Fixed-Price Contracts

Fixed-price contracts. Nothing added once work starts on your home.

Three Tradespeople.
Three Different Stories.

Most loft conversions and extensions in Bristol involve a builder, an architect, and a planning consultant — each with their own timeline, their own quote, and their own opinion on what "finished" looks like. When something goes wrong, no one owns it.

Rafter & Rise runs design and build under one roof, one contract, one point of contact.

Why Rafter & Rise

How We're Different

Fixed-Price Quoting

No drip-fed unforeseen costs once work starts. We lock in the price based on completed designs before you commit to the build phase.

In-House Planning

Permitted development and planning applications handled entirely internally by our specialists, never outsourced to third parties.

Single Point Contact

One dedicated project manager guides your renovation from the initial feasibility survey all the way to final sign-off.

Methodology

The Process

1. Feasibility Check

Takes just 2 minutes. Tells you if your project's viable and roughly what it will cost before you spend a penny.

2. Fixed-Price Design

Full architectural drawings created, planning route confirmed, and total build price locked in securely.

3. The Build Phase

Typically 6–12 weeks depending on scope. Fully project-managed from ground break to final interior finishes.
