Common questions

How accurate are the estimates?

Our cost ranges are based on real UK construction data and adjusted for your project scope. They're designed to set realistic expectations, not replace a formal quote.

Is this a replacement for a contractor?

No. Lintel helps you plan before you hire. You'll walk into contractor conversations with clearer expectations and better questions.

What do I actually receive?

A feasibility report with cost ranges, a timeline estimate, key risk flags, and a contractor-ready brief you can share directly.

Why not just get quotes?

Quotes without context lead to surprises. Lintel gives you the baseline to evaluate quotes fairly and spot red flags early.

Don't go into quotes blind

Plan before you commit. Know your costs, risks, and options before calling a contractor.
