Highlights
"Another great job carried out by Carter Construction, 2nd entire double room plastered with professionalism and second to none workmanship, give it a couple of months and will be needing your services again on the 3rd one ! A pleasure to have you come and work on our house can’t recommend enough 👍"
"Ryan and his team is very reliable and helpful. Very good communication and everything is sticked to the plan we discussed. Also he is willing to help/ give advice if needed."
"Ryan and the team have been brilliant in all areas - workmanship, timekeeping, project management and problem solving (thank you!). Ryan was initially subcontracted through our glazer and we have been so impressed with the work carried out that we will be employing the team independently to carry out other jobs on our house renovation."

Before you hire a builder
Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
