Loft conversion and internal alterations.
We would not hesitate to recommend Lee Hawkins trading as Contrast Construction.  Lee undertook a loft conversion and internal alterations for us - July-Sept 2008. The whole job ran smoothly and within the time schedule.  Lee's organisation and abilities were commendable, ensuring that all associated professionals - carpenters, electricians etc did the work on time, thus minimising any stress to us, the clients. A job well done!!  Many thanks

Repairs to flint and brickwork of my garden wall.

The work was done ontime, on budget and to a very high standard. I was kept informed as to what was going on and the work area was left clean and tidy on completion of the job. I am very satisfied with the work lee produced and would have absolutely no hesitation in asking he to do more work for me if required. Also I would be happy in recommending him to anyone else as a trustworthy builder.

Large extention of back of house and bedroom and fit a kitchen into the new extention.Convert old kitchen to a bedroom

I would recomend contrast construction to any one! I have used lee before to convert my garage to a bedroom and was very pleased with the end result so when we decided to have such a large job done it only made sense to contact him again.The work was carried out very efficently braving all weathers and completed in the time frame given. He also completed other jobs that arised as the project progress at short notice and we feel he went above and beyond what is expected of a normal builder to complete more than what was first asked to a superb specification.Thank you ever so much lee we now have a beautiful bunglow we are mored than pleased with the work and regularly receive compliments on the workmanship.

Two level rear extension &alterations to property.

The first part of engaging a builder is the estimate, Lee Hawkins of Contrast Construction was not the cheapest, but it was the most detailed and best put together. He phoned twice to apologise for the delays while he did more research into the area and priced out all the materials for this not small project, this showed in his estimate. The build started on time and because of the position of the site it was a nightmare to get materials and skips to the site, but this they handled with minimal fuss. When building started I met Lee on site every day and we talked through any problems so I was always up to date on the build. Lee always had time to talk and as a true professional that he is makes you fill at ease in his company. The trades he brings onto site were all working to Lee's exacting standards. I especially enjoyed watching and talking to the carpenter and the plumbers, their work was a joy to behold. Not once on this build did I have any doubts as to whether I had made the right decision. Everyone that came to work on this site did their jobs in the best professional way, a real nice bunch of guys. Lee has a real love of his building work and this shows in many ways, his chose of materials, not on price but on quality, insures that he dose not waste his time or the clients by going over the same ground twice.. This was not a small project with an estimate in excess of £70,000, he came in at 3% over budget, but when you add on the changes I made and the extras I wanted he in fact came in under the original cost. The build started on time it would have finished on time but for the snow we had in December, no ones fault there then.  I can truly say that in Lee I engaged the very best and I would recommend him and use him again without doubt. I have not only gained a builder but I have made a good friend.
