JM Building

I have worked with JM Building Developments on various projects over the last few years providing architectural design services. They are easy to deal with and their approach is very professional with the customer in mind. All the customers that we have dealt with on our shared projects have been very happy with the process and the end result. I look forward to working on future projects with JM. Keep up the good work.

A brilliant company. We recently had our extension built by JM Builds. From the start they were professional and friendly. Everything was very well organised and we were constantly updated. They were easy to get hold of and responded quickly if we had any questions. They were clear and concise with schedules and billings. Costs were managed well and there were no surprises. We were billed what we thought we would be when we would be. We are so pleased with our extension. It’s exactly what we asked for - great quality and finished to the perfect spec. The team are fab. From the bricklayers to the carpenter, decorator, the office team - everyone. Cannot fault them. Would not hesitate to use them again.

My wife and I had a kitchen extension built by JM Builders. From the start of the project to the final snagging we felt that we were treated like valued customers. A real feature of their work is that they break down the job into sections and make sure that the customer is fully aware of what is happening on a week by week basis. All JM Builders staff gave us the impression that they cared, from the groundwork staff to the decorators. Now, if we have any work doing, however minor, we speak to JM Builders first.

We signed a fixed price contract with JM building in October 2022 for which they tendered in August 2022. Our expectation is that since they have inspected the site a few times, took their time (2 months) to prepare and agree to a fixed price contract, they should be able to complete the agreed scope of works at the agreed price and agreed timescale. The reality is that they reported issues after attending for 2 days and asked to reduce scope of works whilst not reducing price reasonably. It took us two months to re-negotiate the revised scope and revised price primarily because 1) their communication was super slow - taking 2-3 weeks to respond, the longest response time was more than 1 month; and 2) they change the price of the contract unreasonably even though it started as a fixed price contract. When the revised scope and price were finally agreed 2 months after the project originally started (with only 1 minor amendment from the original contract), they were not able to start work within a reasonable timescale (7 days), or provide a start date of the project in accordance with the contract. We have terminated the contract accordingly. Very frustrated at how our house were left with no radiators during the coldest months of the winter in addition to the severe delay in moving in. At the time of writing (February 2023) we are still unable to get any of our deposit back. I have to say I simply do not have confidence in the integrity of this company. The communications are just very, ridiculously slow.

JM Building Developments built a large architect-designed single storey extension to our home. The design was complex, and unique but they did not shy away from delivering exactly what was required on time and in budget.
