Pod Bristol offers full design assistance with your building project. Overarching; contracting architects, specialist designers, structural engineers, submitting planning applications and building regulations as well as internal design assistance, providing design mock ups of your home, space and vision.
Alternatively we can collaborate with your chosen contractors, you may have a preferred architect and only need assistance with planning or interior design or vice versa. We are flexible and happy to assist where needed.
Pod Bristol offers project management throughout the build, ensuring the budget is adhered to, the payment schedule is clear, progress is communicated and works are completed on time.
Honest discussions regarding budget, expectations and priorities at the outset enable us to manage the project to best suit your unique circumstances.
Pod Bristol can source, contract and project manage all the relevant trades (electricians, plumbers, plasterers, carpenters, decorators, gardeners etc) directly or indirectly involved in the project.
A lack of clear management and direction can often lead to delays; enabling a lack of accountability amongst different trades, unexpected price increases or no shows.
We have longstanding relationships with many trades and only work with reliable and quality people who we trust. Pod Bristol does not directly employ the tradespeople, which allows for the selection of the right trade, for the right part of the job, at the right stage. This efficiency ultimately results in; lower overall costs, removes conflicts between trades, ensures the schedule of works is delivered on time and maintains a consistency of finish across the project – all the advantages of working with a larger building firm but at a lower price.
Pod Bristol are happy to offer straight building assistance ranging from large scale double storey lofts and extensions or a simple kitchen/bathroom/other refit.
We know that projects no matter how big or small, can be stressful, and we aim to mitigate this with strong communication and maintaining good relationships with all parties involved.
We pride ourselves on the quality of our work and always make ourselves available to finalise any details should you not be completely satisfied with any element and provide a 2 year guarantee on our work.
Client communication is at the core of our company ethos and we strive to provide refreshing, honest and clear pricing and timelines on your project.
We provide exceptional service, responding to issues with speed and efficiency and have trust and history with our carefully selected close affiliates and tradespeople with whom we work.
With over 15 years' experience and a track record of high value projects, circa £50k–£200k already undertaken, you can be sure you're in safe hands.
At Pod Bristol we offer three core services:
Ben and the team from Pod Bristol recently worked on a project for us which involved a two storey side extension, single storey back extension, loft conversion and full internal refurb.
Throughout the process Ben was always easy to communicate with and open to discuss any tweaks or issues that arose during the project ensuring the final delivered finished job was to a high standard and excellent finish.
Ben totally understood what our end aim was and we were very happy with the process. We would have no issues using Pod Bristol again and look forward to working with them in the future.

My husband and I entrusted the complete refurbishment of our three-bed garden flat to Ben and the Pod Bristol team while we were in the United States.
The work was extensive and included the use of steel beams to secure structural walls, the knocking down of other walls, bifold doors, entirely new electrics and plumbing, new flooring, decorating etc. My husband and I have utilised building contractors for a number of projects in the past and in our opinion POD set themselves apart from other builders.
We wholeheartedly recommend Pod Bristol. The project was excellently-managed and the communication top-notch. The project was delivered on-time, and would have been on-budget if my husband and I hadn’t started choosing higher specification floors/bathrooms etc! As and when we need further work of this kind done, Pod Bristol will be our go-to.

Any kind of building work, small or large will have its unknowns and complexities, but Pod Bristol worked to make the whole process of our 'root and branch' house refurbishment come together as painlessly as I think is possible.
The excellent communications and attention to finish and the holistic vision for the project were all critical element to the success, which I know from experience is sadly lacking for many building companies.
In short I would thoroughly recommend them. I felt that they cared as much as we did about this project and really felt proud of the final results.
