Big news 👊

BuildBud is now ClearPlan™

Due to a potential trademark clash, and our desire to build a brand in our own lane, we’ve decided to rebrand earlier than planned as we continue building towards a bigger vision for the future.

Our mission remains exactly the same: helping homeowners across the UK understand their projects, obtain their drawings, and get clear cost breakdowns before the builders quote.

Same trusted team. Same service.

Knowing your costs before you even speak to builders? That changes everything.

Getting advice from someone who has actually delivered over 300 domestic building projects? That’s invaluable.

And crucially you’re not just getting drawings based on what you think you want…
you’re getting expert, cost-effective design advice to make sure your project is done the right way, not the expensive way.

This could be the smartest early investment you make in your entire project.

What you get from ClearPlan™

* Full house survey
* Complete planning & building regulations drawings
* Structural design and calculations included
* CGI visuals of both internal and external spaces
* A fully itemised cost breakdown to the nearest pound — no vague “cost per m²” estimates

Hi 👋

I’m Ben Boucher, founder of ClearPlan™

Over the years, I’ve been involved in 300+ domestic projects through Home Solutions - Kingswinford working on extensions, renovations and full home transformations.

And one thing always stood out…

People struggle to know where to start.

Do you speak to an architect?
A builder?
How much is it actually going to cost?

Most of the time, you don’t get clear answers until you’ve paid for drawings and waited weeks sometimes months for builder quotes. And even then… which one is actually accurate?

That’s exactly why I started ClearPlan™

We give you:
✔️ Clear advice
✔️ All the drawings you need
✔️ A fully itemised build cost

So you can move forward with confidence — before any builder prices the job.

No confusion. No guesswork. Just a proper starting point.

If you’re thinking about extending your home…
this is where it starts.

Planning a home extension?

Not sure whether to speak to an architect or a builder first?

Here’s the problem…

Architects don’t tell you what it will cost.
Builders can’t quote properly without drawings.

That’s where most people get stuck.

At ClearPlan we solve that first.

✔️ Planning drawings
✔️ Building regulations drawings
✔️ Structural calculations
✔️ CGI visuals
✔️ A fully itemised build cost

So you know exactly what your project should cost…
BEFORE you speak to builders.

No guesswork. No surprises. Just a clear plan.

We’ve launched something new 👇

We’ve added a “News” section to the BuildBud website where we’ll be sharing free, straight-talking advice for homeowners planning extensions and renovations.

No fluff.
No sales pitch.
Just practical guidance to help you avoid budget shocks and site surprises.

We’ll be adding a new article once a week covering things like:

• Building regs explained clearly
• Planning vs permitted development
• How to avoid vague builder quotes
• What really drives extension costs

If you’re thinking about building this year (or next), it’s worth a read.

This. Is. Exactly. Why. We. Exist.

Planning permission granted.
Structural engineer done.
Architect drawings complete.

And now…
“Should we go back to builders and check fixed prices before paying for building control… just in case it’s over budget?”

This is the reality for so many homeowners.

Design first.
Costs later.
Worry in between.

BuildBud flips that around.

We help you understand realistic build costs before builders get involved — with practical build advice, proper drawings, structural input and clear, itemised cost breakdowns.

No guesswork.
No panic at the quotation stage.
No nasty surprises.

If you’re planning an extension or renovation…

Start properly.

We follow a lot of build pages here on Facebook, and we see the same question come up again and again:

“Builders’ prices — everything seems to be quoted per m² now. What’s actually included? Is it accurate? And will costs spiral if it’s all based on loose m² figures?”

This is exactly where Buildbud comes in.

Buildbud gives you clear, detailed costs from the very start, alongside the plans we design for you. No vague m² rates. No guesswork. No waiting on loose estimates from builders.

Know your costs before you invite builders in — with Buildbud.
