We have built a reputation for reliability, attention to detail, and creating beautiful spaces that add real value to our clients’ homes.
Our goal is to make your home improvement project as stress-free as possible — from the first design discussions through to final completion. Whether it’s a house extension, loft conversion, or a complete new build, we pride ourselves on a customer-focused approach that ensures your needs always come first. We also have particular expertise in period properties, helping create large open-plan spaces filled with natural light while respecting the structure of older homes.
We only work with fully certified tradesmen and specialist contractors, ensuring every stage of your project meets the highest professional standards. As part of this commitment to quality and safety, we are fully insured and proud members of the Federation of Master Builders (FMB) and TrustMark – the Government Endorsed Quality Scheme. These accreditations mean you can have complete confidence that your project is in safe hands.
Our Design and Build Process
At Built By Contract, we believe that successful projects are built on clear communication and careful planning. Our tried-and-tested design and build process ensures your project is delivered on time, on budget, and to the highest quality.
- Free Consultation – We start with a no-obligation site visit to understand your ideas, budget, and timescale.
- Design & Planning – Working with your chosen architect, or one of our recommended partners, we create detailed plans and guide you through planning permission and building regulations if required.
- Transparent Quotation – Once plans are agreed, you’ll receive a fixed-price quotation with no hidden costs.
- Construction & Management – Our skilled tradesmen carry out the build, with dedicated project management to keep everything running smoothly.
- Completion – We hand over your completed project, ensuring every detail is finished to the highest standard.
From the very first idea to the final brick, our mission is to deliver a building service that is professional, reliable and tailored to your needs.

Single Story Extension in Western Park, Leicester
BuiltByContract
"Branni and his team worked for us on a single storey extension to our 1930’s semi. The quality of his work was superb and we could not have been more pleased. Branni listened carefully to our requests, but also suggested ideas and modifications that enhanced the build. He worked around all problems and obviously takes great pride in his work.
The team we’re all friendly, considerate, hardworking, punctual and polite.
I would highly recommend Built by Contract."
