Reviews of CDL Builders

A totally professional job completed. Clear communication throughout, all work was to a very high standard. Would fully recommend Craig and his team for their high standard of work and skills shown throughout the completion of the job.

Excellent work, always on time and friendly personable crew. 

From my observations Craig himself is a bricklayer and ground worker of exceptional standard and couples that with excellent project management.  Prior to starting work he liaised with me over several months to ensure that the approved plans could be enhanced to achieve maximum benefit; and many months in advance of the works starting he presented a detailed timetable and costings, both of which have been kept to fully.  As a local builder of many years experience he has assembled a group of fellow professionals/craftsmen (e.g. carpenter, window-fitter, plasterer, plumber, roofer) with whom he regularly works, all of whom operate to a very high standard and share his desire to get things exactly right.  Their input too is booked many months in advance, with the result that they can be relied upon to turn up at the right time.  Even those whose involvement was minimal (e.g. the scaffolder) performed their task to a very high standard and on time.  In my experience Craig will never cut corners - he always wants the work to be done properly and errs on the side of ensuring that that is the case. As the customer, there are many important decisions to be made along the way, and he always gives advance notice of those so that there is thinking time.

We would like to point out the excellent work carried out by Craig and team. Everything we agreed on was done to a tee and we are very happy. 

Cannot fault any of the team with keeping us up to date with procedures and time schedule.

Thank you so much to you Craig and team.

Craig provided a detailed workplan soon after we accepted the quotation. Each step and job was detailed with the days the work would be done. The plan was adhered to every step of the way despite one or two unexpected problems cropping up along the way. Craig and his highly skilled team dealt with everything with a positive, can do attitude. The project was completed on the day as shown on the workplan.

We cannot recommend CDL Builders highly enough.

This is the second extension Craig has project managed and built for me.  Having worked with other builders, I fully appreciate Craig's attention to detail, communication, great team, quality of work and commitment to the project.

I fully trusted Craig's advice and guidance when discussing issues that came up, and Craig always gave me thinking time to make decisions, which is incredibly important, given that I am the one left with the output!

Craig is the only builder I have worked with that has kept to the time plan and finished when he said he would.  I felt that I was his priority throughout the build and he was always available to answer any questions that I had.

It's through Craig's planning and attention to detail that enables him to stay on track and on top of his project.

Craig's build quality and brick work is exceptional, you wouldn't know it was extended!  And this goes for all of his commited team that he works with, they are all highly skilled and customer focused.

Craig is without a doubt, my No.1 go to builder.

Now for the crunch issue - value for money! and my answer is absolutely!  Craig's quote was comparable with the two others I received, and that coupled with the things that money can't buy (time keeping, attention to detail, communication etc) it was a no-brainer decision for me.  All expected costs were laid out up front, and the payment scheme refected the completed stages of the project. 

I trust Craig to deliver, what he says he will deliver, to the highest quality standard, and on time.  Based on my past two experiences, I will always recommend Craig.

I can’t praise Craig and his team (John, George, Adamo, Joe, Chinzi, Hayden, Alan and Chris  …. hopefully I haven’t forgotten anyone!) enough. In the last 8 weeks they have been a delight to have on my premises… taking down my old metallic “conservatory”, and building me a super new brick utility room and WC.

Project planned and managed exactly to that plan and cost. I knew exactly who would be on site each and every day. We hit a few inevitable challenges along the way, but I was always kept informed and we agreed together how to resolve them.

The team worked like trojans and in some particularly grim weather – without complaint, from 7am through to 2pm. The quality and standard is second to none, Craig (and team) always strive for perfection and making sure that the customer gets the best outcome.  

In addition to my new extension, my cats also have a new under cover cat run too.

I am absolutely over the moon with the end result, as indeed are the cats. I would happily recommend CDL to anyone and would use them again in a heartbeat.

Thank you guys, sounds odd, but gonna miss you not being around!.

We wanted to create a bedroom downstairs as my legs are no longer working as well as they did. We got some quotes from several builders, however, on first meeting Craig I was very impressed with him and how he explained everything. I knew then he was the man for the job.

Now that the extension is completed, we are over the moon with the results. Craig and his team did an absolutely fantastic job and we cannot fault them.

We would highly recommend CDL Builders without any hesitation.

Craig is meticulous down to the last detail, he gives you a precise detailed summary of the build from day to day.

I received a daily briefing as to what going to happen that day, Craig and his team started at 7am and worked through solid till 2pm every day.

Once you have contracted Craig, your build is the only one he will do during the time scale alotted. None of this starting the build and then disapearing for a week or so.

CDL builders aren't the cheapest by any means but he isn't the most expensive either. You get what you pay for and never fear it will be money well spent.

I shall be using CDL builders again, I don't think I could go elsewhere now. 10/10

Craig was recommended by work colleagues. From the first time he came to our property and onwards he never let us down.

Craig and John and all of his team were extremely reliable, polite and considerate to our needs.

Their work is of the highest standard possible; Craig had the forthought to plan in all future mobility needs.

Craig said from the start he would turn up on day 1 and come everyday until the work was completed to our satisfaction day 63.

He gave us a full written itinerary and payment plan, we knew exactly from week to week what they were doing and the times they would arrive including deliveries of materials.

They all showed great respect for our property cleaning up daily leaving it safe for our dog and young grandchildren.

We cannot fault any of the work Craig and his team have done for us.

All his work is of the best quality and I have no problem recommending him and his team as I already have done to other work colleagues.

You will not find anyone better.
