House Extension Builders in
Totnes
Finding a reliable builder in Totnes shouldn’t mean gambling on a directory that gets paid per click. We recommend builders based on real standards, because our own reputation for planning and building regs work depends on it. Totnes is in a part of the UK where building costs typically sit 15 to 25 percent above the national average, reflecting higher local labour rates and demand, which shapes what a realistic quote should look like.
Get Matched With A Trusted BuilderThe Real Difference For Totnes Homeowners
The builder directory industry runs on a simple model. Builders pay to appear, and homeowners in Totnes are shown whoever paid the most, not necessarily whoever does the best work. That’s a genuinely different incentive to the one we operate under.
We’re not a builder directory. We’re a planning consultancy that also connects clients in Totnes with builders we’ve encountered through real work, extensions where we handled the planning permission or building regulations drawings and saw the standard delivered on site.
Our position in Totnes extension projects, handling planning and building regs, means a builder recommendation isn’t a guess. It’s based on what we already know your project requires, including the fact that Totnes is in a part of the UK where building costs typically sit 15 to 25 percent above the national average, reflecting higher local labour rates and demand.

How We Help in Totnes
Getting to know your actual Totnes project comes first, scale, timeline, and whether planning permission or building regulations drawings are already sorted or still needed.
From there, we match you with a local builder whose work we genuinely rate for a project like yours, not the first name that comes up in a paid listing.
Many Totnes clients need more than just a builder. We also prepare building regulations drawings and structural calculations for the same project, so everything’s genuinely joined up.
What Makes Totnes Recommendations Different
A Totnes builder recommendation from us carries our own reputation, since we’re often the ones also handling the planning side of the same project.
Because we’re planning specialists first in Totnes, we see real evidence of a builder’s standard through actual projects, not through a sales pitch or a five star review that could be written by anyone.
If your Totnes project still needs planning permission sorted, or you’re not sure whether it does, that’s genuinely our specialty, and we can check that alongside matching you with a builder.
