About from company website

Building Guidance Partnership (BGP) assists homeowners in managing their building projects, from initial planning to final handover, and provides rescue services for renovations that have encountered problems. The company was founded by a former solicitor with extensive experience in analysis and problem-solving, aiming to bring clarity, control, and risk mitigation to residential construction projects. BGP offers two primary services: Project Coordination for those starting or in the early stages of a build, and Project Rescue for clients facing crises such as a vanished builder, significant financial disputes, or dangerous site conditions.

The core philosophy is to act as an independent advocate for the homeowner, ensuring decisions are made with full information, responsibilities are clear, and communication is effective. The approach involves meticulous due diligence on professionals and builders, detailed specification documents, robust contract structuring, and diligent monitoring of the build process. This focus on proactive risk management and clear contractual frameworks aims to prevent common pitfalls, control costs, and ensure projects are completed to the required standards, providing homeowners with peace of mind.

Builder vanished mid-project with over twenty thousand pounds of her money

A homeowner's builder vanished mid-project with over twenty thousand pounds of her money. She had no contract, no insurance, and no idea what to do next. Within two weeks, BGP had established a clear picture of her legal position, a plan to recover the project, and a new builder lined up with the right paperwork in place.

Client · Homeowner

He asked for a £20,000 advance for materials, but then he vanished.

Amersham

After moving to a new area for our children's schools, we hired a recommended builder for our home extension. He asked for a £20,000 advance for materials, but then he vanished. We were lost until someone on a Facebook group mentioned The Building Guidance Partnership. They were incredibly supportive, helping us find trustworthy builders and ensuring we didn't make the same mistake again.

Client · RS

The Council served us with enforcement notices after completion, and our lender was notified.

Hinckley

We started our build without understanding the importance of planning permission. The builder seemed great - he even introduced us to an architect. Everything seemed fine until the Council served us with enforcement notices after completion, and our lender was notified. We spent three stressful years fighting and stressing over this. Eventually, The Building Guidance Partnership stepped in, and their guidance was invaluable. They helped us navigate the council's requirements, and I can't thank them enough for getting us back on track.

Client · M.S.

We struggled at first with comparing builders' quotes - they were impossible to understand.

Camberley

We're midway through our build, and having BGP on board has been a game-changer. We struggled at first with comparing builders' quotes - they were impossible to understand. BGP helped us start all over. They prepared a detailed list, and suddenly everything was clear. Without their help things would be much harder. It is about attention to detail.

Client · M.S.

Midway through our project, we realised the builder did not get inspections done.

Kent

Living in a small village, we thought hiring a neighbour-recommended builder would be easy, but we learned that checks are a big deal. Midway through our project, we realised the builder did not get inspections done. Thanks to BGP, we got things on track. They helped explain to the builder, and we got all necessary certificates.

Client · H.B.

Handled our neighbourhood planning consultation.

Kingston

Thank you to BGP for handling our neighbourhood planning consultation. We expected to face objections, but their fact sheet and meeting with neighbours changed everything. We ended up getting full support from our neighbours, which was crucial for our planning approval.

Client · J.R.

The builder's approach wasn't professional, and we needed help fast.

Kent

We thought we were ready - builder hired, planning approved, survey done. Then the work started, and we felt overwhelmed. The builder's approach wasn't professional, and we needed help fast. The Building Guidance Partnership stepped in, and their advice on managing the builder and risks was precious. Knowing there's no licensing for builders was a shock, but having BGP guide us through made all the difference.

Client · L.M.

Handling a £1m Build

A client was on the verge of handing over close to £1 million to a contractor for a substantial refurbishment and fit-out project. BGP carried out due diligence and discovered the contractor had been operating in car valeting just months prior, with extremely limited experience at this level. BGP alerted the client, restructured payment arrangements, verified and strengthened insurance cover, clarified scope and responsibilities, and reassessed contractor suitability.
