Custom Build Home Professionals in Alton, Hampshire

“We hired Nick and Paul at Raylian to lead a tricky 550 m2 office conversion into residential space in a prime location central Chiswick. Along with the practice personal creative skills I was very impressed by their technical know how. The teams knowledge of building regulations, local authority planning requirements and technical building skills saved me a substantial amount in architects fees and it was comforting to experience their confidence when addressing the builders and trades and the respect they attracted. The creative design planning stage and specification for finishes and furnishings was professional and stress free. It was great to have a designer sketch their ideas while explaining their thoughts. Discussing ideas in 3D is a real advantage. Given the licence to express themselves they came up with some really great ideas. Project management was equally important, especially with all the H&S requirements attached to the industry these days. I also felt once the budget was approved they made a good effort to protect it right through to completion. Raylian are a one stop shop for any size of residential project and I am happy to give them a 5 star review. AW. Chiswick.”

“We are glad that we chose BHI to construct our new extension, Sean and his team were professional, courteous and trustworthy. We had no reservations about moving out of the house and leaving our home and contents in Seans capable hands during construction. All aspects of their work was carried out to a high standard and Sean was always keen to see that the client was satisfied. We would highly recommend them and happily use them again.”

“Bequest Projects completed a full renovation and large extension at the rear of our property. I can not fault them from the design process to completion, Nick and the whole team were great at communicating and making sure everything ran smoothly. They were always on time and site always left tidy at the end of each day. I am really happy with the high end finish and would highly recommend.”

“Very happy with our 2 story extension which included an en-suite bathroom. The guys were very professional from start to finish. I feel the project was managed to a very high standard and we were kept notified all the way from start to finish. Also it was finished on time The quality of work is very high from the building work, to fittings, to painting and decorating. I would highly recommend.”

“After living in Sandhurst for many years and extending our old property, it was always my dream to have the house Paul created for us. We purchased an old run down property in a perfect location but needed someone that could transform it into our dream home. We had heard how good Paul was and his attention to detail, so when he came round to listen to what we wanted, it was clear he was the only person that could make our dream come true. His knowledge and experience quickly created plans that were beyond our dreams and he came up with ideas that we would never of thought of. His ability to visualise what was possible from the run down property was mind blowing and the way he developed the plans allowed us to go on an exciting journey to getting our dream home. Once plans were created, and permissions were granted by the council, Paul then magically made the plans come real, but beyond our expectations. Words cannot describe the attention to detail and if things weren't done to his standard then he would redo it until it was perfect. The result is a home beyond our wildest dreams and a home that our family loves living in everyday. He's created the wow factor that everyone who visits comments on. I suspect Paul is in demand but if you are lucky to get him then I highly recommend you embrace what Paul can provide for you.”

“Professional, organised, efficient, trustworthy (we just gave them a key and let them get on with it) and genuinely pleasant, helpful people to have do major work for you. They listen to you, work out solutions to turn your dream into reality (no matter how problematic) and provide excellent value for money. First-rate project management - getting plumbers, electricians, carpenters, painters, tilers and plasterers lined up to come in on time one after the other, they turned our worn-out, antiquated and quirky bathroom into something fit for a luxury hotel, more or less within the relatively short timescale quoted.”

“Chris Tiplady, is the man with whom I discussed the replacement and enlargement of the old conservatory with a new one customised to our specific requirements. He delivered the product on time, on budget and exactly to specifications. He was very much hands on the job and always ready and willing to resolve possible problems with grace, confidence and professionalism. He takes pride on what he does and delivers with expertise. G. Di Giulio”

“Right from the start I knew things were going to be highly professional. Will got back to me within 3 or 4 days with a quote on a sizeable project whereas a previous candidate had taken over two weeks. He was able to start within an acceptable time frame so off we went. Anyone who has dealt with builders will know all about sharp intakes of breath and phrases like " Well I don't know about that, It's going to be expensive". Will's greatest strength, apart from his enormous charm, is his ability so see and understand what the client wants and do his best to fulfil those wishes. Along the way I had to change a number of things, some of them quite major like taking out a chimney breast but none of this was a problem. I should add that he came up with many really good ideas himself which was an invaluable contribution to the wonderful end result. His initial estimate was not the cheapest of the three that I had but as they say " you get what you pay for" and I would say without any hesitation that I made the right decision. Another of Will's great assets is that he is always accessible and if he happened to be stuck up a ladder he would call me back. So many other builders never answer their phone or take days to get back to you. Fantastic job, a wonderful polite team who were very tidy and professional. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.”
