Tips
Tip: Always Get 3 Quotes

Compare at least three detailed quotes from different Glasgow builders before making your decision. Each quote should itemise materials, labour, timeline, and warranty terms separately. Prices often vary by 20-30 per cent between builders, so multiple quotes protect you from overpaying. The cheapest option isn't always best; prioritise builders with strong local references and clear communication over rock-bottom prices.

Tip: Check Insurance and References

Always verify your builder holds current Public Liability Insurance (minimum £6 million) and ask for at least two recent project references in Glasgow. Contact previous clients directly to confirm work quality, timeline adherence, and professionalism. Request proof of buildings warranty cover for structural work. Never hire uninsured builders, as you'll be liable for accidents or damage. Insurance checks take five minutes but protect your investment completely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Start by requesting quotes from builders with proven local experience and current insurance. Check online reviews on Checkatrade and MoneySuperMarket, and ask for references from recent Glasgow projects. Verify they're registered with relevant professional bodies like the Federation of Master Builders. Meet prospective builders in person to assess their communication and professionalism. Always check they hold Public Liability Insurance of at least £6 million. Request a detailed written specification and timeline before work begins. Get multiple quotes to compare standards and pricing fairly. Word-of-mouth recommendations from neighbours remain invaluable in Glasgow, where community networks often identify trusted local tradespeople.

Most building work in Glasgow requires either planning permission or building warrant approval, depending on the project scale and type. Extensions larger than permitted development thresholds need planning consent from Glasgow City Council. All structural work, regardless of size, requires building warrant approval to ensure compliance with Scottish Building Standards. Conservation areas and listed properties have stricter rules, typically requiring planning permission for external alterations. Your builder should advise on requirements, but it's your responsibility as the homeowner to secure permissions before work starts. Glasgow City Council's planning portal allows you to check if your property is in a conservation area. Failing to obtain necessary permissions can result in enforcement action and costly remediation.
