> "We cannot fault the work carried out. We had a full rear extension and a side first floor extension. They were excellent throughout. James and his team were always on hand to help out and talk us through every aspect of the build. Without such a committed and dedicated builder we wouldn’t have the house of our dreams. The quality of work was so good. We felt comfortable in our own home even in the upheaval of a house renovation we were not forgotten about. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, top quality building team then James, Luke and his team are your guys!"

> "James and his team were reliable, courteous, polite and very helpful through the whole job. Keeping us constantly updated going above and beyond to get things right. Giving us options and suggesting alternatives. Can’t recommend James building and construction enough."

## Before you hire a builder
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- 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.
