We added another one to the mix, and are starting to lean away from Hallbury and Carter Grange. Hallbury for design resigns, and Carter Grange don't seem as keen for our business. We're still working through inclusions/exclusions, and what's important for us. Happy to chat by DM if you want to swap stories. Re: Builder selection: Hallbury, Carter Grange, PD, LBLiving 8Jul 03, 2021 10:44 am SJT76 Hi all, Hope you can help me in selecting a builder for our forever home. We've got the shortlist down to the 4 above. Hallbury and Porter Davis both have basic designs we like, and a willingness to modify them to suit us. Consultants have been great. Carter Grange and LBLiving (I did not realise they were owned by brothers when I first consulted them) are both happy to do complete custom. Again, consultants have been great. Interested if anyone has any experiences good or bad with any of these 4. Also interested in key care points to watch out for in making this decision. One thing that I have noticed is the use of EPS for the upstairs - Carter Grange don't do this at all; LB Living seem to do it sometimes, but otherwise use Hebel. Should I be concerned about EPS cladding for longevity, or is it basically as good as Hebel for upstairs? Many thanks in advance!
