Step-by-step tasks
Every task in the right order, with dependencies mapped out. Your kitchen layout must be done before first fix electrics. We make sure you know that.
Tools and materials decoded
SDS drill vs combi drill. PZ2 vs Phillips. How many bags of cement for your foundations. The knowledge nobody explains. Until now.
UK building regs covered
Building control inspections, planning permission, party wall agreements. Specific to England and Wales, updated for 2026.
We project managed
a real build.
This started as a spreadsheet during an actual kitchen extension, chasing builders, navigating building control, learning the hard way that your kitchen layout must be done before first fix electrics.
buildwiz.uk is that spreadsheet turned into a proper guide.
8 build phases
From Planning through Completion, each with its own chapter, checklist and BCO inspection points.
763 tasks, in order
Dependencies mapped, so you know your kitchen layout must land before first fix electrics.
