Highlights
"We had a great experience with Design Build Manage, led by Joe, with Vince and Harvey also working on the project. They built a downstairs toilet, created an opening for bi-fold doors, and completed various internal alterations to a high standard. They were reliable, considerate, and made my partner and me feel comfortable throughout the work. Particular care was taken as our home is a Grade II listed building, and their attention to detail was excellent. We’re very happy with the results and would happily recommend them."
"I’ve had a lot of building works completed over the years and I have to say these are the best I’ve ever used, they were always on time, worked hard and delivered the extension finished ahead of the expected date. The quality of their work was excellent and the cost was very competitive. I won’t be using anyone else for future building work except these guys. I would highly recommend Joe and his team."
"Joe and Harvey stripped out my old bathroom and fitted a completely new suite. Joe not only came highly recommended but was able to show me plenty of other work he had done in the area. Joe helped me in the planning of the work and selection of materials to make the most of the space. Joe and Harvey were very clean and courteous in their work, and certainly didn't waste any time. I've had nothing but positive comments on the workmanship and am actively planning a house extension which Joe will be my preferred contractor. You won't be disappointed."

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.
