Helena’s vision and requirements Helena is a Leadership Development coach, facilitator and consultant and she wanted to get away from working in the house.

This space has now helped her become more focussed and inspired working from home.

Creig excelled in all departments but especially noticeable was the combination of:
- great communication
- extremely easy to work with
- great attention to detail/not willing to accept any sub standard finishes
- genuinely cares about doing a great job
- provides great guidance where choice/design is required
- extremely courteous and considerate.
We would give Creig our highest possible recommendation. Basically, if we ever have to do building work in the future he will be our first and last stop.

Creig and his team have created a space at the bottom of our garden that has transformed our lives, much more than we could have ever hoped for.
Creig listened to our needs, worked with our ideas and with a mix of his experience and knowledge we got a perfect garden room. Thank you.

Creig hand built an amazing Garden Room for us. We spent some time looking at specialist companies and found that they offered really only the shell, typically pre-fabricated on limited foundations, and that we would then have to source someone for plumbing and bathroom fitting, and anything else that was required. That pushed the price right up for a project we would then have to manage. When we met Creig, he was able to adapt to our space and requirements and through his experience was able to make recommendations that both improved the quality and made savings where they were relevant. We are delighted with the outcome, and we could see the skill and craftsmanship that went into it as he and the team built it. The finished product is an excellent space that can really feel like part of our house, in look and style, inside and out.

I just built new garden studio in the area which was difficult to access. We had some decking installed around it but it did not feel very secure over cantilevered edge. Creig took a good look at the project and came up with excellent modern solution. Creig was very clear in pricing structure and stuck to the budget. The decking and glass fence are of excellent quality and decking feels much safer to walk on. The stairs were also clad, making it more visually attractive which was Creig's idea. I would recommend Creig and his team for hard landscaping and any carpentry or building work as his work is of excellent quality in a timely fashion and he gives excellent advice.

I run my own business and, for the last 7 years, have done it from a desk in the middle of our living room. Not ideal! No room for books and paper work. No boundary between work and life. And it was always visible.
Now we have an office at the bottom of our garden and it’s been life changing because I now have a clearer boundary between work and the rest of my life. I have all my books to hand and can spread myself around. There’s plenty of space for a second desk which means my husband can work there too, when needed. It’s well insulated and the build quality is excellent. We’re so pleased with how it looks and feels – and love working there.
Creig was great to work with; flexible as we talked through design options, he had a good team on the ground, was always responsive when we needed to check something and clear when he needed to recommend something (like not skimping on insulation).
I would highly recommend him and his work.
