Dream Extension Came True
We spent a considerable amount of time searching for the right builder to take care of our kitchen extension project. It was following our daughter’s house extension completed by R J Construction that we realised the decision was relatively easy to make, because her build had been completed in a productive and straightforward manner and the end result was excellent.
Our own project was to extend an inadequately spaced kitchen for a growing family into the garden by 4m with a flat roof single-storey build, and to incorporate full height sliding patio doors on two sides to enable us to enjoy our garden more fully. This would involve landscaping the outside area of the new kitchen to include a 3m patio across the full width of the rear of the house, as well as replacing paths to the perimeter of the property and creating a new area to the front.
From the initial meeting with James and our architect, it was obvious that a sound and close working relationship with James was going to take place, and this gave us a tremendous amount of confidence to actually achieve the dream kitchen and extension that we had wanted and had planned for many years previously. He understood our vision and needs completely, and the quotation we received for the work was extremely competitive and included everything that we had wished for; large 2x1m Velux roof-light, four thermal Smart patio doors for the extension and replacement of French casement doors to the lounge and dining room, and porcelain paving to the large patio, side of house pathways, and paths up to the front door of the house. It was going to be a big job, but James took this in his stride and was not phased by anything that we had asked of him.
We are recently retired and were going to be living in the house during the whole build, and therefore only naturally, we were worried about the effect this would have to our normal daily life, considering we were going to lose a kitchen for 3-4 months and be in the middle of a building site with all the disruption, constant noise and deliveries of building materials. We had a general expectation of mayhem! But James and his excellent team of tradesman, including electricians, plumbers, roofers and plasterers went out of their way to work around us and engage us in every step of the journey, which involved making on-site decisions as the project progressed. There was a huge consideration for us living in the house and we always felt supported. James was extremely accommodating, and we very quickly struck up a very close working relationship with him and Wade. It was so reassuring that James was able to use his vast and extensive knowledge in the construction industry to ensure that excellent standards were maintained by all concerned throughout the project.
Consequently the build was smooth and seamless and we are absolutely delighted with the new extension. We had a clear vision of what we wanted the house to look like, and we are delighted with the outcome. Our remit was answered in full and it was achieved by collaborate thinking and execution. The company is trustworthy, diligent and professional in every respect.
We would not hesitate to highly recommend James and his partner Rob to anyone wishing to undertake a building project in the future, whether that is a new extension to their house, have landscaping done to their garden, or bring any other building project you may have in mind to a prefect conclusion.
