Free Consultation Call
What Happens During Our Free Consultation Call?
Our free consultation call is a 30-minute phone call where we discuss your project in detail and explain how LCCL Construction can help. Before the call, our team researches your property location and prepares so we can make the most of the time together.
During the call, we cover your project requirements, budget expectations, timescales, feasibility and the design and build process. Whether you are planning a loft conversion, house extension, renovation or new build, we will explain the steps involved and answer any questions you have.
After the call, we evaluate your project and provide a free initial estimate. If appropriate, we will also arrange a visit to your property so our consultant can assess the site in person and discuss your project in more detail.
With over 20 years of experience, more than 200 verified reviews rated 4.7 out of 5, and LABC Awards Regional Winners 2024, you are in safe hands from the very first conversation.
Why We Offer a Free Consultation
We offer a free consultation call because we believe every homeowner deserves clear, honest advice before committing to a building project. The construction process can feel overwhelming, especially if it is your first time extending or converting your home. Our consultation gives you the information you need to make an informed decision, with no obligation and no pressure.
During the call, we provide a free initial estimate for your project covering both the design and construction phases. While we cannot guarantee 100 percent accuracy at this early stage — final costs depend on the detailed design, structural requirements and site conditions — our estimates give you a realistic starting point for budgeting and comparing quotes.
The Consultation Process
Making preparations is the key. Providing us with as much details about your project as possible would really help our conversation and your project.
We would focus on the points such as is it feasible, budgets, timescales, what type of loft or home extension you would like and if it is possible, how we can help and what services would best suited for your project. As follows we talk about our consultation call in more detail:

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Is the consultation call really free?
Yes. The consultation call is completely free with no obligation. We use the call to understand your project, explain the process and provide an initial estimate. You are under no pressure to proceed with our services and can take as much time as you need to make a decision.
Q2: How long is the consultation call and what should I prepare?
The call typically lasts around 30 minutes. To make the most of the time, it helps to have a rough idea of the work you want done, your budget range, your preferred timescales, and any photos or measurements of your property. If you have existing plans or drawings, have those to hand as well. The more information you can share, the more accurate our initial advice and estimate will be.
Q3: Will I get a cost estimate during the consultation call?
We provide an initial cost estimate either during or shortly after the call, covering both the design and construction phases. This estimate is based on the information you provide and our experience with similar projects. While it is not a fixed quote — final costs depend on the detailed design, structural requirements and site conditions — it gives you a realistic starting point for budgeting.
Q4: What happens after the consultation call?
After the call, we email you a written estimate for your project. If appropriate, we will arrange a site visit so our consultant can assess your property in person and discuss the project in more detail.
