When was the work done?
I started using Alan in 2011 and I've had him back several times since to do work around the house. What type of work has been involved?
They've done my kitchen, my bathroom and converted my attic into a bedroom with an ensuite. It's because of the quality of the work that I continue to get G&D back. There's nothing they can't build.
How did you choose G&D Construction Projects Limited?
Word of mouth. I got Alan's number initially from a friend who he had done some work for. I chose Alan because I've been burned before and I won't get anyone anymore without a referral or recommendation.
Had you definite ideas in mind before you talked to Alan and Ray?
Sometimes I do but I alway open it up to Alan to get his feedback and ideas. One of the reasons that I like to use G&D is that Alan has a great eye for everything. I'll ask Alan about an idea that I have and then we sit down together and talk it through.
Do G&D Construction Projects introduce new ideas?
Definitely. I get Alan involved with the projects early on because of his suggestions and his eye for detail. He respects what I'm thinking of but if he thinks there may be a better way, he asks me if I would consider this or that, but in a nice way. He comes up with ideas that I had never considered before. I think I've taken Alan's advice and ideas 9 times out of ten.
How do the projects run?
It goes perfectly! I really like the way that the job is managed and I feel that G&D does things with my best interest in mind. It's only after having had work done previously by other builders that I realize how great I have it with Alan and Ray, I've become a bit spoiled. The workmanship is spot on and I've never had to have them back to redo anything, it's always done right the first time. They do the little things that really make a difference and when the job is completed, the place is left spotless.
I'm hoping to have an extension built next year and I already know that I'll be getting G&D to do it.
What was the biggest benefit to you of using Aan Doyle?
The biggest benefit to me was that I knew that I was going to get quality workmanship. I have total peace of mind when G&D is doing work at my house.
Would you recommend G&D Construction Projects Limited to others?
Without a shadow of a doubt and in fact I have done so. I recommended them to my dad who got them to do some commercial work for him and my brother as well. My brother got Alan do do some commercial and residential work for him and then he recommended Alan on to his own father in law. I will only refer someone that I know and trust and in Alan, I do. I'm just afraid that I won't get Alan back!
Any tips for other people?
I think it's important to get the contractor involved at the start to get their input and ideas. I'm also a big believer in not getting someone to carry out work on your behalf unless they were referred to you.
