Right from our initial contact via e-mail we were impressed by the efficiency and professionalism of EGR. This was reinforced during the initial site visit and subsequent negotiations.

For family reasons we needed accommodation in close proximity to an existing property. An annexe was considered to be the ideal solution, so we set about designing a floorplan that was adapted from previous house builds that we had undertaken in France.

We contacted 3 providers of Garden Annexe buildings and held consultation with them on site and by e-mail. We were then able to review initial designs and quotes in order to ascertain the most suitable solution.

Having decided to work with EGR, we held regular discussions with Alison in order to further refine our project. For each aspect of the interior (kitchen, bathroom, flooring, etc.) we were advised the budget allowed for in the quote and given free choice as to the products used. Anything above or below the budget was adjusted in a list of Contract Variations.

Alison handled all contact with the local planning office and a date was set for the project to commence. From day 1 through to completion, John was on site every day and worked tirelessly to keep the project on track and complete on time.

Each weekend we received a plan detailing the works scheduled for the forthcoming week. Any variations decided during construction were accommodated where possible.

Regular liaison between EGR and Building Control ensured that the project met building regulations and approvals.

A thorough clean was carried out prior to handover as well as an explanation of how certain features worked (heating, etc.).

At the conclusion of the project, all we had to do was add furniture. A real turnkey solution.

The result exceeded our expectations. The build and quality of finish is excellent. It is a really pleasant environment in which to live.

From beginning to end (and beyond) Alison and John have listened, communicated and delivered. Without hesitation we would recommend their services to anyone that might be considering an annexe.
