- Fire safety, smoke alarms, and escape routes
- Insulation, ventilation, and thermal efficiency

Here’s what our clients have to say.
This was my first project and I was nervous at the beginning as every thing was new to us. Nadir was very helpful in guiding us through the entire project from planning stages to choosing materials to assigning builders; giving us assurances that the project would be finished on time and on budget. He also provided us with ideas for interior design. The build was of high quality with great care taken throughout. Geroge and his team were excellent builders and really gave us a peace of mind. There were issues with some of the materials (not their faults but due to Covid restrictions and the subcontractors), all of which were sorted out by Nadir and George between themselves. I’m hugely impressed by the after build care (nagging jobs and other issues). They were all addressed without fuzz.
A true test of a beautiful house is whether you are proud of showing it to guests. I’d say this project has passed this test with the highest score. We are still in love with the extension 3 years after it has finished. We’ve also received a lot of compliments from our guests.
I highly recommend both Nadir and George for their service.
