As well as taking pride in our work on-site, we like to think we provide a comprehensive office service to solve technical problems, quantify materials and help clients visualize potential works. This is particularly useful on projects where there is no architect involved such as smaller renovations, extensions, outbuildings or garden works.
Along with clear pricing and contracts we like to provide as many images as standard with our quotes and we've found our clients like to track their project along with these images to help them appreciate where it's at and how its going.
The video below shows how we plan a small extension for pricing and technical details. Useful also for clients and contractors who struggle to visualize.
As part of our office services, we can also undertake planning applications and complete the building control specifications on your behalf. This helps speed up your project and expedites the integration of changes in design or as technical details change.
We have good relationships with several construction professionals such as engineers, architects, ecologists and planning specialists. So if your project requires these services these can quickly and reliably be sourced and incorporated into the design.
You simply can't survive as a general builder without being well versed in all aspects of construction, so we're just as happy down in a trench fitting a drainage tank as a we are up in the sky rebuilding a chimney.
However, every construction company has their specialist areas or pet aspect of the industry. For us it's close but it has to be carpentry, over the years we have gravitated towards utilizing the benefits of off-site fabrication.
Whilst not suitable for every project we have had good success producing garden offices, sheds, outbuildings and custom wall and roof panels for whole buildings, We do this in our workshop, completing the finishing to whatever degree suits the project best, then transport them to site ready for installation.
The 3 bedroom cabin was constructed in our workshop with the fully finished walls installed in a day and the roof installed and fully finished in another two.
We're a small family business based in rural Bedfordshire. We've been professionally completing construction projects since 2010 and in that time have worked on a vast array of private and commercial projects.
We pride ourselves on diligent customer service, professionalism on site and sharing our technical and regulatory knowledge, to make your project a success.
