1. What areas does Prima Construction Ltd cover?
We’re based in Stockport and primarily serve Greater Manchester — including Stockport, Cheadle, Altrincham, Wilmslow, and surrounding towns across the North West.
2. Are you a registered and insured construction company?
Yes. Prima Construction Ltd is a fully registered UK company and an FMB (Federation of Master Builders) member. We hold comprehensive Public and Employers’ Liability Insurance.
3. What services do you specialise in?
Our core specialisms are single/double-storey home extensions, full house renovations/refurbs, new builds, and complex structural knock-throughs involving steelwork (RSJs).
4. Can you handle the entire project from design to completion?
Absolutely. We manage everything end-to-end — from consultation and design collaboration to installations (kitchens/bathrooms) and decorating — giving you one reliable point of contact.
5. How does your “less complex” project approach work?
We reduce stress with clear transparency: affordable fixed design fees, detailed fixed-price quotations, and consistent communication to avoid surprises on budget or timelines.
6. Do I need planning permission for a house extension in Stockport/Greater Manchester?
It depends on size and scope. Many smaller extensions are under Permitted Development; larger or two-storey works usually require Planning Permission. We guide you through Planning and Building Control from day one.
7. How do you manage the budget and design changes?
You’ll receive a detailed fixed-price quotation before work begins. If you request a change, we pause that element, explain cost/time impacts, and issue an amended quote and schedule for approval before proceeding.
8. What guarantee do you offer on your work?
As FMB members, our workmanship meets high industry standards. We guarantee our work, use quality materials, and can advise on FMB warranty options for major projects.
9. How long will my project (e.g., a single-storey extension) take?
Timelines vary, but a typical single-storey extension takes around 4–6 months from breaking ground to handover, depending on fittings and inspection schedules. A detailed programme is provided at the start.
10. Do you work with property investors and developers on HMOs or new builds?
Yes. We have extensive experience delivering multi-unit residential developments, HMO conversions, and commercial-to-residential projects across Greater Manchester — on time and within budget.
