CASE STUDY HARROLD & BIDDENHAM 

The aim was to add extra space to the home without comprimising the look of the house. The brick was matched carefully and the design was sympathetic to the house. A hand-crafted wooden conservatory was added to make the most of the garden. The client for this project was Marihelen Essam who has used KIM to renovate two houses; one in Olney and this one in Biddenham. 

 

She said: "Both renovations were very extensive, involving extensions, new kitchens, re-wiring, plumbing, damp proof courses, etc. As a result we’ve had the homes we bought transformed into the homes we love....The work is excellent." 

"The quality of the work and the range of services and the fact that they are local were definitely influencing factors." 

 

"KIM also put a project manager in charge of the work, so we only had to deal with one person on a day to day basis." 

"In all large projects there will be unexpected twists and turns. We knew this would happen because John Durden told us they would. As a result, when things did slip we knew we could work around the issues to find solutions. The project manager and the whole team were very flexible and pleasant to deal with." 

 

"KIM will stand by their work. We continue to use them for repair and maintenance and, as they know the house, they understand how it was all put together, the ongoing service they provide is excellent. Having a project manager whose immediate response is “NO problem” when asked if we could change or amend previously agreed plans was absolutely exceptional!" 

The Martin's have used KIM Construction for many alteration projects over the past fifteen years. So when a major new extension and interior changes were required at their home in Harrold, we were proud to be chosen for the building work. 

 

Mr. Martin explained: "We have used KIM Developments for two major renovation works, and several smaller jobs. All have been done with great professional skill, and excellent craftsmanship." 

 

Mr. Martin added: "The performance on earlier jobs done for us was outstanding.They demonstrate an excellent professional approach in every phase of their work, including design, production, and clerical elements. Disagreements were rare, but were always negotiated amicably and quickly."
