Finding a great builder is the best way of making a renovation project successful. That’s why we created our Builder Match service; a flexible, transparent way to meet, compare, and choose from Beams-vetted builders before you commit. It’s your home, your choice.
Builder Match
Our Builder Match service gives you:
Choice – meet and review quotes from up to 3 local, vetted builders
Confidence – get expert insights and on-site advice from experienced pros
Control – choose the builder who’s right for you and your home
Whether you prioritise price, personality, or a particular approach to the work, Builder Match is designed to support a match that’s right for you.
How it works
Here’s what to expect from the Builder Match process:
Define your scope and budget
You’ll share your project plans and preferences with Beams, and we’ll help you define the scope of work required to bring your new space to life. We use data from 4,000+ UK construction projects to create early cost guidance to help your decision-making.Match with vetted builders
Once your project scope and budget is confirmed, we’ll send them to trusted builders in our network who are a good fit for your project based on location, scope and specialism.Choose who to meet
Once the builders have decided to pitch for your project, we'll share their profiles with you, including their credentials, experience and company information. You choose which builder(s) you’d like to meet at home.Attend site visit(s)
Each builder you select will visit your home to walk through the space and understand your project. It’s your chance to get a feel for their approach and for them to ask smart, detailed questions to help them quote the job.Receive your quotes
After their visit, each builder sends you their quote. It includes:Pricing
Timelines
A breakdown of the lines of work
Any considerations or provisional costs
Receive your quotes
After their visit, each builder sends you their quote. You’ll see each quote side-by-side in your Beams dashboard. Your planner will be on hand to help you compare like-for-like and understand any differences (e.g., in timelines, inclusions, or assumptions). Choose the builder that feels right for you. Homeowners often say it comes down to trust and rapport, not just price.
Frequently asked questions
Can I meet more than one builder?
Yes! Most homeowners meet 2–3 builders before making a decision. This helps you compare quotes and feel confident in your decision.
Are the builders Beams employees?
No, they’re independent contractors. But we only work with trusted professionals who pass our detailed vetting process and deliver great work.
How does Beams vet the builders in their network?
Every builder in the Beams network goes through a 4-step vetting process, including insurance checks, in-person interviews, site inspections, and a signed service agreement. We only work with professionals we trust to deliver quality work.
Builder Match is all about helping you choose the right builder for your home. It’s transparent, tailored, and designed to make one of the most important renovation decisions just a little bit easier.
