would not recommend. the design was good, the communication was decent; however the builder they…read moreuse often was a complete cowboy. started January with a June 5 finish date stated, finished on November 11th according to them, only because i had to keep emailing to get them to finish as he was busy with bigger projects. one person working on the project at a time. one month no one turned up for three weeks. A tutton was the builder (Alan tutton kent area i believe). im still being emailed because they haven't actually finished sealing the steel works on bean outside so wilkinson construction consultants are on my case telling me it needs to be resolved with a time limit, which i have no idea how to resolve. laminate floor sinking in even though i was promised it wouldn't get worse than it already is, will have to pay for someone to come and redo half of it as the floorboards are now on different levels. dimmer switches dont dim properly and change brightness by themselves. switches get hot and have to pay electrician to fix it. rendering not finished, builder took scaffold away after i said he was taking ages for a small project, had to pay £900 for more scaffold to fix contracted rendering to the new part of the house. bluelime was decent at first but sided much with their preferred builder. project was delayed from month 2 however the builder said it wasn't so project manager zohaib just agreed even though you can clearly see its behind. holes in light switches not even filled in so i have holes all around the house. getting minor shocks from them as well which I'm sure is not safe. plumbing running through bedroom with no filling inside to stop any noise so any flush wakes up person sleeping in that room. uneven flooring in new build. first excuse when mentioned was its never going to be perfect because its on old flooring, but when i mention the new build new flooring is uneven there is no response. very unprofessional in the end which is sad because the start of things seemed very promising. the architect done a good job with the design, if you use these refuse Alan tutton as your builders or be prepared for a cowboy to show up with a smile on his face pretending he's amazing when he does bother to show up. also be prepare for blue lime to side generally with the builder. if you use this company get the design and planning permission from them only do not waste your money on anything else with them just go elsewhere do your own research for a builder and team don't make my mistake

It was the best thing we've ever done as we now have the most beautiful home and Jo worked amazingly within a really strict budget (I was initially worried she would turn us down). I wouldn't say we are her everyday high-end luxury clients, but Jo treated us as though we were and we absolutely love our house (which actually looks like we did spend a fortune - it's amazing).
