Custom Home Builders in Exeter

“We worked with the guys at Complete Carpentry for one of our landscaping projects in Paignton. They were tasked with building an outdoor garden room for the client, of which they did a superp job. We ourselves work to very high standards, of which their own work complimented this perfectly, and we would be more than happy to work with them again on future projects. Oli - Legendary Landscapes”

“Having never undertaken building work before, we entered the process with some trepidation. A colleague strongly recommended HighSpec and from the outset it was clear they were the most professional of the 3 quoting companies. There was a very personal touch in Andrew’s meetings . We weren’t rushed at all and he was happy to guide us through the various complexities. The quote was clear and not littered with “provisional sums” seen in other estimates. This gave us confidence in choosing them. Ultimately the work did not increase in cost throughout the full 6 month project, apart from some additions we chose to make along the way (including underfloor bathroom heating – highly recommended!) We had extensive work done – a full loft conversion with en suite, and 2 additional bathrooms, plus new plumbing and electrics throughout. At all times, the whole team from HighSpec were friendly and respectful. We had a very open working relationship, in which we invited them to give views on our ideas, based on their experience. It was genuinely enjoyable having them in the house. They were great with our kids, and a pleasure to chat to during breaks in ours and their working schedules. We never once saw them start late, or down tools early. Hassan, Dave and Alex are clearly excellent craftsmen. We appreciated their perfectionism and attention to detail.

“HM Construction built our contemporary, eco friendly home. The build straddled one of the wettest winters on record and the 2020 Covid 19 lock down. Despite this they delivered our home from start to finish within 12 months which was an incredible performance. One of our neighbours who is a builder himself said he had never seen such a professional, hard working team. Phil and Lee, the owners of HM are a delight to work with. They have significant experience is specifying and managing jobs and present very realistic timetables and fair budgets. They also do not inflate prices for extras but work within the spirit of the contract. They keep you well informed throughout the process. Their team, which is a mixture of direct employees and sub-contractors are all delightful. They were very fair with the snagging - and were flexible in working around our plans. I have no hesitation at all about highly recommending HM for any bespoke construction work. The whole experience from start to end was an absolute pleasure.”

“With Carpenter Oak you're not just a client, you become part of the family! We turned up unexpectedly at the wrong time for our meeting and were taken under the wing of the carpenters themselves. Mugs of tea, bowls of water for our dogs, humour, a great smell of oak and demonstration of their skill and passion sold Carpenter Oak to us more than any sales presentation could ever do. And a year or more later nothings changed, great on site, flexible with their designs, care for their products passionately and always get back to you. Highly recommended.”

“We first used GH Walters & Son in 2012 when they took on a major project at our home for Disabled Facilities. The work that initially was deemed to be a 6-8 week job turned into 6 months, due to many unforeseen issues with the project, not with the Builder, not helped by me adding various extra jobs along the way, which Mr Walters was very patient about and accommodated me with whatever ideas I had. I am not an easy client to work for, I insist on high standards and do not tolerate poor workmanship. When this first contract came to an end I could not have been more pleased and I knew I would be calling upon this firm for future projects. Since then we have employed GH Walters & Son to do a number of jobs for us, including a new 2nd Bathroom, redecorating our main lounge, dealing with two external gable walls, cladding both, redecorating the whole of our large Bungalow externally, rendering walls, new flashing and tiles on our roof, the list is a long one and even in the case of emergencies they are with us as quickly as they can be sorting any and all issues out. In fact since 2012 there has only been one year when they have not come and done some form of work or another for us, no job is too small, no task too much, in fact they are almost like family now and we would not think about employing anyone else to do work for us. In 2021/22 we are hoping to be able to sign them up to fit a new Kitchen for us and I have no doubt that there will be some other jobs, between now and then, that will need their attention too! I do not hesitate in recommending this Builder he is honest, reliable, fair, patient and professional, traits which these days are hard to find.”

“Nicky and the team were so respectful of my needs and my obsession for it to be a clean job as I hate mess! We invited more than 7 or 8 builders to give us a quote for our one storey extension and we'd made up our minds within 30 seconds that most of them weren't the right builders for us. With Nicky, it was the opposite and we knew from the off that he was the right builder. He was friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and above all a perfectionist which clearly came across, and nothing less than a perfect job would do for him. Nicky gave us confidence and delivered on his promises, was reliable (very rare in this trade!) and throughout the whole process he kept us updated, explained what was going on and only charged us as each stage of the process was completed with a clear breakdown. He went out of his way on several occasions to save us money (he's as honest as the day is long) and finished the job on time to an exceptional standard. I honestly can't recommend him enough. Tradesmen like Nicky and his fantastic team really are rare diamonds and if you use them, you won't be disappointed.”

“I am working with Honka on a chalet project in Cornwall and they have been extremely professional throughout the process. 3D visuals and 2D drawings have been produced at all stages and for all changes made so that we have been able to ensure that the building will meet our requirements. Choice of fixtures, fittings and finishes has been made clear and samples have been produced on request. The delivery and building program are on time and, as the cost is fixed, on budget. Excellent!”

“Mew Developments have worked with us for over 6 years on a number of projects to develop and renovate our property. They are honest and trustworthy and the work they carry out is to a very high standard. We would not hesitate in recommending them. They always ensure that our budget is respected.”

“I would highly recommend Adam's company. He and his workforce are always courteous, hard working and work to a very high standard. I have used his services for around four years and have never had any problems.”
