Home Builders in Burnham, Canterbury

“James and I had the pleasure of working with Nick and Ashley of AO Architecture while planning the renovation and extension of our 100 year old home in St Albans We had numerous meetings with Nick and Ashley to discuss our project. We wanted our home to be practical and user-friendly, cosy, warm, good looking and to retain much of the original character of the house. The end result is all of that and more and we are extremely happy with it. Nick and Ashley were both determined for their design to meet our needs/wants. At the same time, they were always able to come up with new ideas and solutions when we came across roadblocks. They dealt with the council efficiently (something we wouldn’t have been able to do) and communicated regularly and easily with us. The whole process was smooth and they were both a pleasure to work with. We have ended up with a house that feels like it will be our ‘forever home’. We love it. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending AO architecture to anyone building or renovating a home. James and Emily”

“From the get go we decided that communication was a very important part of the build process and it quickly became apparent that Build7 were on the same page. Within 3 days of meeting Jamie for the first time we had a quote and basic plan in our hands. He was understanding of our budget constraints and was excellent at coming up with alternatives to make our ideas come to life. There are no hidden agendas or costings with Build7, all contractor quotes were provided to us. We really appreciated this as it made us feel comfortable that we were not being taken for ride, which we know is something that can happen for first time builders. We signed up with Build 7 and were quickly introduced to the rest of the team whose communication was just as good as Jamie's. We had fulfilling and helpful meetings with everyone, from colour consultants through to electricians. Each and everyone of them taking as much pride in their work as Build7 did. We broke ground in September. The build process and communication continued to be absolutely seamless from this point on as we were able to move into our house within 15 weeks; 1 month ahead of schedule. We had regular site meetings throughout the process to ensure we were always fully informed, and if we had any questions about what was going on Jamie was always happy to respond. As first home buyers we feel very lucky to have come across Build7. They went above and beyond throughout the whole experience, including pushing to get us in to our house just before Christmas. Thanks to Build7 we now have a beautiful home and cannot recommend these guys more highly. We can't wait to build another home with Build7 in the future.”

“We built a 3 bedroom Fraemohs kitset home about 30 years ago, and then added another bedroom and bathrrom not long after. If you want warmth in the winter, and cool in the summer, there's nothing better than natural timber. Friends we sceptical of the wood finish, but we never tired of the lovely pine knots and grain. Sadly we sold and moved away, but have always wanted to do it again, although next time we wouldn't build ourselves... getting too old for that. They were a great company to deal. I note their latest designs look great too.”
