Foundations Construction Professionals in Southampton, Hampshire

“Tess has a brilliant eye for design and a practical approach. She is also patient and excellent in translating my ideas into reality. Thoroughly recommend her for projects large or small.”

“Recommended to us, seen locally - we have had a barn with room above built in our garden. These guys were brilliant from start to finish and the building was only signed off once we were entirely satisfied. Would recommend and have already recommended to others.”

“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.”

“Professionalism, transparency and great experience. Collaborated with them for a long a time and can say they're great at what they do!”

“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 totally pleased with your company, your people, and your subcontractors on the craftsmanship of your product. We continue to be totally satisfied with the building that you built for me two years ago.”

“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.”

“Wow! Kelly has given us some much more than a home, rather we have a multitude of spaces where we can relax, escape, socialise, cook, entertain, sleep, and play. We love it and the kids adore it. It's way beyond anything we would have been capable of doing and everyone who sees it gets house-envy! And it was so stress-free, everything was on time, and somehow from our brief of a few picture ripped from a magazine, Kelly has created a kid-proof, beautiful, unique and high-end design on an 'IKEA-like' budget. We just hope she doesn't get too booked up so she still has time to come and do our London house as well!”
