Coldwells Build

The scope of work was an extensive remodelling of several rooms involving structural engineering support, reflooring and re-roofing, and a double garage rebuild, on a Grade B listed site. Coldwells provided a professional, personal and high quality service throughout, being accommodating to scope changes and highly solution minded. Ross’s solution minded approach and creativity were invaluable during challenges encountered and the end result was excellent. It was a pleasure to work with the Coldwells team and we would highly recommend them.

The project undertaken by Ross Booth & his team at Coldwells Building Company Ltd was an extremely difficult reconstruction, involving the removal of a major part of the centre of the house, including the existing defective glass roof. A much more difficult project than a new build.The method suggested & used by Ross enabled us to remain in occupation during the year long reconstruction period. A major plus as far as we were concerned.The project was beset by many problems, including delays, extreme weather at precisely the wrong time, the coronavirus four month lock down & subsequent related subcontractor & component delays.None of these problems were caused by the contractor, whose involvement was exemplary throughout.Several contractors were used in the project, who were controlled & utilised admirably by Ross. This is a skill not possessed by many.Ross was always there when needed, always responded to any request, never had to be chased, frequently suggested solutions & improvements which were invariably spot on.Working with him was a pleasure.For the avoidance of doubt, I am not a passive client who is easily pleased.When I had this house built in 1992, my relationship with the contractor was a nightmare & a battle, ever step of the way & only narrowly avoided litigation at the end.This project was the total opposite & the reason was that Coldwells, like all really good companies, reflected its owner's values.If I were to undertake another major property project, either through myself or my Company, United Supplies Ltd, there would be no tender process,I would pick up the phone to Ross Booth, in the knowledge that I could not do better.Ian W Strachan CAMarleden62A Rubislaw Den SouthAberdeenAB15 4AY

We were particularly impressed by Coldwells eye for detail, very friendly and professional approach. They would always follow through even with the smallest of details and really care that the finish is as high quality as possible often coming up with clever ways around issues that popped up. I would recommend with out hesitation.

Ross and his team completed a full rebuild of our 200year old cottage in the woods. The project was complex and comprehensive specially as we wanted to preserve many elements of the old cottage including its appearance to the front yet end up with a warm well insulated modern home. This was achieved on time and on budget. We really liked working with Ross and his team who handled a sensitive site well and reassured the neighbourhood as they worked. We are very happy with the work, the attention to detail and the customer service from Coldwells. We would be happy to speak in person with anyone who wanted to hear the customers perspective and look at the project, it has exceeded our expectations considerably.

Great professional service and top quality work carried out!! Very impressed and very happy! 100% recommend and will use again for sure!

Ross Booth and his team did a first class job converting my 200 year old granite farm building to a 21st century dwelling. He listened to my ideas and made them a reality. Many key features in the final result came from our informal conversations. I highly recommend Coldwells for any similar project or other major renovation project.

As Ross and Clare's neighbours we felt it only right that we employ them for our new build up the road. We have watched them bring a dilapidated cottage back to life for use in the 21st century so we already knew the quality of workmanship. Our kit went up rapidly and we are now ensconced in a warm wind and water tight house even on the windiest days.

Working together with Coldwells Build on the refurbishment of our workshop premises was a positive experience from the start. Good solid team effort on site to get the job moving, easy to communicate with, helpful with cost saving ideas and innovative when problems arose. Their friendly can do attitude and motivation to get the project to completion showed real commitment. Reliable and skilled, local tradesmen at their hardworking best.

Ours was a small project, knocking through to add a pod" to the back of the house that took us out about a metre from the original external wall x 3m. With the thickness of the wall we therefore added nearly 6m2 to our footprint. The idea was to get light into the back of the steading and
