Another Satisfied Customer!

Linley Developments team createed a granny annex for us in the summer and autumn of 2010.  At the same time we aske dthem to think about how we could landscape out sloping garden to create a workable outside space.  Our experience of working with Trevor and his team was very positive from beginning to end.

From Trevor's interpretation and improvement of our placs to the professionalism of his team throughout the build phase, we were delighted with the way that out extension was build.  Trevor's project manager Alfie managed the process for us and made sure that any concerns we had were addressed immediately and although all of the trades worked together seemlessly through Alfie's coordination, the craftsmanship and attention to detail that the core team of Tim and Chris had meant the outcome met out expectation of an outstanding quality build.

Throughout the build there was no scope creep and all of the agreed build milestones were met (or beaten) and although Linley Developments were not the cheapest builder to bid for our work, what they quoted for is exactly what we got.  Since we believe that generally you get what you pay for we were delighted with the premium product that Trevor and his team delivered for us and would not hesitate to recommend their work.

When do you know you have chosen a reputible builder?

You know when you have chosaen a reputible builder when they can show evidence of :-

 

They Belong to a Trade Body - this means the builder will conform to a cade of conduct and disciplinary action of that code is breached;

 

They Have Current Public Liability Insurance - this means that if an accident happens to a member of the public during building works at your property the resultants costs are covered.

 

They Will Be Happy to Give You an Estimate in Writing - this means you will be able to compare estiamtes at your leisure and not have to reply on memory as to what is included in each price

 

They Will Be Happy to Have The Work Agreed in Writing - after all, this is a much to protect the builder as it is to protect you.  Producing a buildig contract is now realtively easy using a JCT pre-printed contract;

 

They Will Not Ask for Unusual Payment Methods - there should be no deposit required unless you request specific materials, no part payments unless the project is going to run for a long time and no special deal to exclude VAT.
