About buildwiz.uk

buildwiz.uk is operated by Octasoft Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales. Our website provides educational guidance for UK homeowners who are project-managing their own home construction projects, such as kitchen extensions, loft conversions, and other residential builds.

Important disclaimer

The content on buildwiz.uk is for general educational and informational purposes only. It is not professional advice.

Every building project is different. Factors such as property age, location, soil conditions, local planning authority requirements, and structural considerations mean that generic guidance cannot replace professional input. You should always:

• Consult a qualified architect or architectural technologist for design and planning.
• Engage a structural engineer for any structural calculations.
• Check with your local planning authority and building control body for requirements specific to your project and location.
• Use qualified, insured tradespeople for all construction work.
• Seek legal advice where matters such as party wall agreements, contracts, or boundary disputes are concerned.

We make every effort to ensure our content is accurate and up to date, but we cannot guarantee it is complete, correct, or applicable to your specific situation. Regulations, costs, and best practices change over time.

Free and paid content

buildwiz.uk offers both free and paid content. Free content includes the project tree structure, blog posts, and selected knowledge guides. Paid content provides detailed, step-by-step guidance for specific tasks and phases.

We reserve the right to change which content is free and which is paid at any time.

Refund policy

In accordance with the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, you have a 14-day cooling-off period from the date of purchase during which you may request a full refund of any paid content, for any reason.
