Before you hire a builder in Aberdeen
A bad builder is the most expensive mistake on this page. These checks are worth the time.
- Most building work in Scotland needs a building warrant from your local council before work starts.
- Check with the council whether you also need planning permission, or whether the work counts as permitted development.

Builder FAQs for Aberdeen
How much does a builder cost in Aberdeen?
Prices in Aberdeen are usually around the middle of our UK guide ranges, or a little below. Your price depends on the job, access and materials, so compare a few quotes from builders in Aberdeen.
Can I get a builder anywhere in Aberdeen?
Yes. Builders work across Aberdeen and the AB postcode area, including Bridge of Don, Dyce, Cults, Rosemount, Torry and Kincorth. There are also pages for builders in nearby Dundee, Inverness and Perth.
Do I need planning permission for an extension?
Some small extensions are permitted development in Scotland, but most building work still needs a building warrant before it starts. Check with your local council.
How long does a single storey extension take?
Typically 8 to 14 weeks on site once work starts, depending on size, weather and how quickly you choose finishes. Planning and design can add several months beforehand.
How many quotes should I get?
At least three. Make sure each builder is pricing the same drawings and specification, otherwise the quotes are not comparable.
Should I pay a builder a deposit?
A modest deposit for materials is normal on larger jobs. After that, pay in stages as work is completed and never pay for work that has not been done.
