Why Four Oaks

You shouldn't have to worry about your own home.

Most families building or extending their home face the same nightmare — budgets that creep, timelines that slip, and a builder who stops returning calls after the deposit clears.

We built Four Oaks specifically to end that experience.

Every promise we make is written into your contract. Every update happens whether you ask for it or not. And if something isn't right, we fix it before you ever have to ask.

"From first conversation to handover, everything was exactly as promised. Not a penny over budget."

- Sarah & James Mitchell, New build · Mere Green

Fixed-price contracts
The price we quote is the price you pay. We survey thoroughly, price honestly, and write it all into a legally binding fixed-price contract. No variation orders. No surprises. No excuses.

Dedicated project manager
From the day we break ground to the day we hand you the keys, you have one person responsible for your build. They know your project inside out and are contactable every working day.

Weekly photo updates
Every Friday without fail, you receive a full videographic report of your build's progress. You always know exactly what's happening, even when you're not on site.


How it works

From first call to front door.

Whether you're extending, building new, or renovating completely — our process is the same. Designed to keep you informed, in control, and completely confident at every stage.

01

Consultation

A free, no-obligation meeting at your home or plot. We listen to your vision, walk the site, and give you an honest, experienced picture of what's possible and what it will cost. No sales pressure. Ever.

02

Design & Planning

We work with your architect or recommend one — producing full planning drawings to your exact specification. We manage the entire planning application or permitted development notification, handling every query and condition with Birmingham City Council on your behalf.

03

Fixed-Price Quote

A detailed, fully itemised fixed-price contract covering every element of your project. Every material, every trade, every contingency. You review it at your own pace. Nothing starts until you're completely certain.

04

Build

Your dedicated project manager runs the site from day one. Every trade vetted, scheduled, and supervised. Weekly photo updates arrive every Friday without fail. You always know exactly what's happening, even when you're not there.

05

Handover

We complete our own snagging survey before we invite you to see the finished result. Every item resolved before you walk in. Building regulations sign-off in hand. We remain your first call for 12 months after handover.

What our clients say

Last 12 months: 47 families. 47 happy endings.

★★★★★
“I had the pleasure of working with Danielle and George, a young couple full of warmth and excitement for their future. They were preparing their home to start a family. We began just after Christmas, battling some tough weather, but we overcame it all. Across six weeks, we transformed the space: a new kitchen, media wall, garage conversion, a remodeled downstairs, and a home office. I also gave them what I’d call their ‘driveway of dreams.’ With over 30 years of experience, I put everything into this project . Seeing them ready to build their future made every bit of the project worthwhile.”

“I had the pleasure of working with this couple on this project, and we’ve kept in touch ever since, with them following my work on Facebook over the past 5–6 years. The space was originally an old-style conservatory, which we transformed into a new-style dining room extension in just three weeks. We built a new structure with a slate roof and a vaulted ceiling, creating a bright, open space flowing from the existing kitchen." — Justin Venables, Owner, Four Oaks Builders

" i had the privilege of working with Reece during an incredibly difficult time after losing his wife. This project became more than just a renovation — it was about creating a fresh start. We completed a full transformation, including a new kitchen, single-storey extension, new roof, and a redesigned driveway and patio. Every detail was handled with care, creating a space that feels strong, comfortable, and ready for the next chapter. With over 30 years of experience, this was a project that truly meant something beyond the build.”
