If you are still looking for someone to start your project i can definitely highly recommend you to the team of builders i used. They were there for me throughout the whole project and were a big part in how i was able to start of the project in the first place. From what i can read you are just like how i was at the begining a bit clueless on how to start something so big. let me share with you my experience of how i done the first few things to get my project started so hopefully it can help you get started. Firstly the first thing i done was start by contacting lots of companies and seeing what they were able to do for me and what quotes they gave me, some companies never got back to me but nevermind you have to keep trying. Also ask your friends or family if they know anyone that they can recommend as that is the best type of reconmendations you can get. That is how i found the builders that I chose for my project, through a friend who has a friend that used them for a loft conversion. I went over to see how the loft conversion had turned out and was impressed with the finish and style it had so decided to give them a call. Michael the director got back to me straigh away we firstly arranged for him to come over to my home to discuss what it was I wanted from the project. He then helped me by recommending architects which he had worked with before as I was completely clueless on what to do on that. He was really organised and helped me with the steps of a project. Also gave me advice on cetain things what to do or what not to do even if i didnt choose his company, he was really nice guy. in the end i ended up choosing him after doing a little more reasearch on his company. Really glad I chose him as he provided me with all the advice i needed to get started and was really helpful throughout its been 7 months now and the work he done is still a joy to look at everytime i go into my loft. Below i will leave the contact details if you wish to contact him. Good luck with your project hope these at least helps you with an idea on how to get started because i know how it is at the begining but you should defently go for it just be prepared. :D Urban Space Building & Plumbing LTD Michael 02086702911/07956528763 michaelp@urbanspaceltd.co.uk That is all the contact information i have of him the company has a website but dont remember the url properly if you google search it you should see it.
