January 5, 20224 yr I had a quote for a structural warranty today that came in at £5,330 which just seems really expensive to me. The build size is 197 sqm, standard construction, birck & block cavity wall, pitched timber tiled roof. I'm just wondering if this is about the correct amount I should be paying or if this is way over priced. The benefit of this provider is that they can use the same inspector that I am probably going to use for building control and therefore only one person doing the inspections. I just don't really want to pay over the odds as the budget is already tight as it is. Any advice or opinions would be greatly appreciated.
January 5, 20224 yr Try selfbuildzone my quote was approx £2k plus £1.7k for inspections. Also try ICW.
January 5, 20224 yr Buildzone was £2600 for us for 275sqm brick & block, mono pitch. LABC wanted £7500!
January 7, 20224 yr Author Thanks for the replies. I did a quote with SBZ and they are much cheaper. Will be about £3.5k which will include the building control fees. Has anyone used SBZ before for building control? Just wondered how others got on with them?

They are a broker but managed to get a price nearly £1k cheaper through SBZ than I got going direct…. I have bc through them but only starting next month so can’t comment.
