Testimonials for Kim Construction l Builders Olney, Milton Keynes

Refurbishment of Grade II* listed home - Mike Watts

Having taken on the major restoration and extension of a Grade 2* property four years ago, I soon became very disillusioned with the building trade. The first specialist company we used ceased trading after four months. The second company presented me with a six-month project plan, but 12 months later, little had changed and they refused to provide a completion date. Fortunately my replacement Contract Administrator recommended I use KIM Construction. From the outset their positive friendly attitude and professionalism was a breath of fresh air. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking for a building contractor.

"KIM have completed 5 projects for Sansome Hall Architects including individual houses, barn conversions and house extensions. All these projects have been very successful in terms of Client satisfaction.

On projects where the Clients are living on the site it is vital to establish a positive relationship between builder and owner. KIM excel in this both in terms of management and site staff. We have no hesitation in recommending KIM to private Clients and other consultants."

New build home - Harvey Gilbert

"I have used KIM Construction for a major conversion and other smaller jobs and have always found them to be a very good and well organised building company. The work they do is first class and, as importantly, John Durden and his team are good project managers and communicators, so I always feel comfortable and well-informed about the progress of each job. Also, I find the individuals in the team to be very pleasant and a pleasure to deal with.

I certainly recommend KIM Construction as a professional building company."

Residential refurbishment and extension - Robert & Lin Stevens

When we decided to move to Meadow Cottage, we knew that it needed an extension. We contacted KIM Construction who were happy to advise us on the style and basic design, they recommended an architect who they had worked with who drew up the plans.

From the start of the project to it’s completion all the staff at KIM construction were professional, approachable and ready to help and advise on the design. All the men who worked on the build were very skilled and we are absolutely delighted with the result. We would be happy to show Meadow Cottage to any potential customers of KIM construction and cannot praise them enough.

New build home - David Howe

KIM Construction recently completed the build of the house at Great Brickhill after encountering and overcoming several difficulties, Covid19 being the main one, a not very helpful local authority planning office and an architect who left something to be desired!

In spite of all this the final result is a building of a very high standard thanks to the expertise of the KIM team.

Barn conversion - David Crowe

We selected KIM from a number of firms to build our house. Nominally it was a barn conversion but in reality there was so little useful structure to convert that it became a new build. We are confident that we made the correct choice. The staff John Durden uses are indeed very good. Things that stand out in particular are the quality of the stonework, the fireplace, hearth and stove, plumbing, woodwork, plaster work, all of which we were and are very pleased with.

I think the firm is very professional. Communications were good at all times and the project was very well managed. The costs were transparent and any alterations to the original contract were dealt with in a very upfront manner. The overall quality is excellent and I would have no hesitation in recommending the firm to others (as indeed I have done on a number of occasions!).

Commercial conversion of Dutch barn to offices - David Hutchinson

KIM Construction are organised, efficient and very professional. I would be very happy for any potential customers to view the KIM craftsmanship of the building works at Strixton Manor.

The costs are quite fair, a small premium is paid for good communication and a' no fuss' truly professional finish

Residential extension and refurbishment - Bill Martin

"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. 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".
