Report
Robert created a two car parking area by excavating an area of garden and building retaining walls and beautiful stone paving. He saved us money by suggesting practical engineering solutions and dealt with the architect, structural engineer, planners and building control. The team worked through foul weather to get the project in on time too. Highly recommended

Report
Robert and the team have a practical can-do approach which added enormous value to our renovation project. They really helped with creative ideas and problem solving. Most importantly, he was on site daily, driving our project and all contractors as well as keeping us up to date with progress. My recommendation would be to call Robert BEFORE you get into detail with an architect. He could save you money and complications.
