(Frequently Asked Questions)

Why should I choose 5m2 Construction?

That’s a great question, and often how people begin their search.

Choosing the right builder isn’t just about proximity. It’s about trust, quality and experience. At 5m2 Construction, we focus on delivering high-quality building projects across Surrey & West Sussex with clear communication, careful planning and attention to detail.

If you’re looking for a builder who takes pride in their work and stands by what they deliver, you’re in the right place.

What type of building work do you specialise in?

We specialise in high-quality residential construction, including extensions, refurbishments, structural alterations, basements and new builds.

Our focus is on well-planned, well-executed projects where attention to detail and long-term quality matter.

Are you more expensive than other builders near me?

We’re not always the cheapest option, but our clients choose us for the value we deliver. Accurate pricing, high standards of workmanship, reliable timelines and clear communication can save time, stress and unexpected costs later in the project.

We believe quality building work is an investment, and we price our services accordingly and transparently.

Do I have to pay everything upfront before you start work?

No, we don’t ask for full payment upfront.

We take a small holding deposit to secure your place in our work schedule, followed by a clearly agreed staged payment plan aligned with key phases of the project. This ensures transparency and allows the build to progress in a structured, fair way for everyone involved.

Our approach gives you clarity, protects both parties and keeps your project moving smoothly from start to finish.

How do I know I can trust you with my project?

We build long-term relationships with our clients by doing what we say we’ll do, when we say we’ll do it.

Our work is backed by experience, strong project management and a portfolio of completed projects across Surrey & West Sussex, delivered to a consistently high standard.

We’re always happy to talk through previous work and explain how we manage projects from start to finish, so you know exactly what to expect.

Are you local builders?

Yes. We primarily work across Surrey & West Sussex, while also undertaking selected projects across the wider South East, delivering high-quality construction work for homeowners, developers and businesses.

Being local means we understand planning requirements, building regulations and the expectations of clients in these areas, while still operating with the professionalism and structure of a larger construction company.

We regularly carry out projects in areas such as Guildford, Dorking, Horsham, Chichester and the surrounding locations but we have completed large projects in London and Kent.

If you’re unsure whether we cover your location, just get in touch — the chances are we do.
