It
was with some trepidation that we approached the prospect
of building our own home. How big is building your own house?
Scary!...... Building horror stories are legion. We unearthed
a local builder who had nice blue vans. Our first step was
to contact him and things went remarkably smoothly. He took
us through from start to finish: the complete package.
The advice, attention to detail, standard or workmanship
and timescale were first class. In fact we had no complaints
and could find no faults.
Stephen Gardiner - He's your man.

We
have used Stephen Gardiner on two occasions to build houses
for us. On both occasions we have been delighted with the
exceptionally high standard of his staff and of the high
quality of their trademanship. He built an award winning
timber clad colonial house for us and also converted a listed
church to a 4 bed family home.
The quality finish has been so good we have hardly had any
snagging. He is always attentive and quick to revisit if
their was ever a problem. We would strongly recommend his
companies services to our friends if they were considering
building, and we would not hesitate to use his company again
in the future. I work within the building industry for a
national house builder and expect a high standard of workmanship
which in my opinion Stephen Gardiner delivers.

Building
a house with Stephen Gardiner is a new and very refreshing
experience. In 22 weeks he built our 2,800 sq. ft. timber-framed
house, standing on a solid concrete platt, together with
a stable block for four horses, all done through the winter
months with no detriment to the fabric of the building.
The process throughout, form cutting the first sod of ground
to handing over the keys, was one of informed discussion,
ensuring that we got everything just as we wanted it. Nothing
was too much trouble. His efficiency meant that no time
was lost - the right members of his team were on site at
just the right moment when that particular trade was needed,
to progress the job as smoothly as possible. The result
was a house which was home the moment we walked through
the door, and we have had no problems with it since.
The day he finished the contract we stood outside the house
we had so wanted to build, and saw it as one of the great
experiences of our lives. Our words to him were:'With you
as the builder, we would do this all over again any day.'
And we meant it.

After
buying a building site in Auchterarder I had to decide whether
to self build or employ a builder. The first option would
have been less expensive but the downside would have been
the hassle of managing the project while holding down a
full time job. I felt the best way to keep my sanity and
get the house built before I became too old to enjoy it
was to use a builder. After asking around and looking at
other houses he had built I approached Stephen Gardiner
and agreed a price and a build programme. What impressed
me in addition to the build quality, which I had already
checked out, was the commitment to the completion of the
job on the agreed timescale at the agreed price. I bought
the site in August, approvals were granted in December,
the building work started in February and the keys handed
over in the July.
I have no reservations when it comes to recommending Stephen.
Fair price, high quality, easy to deal with and an awareness
of the importance of customer satisfaction and reputation
make him someone I would go back to.
