Meet Colin

I have been in construction since 1988.

Starting as a hand drawn draughtsman for commercial buildings, I worked on some interesting projects from BMW garages to high specification hospital buildings, collage campus buildings to shopping centres. The commercial business is rather impersonal, so after running my own commercial company since 1996, I decided in 2010 to start in the residential build market.

It has been a new challenge, where you deal directly with the client, who is directly connected to the money and project in question. Building can be a stressful environment and most people dread the idea of phoning a builder. With this in mind I try my best to make the whole experience enjoyable.

This is achieved by applying the same strict controls expected in the commercial market I previously worked in.

With residential building, being proactive is not the only requirement, I would suggest the key elements are trust and communication. This is achieved by being transparent about every aspect throughout. Including giving the negative and positive news when required. Monitoring the work is also important, which in turn keeps momentum , which is also very important.

I enjoy my work , especially enjoying keeping organised and positive until the absolute finish, I hope I can be of service.

Colin and team did a fantastic job on our first story extension. Delivered on time and on budget at a very competitive price. Very clear communication throughout and good transparency on costs. Highly recommended.

We have just had a kitchen extension and patio completed. Despite covid and some limited availability of supplies the work was finished in good time.

All the staff working with Colin were punctual and very obliging and a pleasure to have in our home.
Outside contractors were equally good and adapted to any slight changes we requested.

We are very pleased with the finished job and can recommend Kubrick Construction.

Colin was brilliantly patient with our indecisiveness. He made suggestions and gave advice that was welcome and appropriate. Colin and his team transformed our dilapidated barn into a light-filled usable space that we could not have imagined if we had been left to our own devices.

In particular we really appreciated Colin's knowledge of local traders, his design eye and his clarity over pricing.

Colin and team have built an extension on our house this year and have been absolutely brilliant. Communication has been great throughout, and Colin has been completely transparent about all aspects of cost and pricing - he works really hard to create a relationship based on trust with his clients. I can't recommend Kubrick Construction highly enough.

Kubrick Construction built our double extension in 2019, which included gutting the house to its bones, and extending front, back and up. Colin and his team communicated with us exceptionally well throughout the process, they were considerate from start to finish. Colin helped us problem solve when we needed it, and was gratefully reassuring. Colin was also thoughtful and creative; his suggestions for adjustments to the design inside have dramatically improved the space and light. We would certainly recommend Kubrick Construction.

Colin and his team did an excellent job for me in 2016/17 over alterations and extensions to my house. The work was spot on budget, and within our timescale. His team was friendly and helpful and I was very happy with the result.

Colin and his team did a full restoration of our bungalow and we are absolutely delighted with the result. He listened to our requests and, when appropriate, guided us to make better choices. The work on this house started late last year and finished early this year. It involved external work (drains and ground work). It also involved every room in this 2 bedroom bungalow plus garage - heating, plumbing, roofing, plastering, rewiring, glazing, asbestos removal and removal of internal walls. A full makeover.

Colin employed a number of tradesmen - we are confident that he, because of his extensive experience, does choose and does supervise competent, sensible and reliable specialists.

We can unhesitatingly recommend Colin and his team.
