BUILDING WORKS
The demand for building work soared after the 2020 lockdowns, but as of 2022 has been in a moderate decline since this time with increased living costs and even more increased material and labour costs. Despite this, GYB strives to be as competitively priced as they can possibly be.
INCREASE IN COWBOY BUILDERS
Busy periods in building work often lead to huge waiting times for clients, and for clients in a real hurry, cowboy builders have a chance to come through the cracks at a rapid rate. Whilst it’s not always professional con artists, the market is still filled with those who perhaps don’t have the skills, experience or work ethic to get a job done right.

By having the best possible team of professionals, the right work ethic, proper business practices in place and standards that are sky-high, GYB is able to offer unparalleled service. They make sure to be comprehensive from the very beginning to the very end of the project, carrying out a thorough site inspection, checking all drawings, ticking all boxes and keeping clients in the loop at every step of the journey.
