Design and estimating services SPOTLIGHT ON LOCAL BUSINESSES
B G Helps - Design & Estimating has been trading since 1984. Brian Helps provides freelance
building design, estimating and quantity surveying services. ‘My services are particularly geared toward smaller builders and domestic clients who need design, estimating and QS support. I do, of course, also undertake commercial projects,’ said Brian.
‘I can supply a bill of quantities for any domestic project. This gives the client a budget for the project and when given to the builder (unpriced), this can save builders a lot of time when tendering for a project. It also ensures that all builders are pricing exactly the same items for the projects, giving full parity of tender. The same document can also be used to monitor work done for the purposes of valuations. ‘I work across the South of England and prefer (wherever possible) to provide upfront prices for the services I supply.’ For more information, contact B G Helps - Design & Estimating, The Cottage, 9 Trewhiddle Road, St Austell, Cornwall, PL25 5BZ.

■ BRIAN Teague & Sons, Building, Carpentry & Electrical Contractors, can provide a complete building service. Based in North Cornwall, the
family firm is run by brothers Ben and Julian Teague, with Elaine Teague, who took over the reins ten years ago after the untimely death of her husband Brian, now running the admin side of the business. Ben, an experienced
carpenter/builder, manages the building side, and Julian, a qualified electrician, is in charge of the electrical side. The firm has completed many restoration projects. Last year one of these projects, the complete restoration of a large semi-derelict house, was featured in a national magazine.
In addition, one customer with a number of derelict barns engaged Brian Teague & Sons to convert them: the team went back for four consecutive winters to convert the barns and then was employed to build two new holiday homes for the same customer. For more information on Brian
