These Terms and Conditions govern your use of https://gucl.co.uk/.

By using this website, you confirm that you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please stop using the website.

These website terms do not replace any quotation, proposal, construction contract or other written agreement entered into for a specific project.

3. Our Services

GroundUp Constructions provides information about construction services, including:

Home extensions

HMO conversions

Full-house refurbishments

Garage conversions

The availability and suitability of a service will depend on the property, project scope, location, budget, site conditions and other relevant circumstances.

Website content does not constitute a binding offer to undertake work.

4. Enquiries and Quotations

You may contact us through our website, telephone number or email address to request information or a quotation.

Submitting an enquiry does not create a contract between you and Ground Up Construction Leeds Limited.

Any initial price, estimate or timescale discussed before a full assessment may be provisional. A quotation will be based on the information and access available at the time it is prepared.

Unless stated otherwise, a quotation may be subject to:

A site inspection

Accurate measurements

Confirmation of the project scope

Structural or technical assessments

Material availability

Planning and building-control requirements

Discovery of concealed defects or unexpected site conditions

A separate written contract

A binding agreement will only arise when the relevant quotation, proposal or contract has been accepted in accordance with its stated requirements.

5. Project Contracts

Construction work will be governed by the separate written quotation, proposal or contract agreed for that project.

The project agreement may contain terms relating to:

Scope of work

Exclusions

Price and payment schedule

Deposits

Variations

Materials

Access to the property

Customer responsibilities

Start and completion estimates

Delays

Cancellation

Warranties

Defects and remedial work

Dispute resolution

If there is any conflict between these website terms and an agreed project contract, the project contract will take priority for that project.

6. Planning Permission and Approvals

Some projects may require planning permission, building-regulation approval, party-wall procedures, landlord consent, freeholder consent or other permissions.

Unless a written quotation or project contract expressly states that GroundUp Constructions will obtain a particular approval, the customer is responsible for identifying and obtaining the permissions required for the project.

Where we agree in writing to assist with an application, we cannot guarantee that permission or approval will be granted. Decisions are made by the relevant authority or third party.

Work must not begin where a legally required permission or approval remains outstanding, unless the work can lawfully proceed without it.

Customers must provide accurate information about the property, its ownership, boundaries, restrictions and existing permissions.

7. Accuracy of Website Information

We take reasonable steps to keep website information accurate and current. However, content is provided for general information and may not reflect the particular circumstances of your property or project.

Images may show previous work, illustrative examples or design ideas. Materials, finishes and results can vary between projects.

Nothing on this website constitutes architectural, structural, planning, legal, financial or other professional advice.

You should obtain appropriate specialist advice where required.

8. Website Availability

We do not guarantee that the website will always be available, uninterrupted, secure or free from errors.
