William Bowley Projects
New & Custom Home Builders in Dorset
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 20, 2017
“From our first meeting with ‘the Nicks’ we were immediately struck with their enthusiasm and insight into our project. We were impressed with the time and dedication they showed in producing a very well laid out and costed specification based on our initial plan. They are very particular paying careful attention to detail and have built up an excellent team of skilled contractors who all worked to an extremely high standard. They managed to work around us, whilst we continued living in the property, ensuring that we had basic services available at all times - much appreciated in the winter months. During the build Nick Turner was onsite to supervise, and otherwise, was quick to respond to email and texts and kept us informed of any delay or snags. Nick Crick (Customisation King) proposed practical solutions to any problems that arose and they were both particular in leaving the site immaculate at the end of the project. They proved flexible and always listened to our requirements producing a superb end result. Team William Bowley take great pride in their work and we would not hesitate to recommend them for your project. Andy & Trisha B. - April 2016”

“Excellent team of real professionals and skilled craftsmen for whom nothing was too much trouble. They kept us in close touch with the project's progress with regular site meetings which we found very helpful and informative. The builders worked through a freezing winter without demur and kept up to schedule finishing the project on time and on budget. We were particularly impressed with their attention to detail matching the new with the old. After a year they returned and attended to minor snagging problems very quickly. We enjoyed the whole experience with them and were sorry to see them go.”
