Thank you - we'll be in touch shortly

What happens next

STEP 01

Initial chat

Our admin team connects with you to discuss your vision, goals, budget expectations, and project timeline. This quick chat helps us ensure we're the right fit for your project before scheduling an on-site visit, saving everyone valuable time if it turns out not to be a match.

STEP 02

Site visit

If your project is a good fit, our admin team will schedule an on-site visit with team. Reviewing the space together allows us to assess both practical construction needs and project costs simultaneously in the same conversation with you. It's the main reason our quotes stay reliable once construction begins.

STEP 03

Measurements and scope capture

Measurements are taken and notes recorded about what the project actually requires - including the things that are easy to leave out of a drawing, like access, existing condition and how the work has to be staged around you.

STEP 04

Pricing and quote timing

Our team puts together your detailed price estimate, and we give you a clear timeline upfront so you always know when to expect it. If your project is larger or more complex and requires extra time to price accurately, we'll let you know right away rather than missing a deadline in silence.

STEP 05

Follow-up

Around a week after the quote is issued, we follow up to see whether you need anything else - a walk through the numbers, an alternative approach, or a revised scope. We would rather have that conversation than leave a quote sitting in an inbox.

Why we are called Selective

We started this company in 2017 with one rule we have never compromised on: we would rather turn work down than use a tradesperson we would not trust to work in our own home.

That is where the name comes from. We are selective about the projects we take, and we are selective about the people we put on site. It is the reason most of our work still comes from people who were referred by someone we built for, rather than from advertising.

If you are planning something substantial, we would rather have an honest conversation about whether we are the right fit than send you a quote that does not hold.
