Pre-Construction & Trusted Builder – Frequently Asked Questions
Working with a builder from our Trusted Network gives you peace of mind, transparent pricing, ongoing support, and access to cost-saving advice. All our trusted builders have completed 30+ Fluent projects and consistently demonstrate strong problem-solving and value engineering skills on site.
We actively monitor performance through price benchmarking, comparison of initial quotes versus final invoices, client feedback, and periodic on-site checks. This ensures you’re working with reliable, skilled builders who meet our high standards.
Our pre-construction service helps you secure the right builder before work begins. It includes:
- Detailed project discussions to align expectations
- Pre-construction site visits with up to three builders
- Transparent, competitive quotations
- Quote review and guidance
- Support in selecting your preferred builder
This service does not include day-to-day project management—we focus on giving you clarity and confidence before construction starts.
We provide a maximum of three competitive quotes from vetted, trusted builders. Each builder is provided the same drawings and information to ensure a fair comparison.

Yes. If you appoint a builder from our Trusted Network, we remain available to provide advice, review drawings, and offer design support throughout the project.
Indicative costs provide a guideline of potential project expenses based on your approved plans and current local market rates. They are not fixed quotations and should not be used for financial lending purposes.
Yes. Costs may vary depending on the builder, project scope, materials, and location. For example, London and surrounding areas typically incur higher costs than national averages.
We also explore value engineering opportunities to optimise cost without compromising quality.
By reviewing project scope, clarifying expectations, conducting site visits, and comparing quotes upfront, pre-construction minimises misunderstandings, ensures builders understand the design, and reduces potential delays once work begins.
If you want confidence in builder selection, clarity on costs, and a smoother build, pre-construction support is highly recommended. Booking a free advice call is the best way to discuss your project and find the right level of support for your needs.
If you’re nearing the end of the design phase or have approved plans in hand, we’re here to help bring your vision to life—with clarity, confidence, and expert support.
