Double garage conversion with first floor extension
"After struggling to obtain reliable quotes from a number of builders, Dave was quick to respond, come and assess the job and give a good quote. Dave and his team kept to the timescale advised and always left the house as tidy as they could. I have recommended them to others."
Start to finish without grief
"I engaged DR Building and Construction Ltd to do my extension through recommendation, looking at projects that they had completed and discussing my project and requirements. Throughout the build I was kept fully informed of what was happening. DR controlled all various elements like electrics, plumbing, tiling and liaisons with the building inspectors etc. The project started on time and was completed on time. I am thoroughly happy with the work done and would recommend DR if asked."
Electrics, fire doors and other refurb work
"Had a great experience. Lovely bunch of hard working, and reliable lads."
Reroofing and insulating an existing extension
"I recently had Dave Ritchie and his team reroof and insulate an old extension, as well as replace a door and window. I'm really pleased with the result – the quality of workmanship is excellent. Dave gave a fair price, kept to the agreed timeframe, and kept me informed throughout. The team were punctual, tidy, and friendly. I'll definitely be using Dave again and have no hesitation in recommending him."
Upgrade of outhouse and outside toilet to a workshop
"DR Building & Construction provided a first class job from start to finish! Very fast with responding to my request, great communication from initial conversation, site survey, carrying out the work on site and finishing the job. Very informative, fast and concise workmanship and always kept the work area clean and tidy. If you want a professional service offering an excellent job, flawless communication and a good price then DR Building & Construction are the ones to call! 10/10"
Two floor one bedroom annex
"Amazing company to have doing building work. Richie is highly skilled and experienced and his organisation is next level — everything is delivered and done exactly when it needs to be. Great communication. Very tidy while working and always left the site tidy at the end of the day. Highly recommend."
External building works
"Brilliant service from start to finish. Fantastic communication and explained everything from start to finish and the end product was exactly what we visioned. Dave and his team were very hard working and a pleasure to have around during the works."
Top floor extension to bedroom
"A very reliable and trustworthy builder who delivered a cost effective solution for us to our budget. Straightforward and easy to deal with, excellent communication and customer service — would wholly recommend."
Garage foundation
"DR Building and Construction were hired to build the foundations of a 4 bay garage. Excellent standard of work from Dave and his team with great communication throughout the building process. All at a very competitive price. I would recommend and look to hire them again for any future work."
RSJ to create open plan kitchen diner & new bathroom
"Dave and his team were in constant contact and worked to deadline. Very easy and informal communications which made it easy for me to manage. They solved unexpected problems quickly and were open and transparent at all times. I'd definitely have Dave and his team back for further work and am happy to recommend them to friends and family."
Garden room extension
"Dave was very reliable, hardworking & very knowledgeable about the job. There were no gaps waiting for other tradesmen as Dave organised every aspect of the build. I would highly recommend him."
Full kitchen extension with utility and WC
"Great builder — very reliable and his timekeeping was spot on. Would gladly employ him again."
