Testimonial – Advance Building Solutions
"I would not hesitate to recommend Bob to clients, friends and family"

Dear Bob, 

Testimonial – Advance Building Solutions, 74 Gaunts Way, Letchworth, SG6 4PL 

I approached Bob when a sale that was about to exchange was close to collapse due to a problem with internal alterations. The buyers’ solicitor had advised their client not to exchange without the building regulations certificate present, which the vendor could not provide.

I explained to Bob what had happened – a builder had essentially removed most of an internal wall in the kitchen to create a bigger room. The wall in question was load bearing and although the builder had installed a Rolled Steel Joint (RSJ) it was not clear whether it had been completed safely and with Building Regulations in mind.

At very short notice, Bob came to inspect the wall and explained that the only way to determine if things had been completed satisfactorily, was to expose the steel beam. His sigh gave the game away quite quickly and he advised our client that unfortunately in his professional opinion, the steel was a fair way short of what was required. With that in mind and to give our vendor peace of mind he came back an hour or so later to install acrow props to ensure the wall was supported safely.

In order to obtain a regularisation certificate, the vendor needed a Structural Engineer to provide drawings and calculations to determine what length of steel was required. Bob very quickly introduced a firm who was able to attend on the same day (not something I or the vendor would have been able to arrange) and three days later we had the drawings and calculations Building Control needed.

Bob had already ordered the appropriate steel and booked in the remedial works to remove the existing one and install the new one the following working day and completed the work with photos etc. for Building Control sign off.

Without Bob’s years of experience and expertise together with his business contacts this would not have been possible and, the sale would have been lost. I would not hesitate to recommend Bob to clients, friends and family

Thank you again, Bob!

Advance Building Solutions carried out a garage conversion to create a utility room and a study. They also constructed a canopy porch on the front of the house.
 
We were very pleased with the work in that:
 
  • It was of good quality, on time and on budget
  • Bob, Pete and Jamie did most of the work themselves apart from the plastering and electrical work which was sub-contracted to firms they had used before
  • Additional electrical work that we required was well managed with costs being determined up front
  • They worked well with the local Building Control to meet our needs (for example the insulation required)
  • They were efficient, friendly and tidy.
 
We would happily recommend them.
 
Peter S. of Hitchin, Hertfordshire.

Testimonial from
"Bob you came highly recommended. You visited my home on a Tuesday to give me a quote for replacement soffit and fascia boards and by the Thursday I was visiting BNI and was persuaded to become a member. Your team arrived to carry out the work. They were professional, tidy and hard workers. The work is of the highest standard and I am really impressed at how it has enhanced my property. My friends and neighbours have commented on how good a job has been carried out. Your team cleared up afterwards and put everything back in its place. I would recommend you and your team to anyone looking for a professional, value for money and high standard quality of workmanship. Thank you. "

"I am generally not in favour of writing references as people have such differing standards and requirements. However, in this case, I am willing to make an exception.

From the first pre-start site meeting to the completion of the works within the contract period, I have been kept fully informed on a day to day basis, of the programme of work. On the very rare occasion of nobody being on site, I had always known in advance. The team has always been good humoured and tolerant even when I have added or changed my requirements for the build. They were very trustworthy, organised, tidy and extremely polite to my elderly next door neighbours, and kept them informed as to what was occurring and when which was essential if the build was to run smoothly.

The quality of work was to a very satisfactory standard and I would be more than happy to use Advanced Building Solutions again in the future."

"Myself and my wife instructed Advanced Building Solutions in November of 2011 to build a 2 story extension along with various internals work as well. Bob and his team were on site on and off for 5-6 months to which they completed the job to a high and satisfactory standard. As both I and my wife worked we were able to entrust Bob and his team at our property and for Bob to manage the project without us being on site each day. Bob kept us up to date with progress throughout the project, continually via emails and calls. They organised all the various trades to be on site at the right time and various material deliveries.

Thanks to Bob and his team we have a great additional space to our property and would not hesitate to call upon their services in future."
