ACR Build Review
We are extremely pleased with the outcome of our single storey rear extension. The project went very smoothly despite the recent difficult circumstances.
Although not the cheapest quote, ACR Build bought ideas to the table that others did not, whilst listening carefully to what we were looking to achieve. They gave us alternative design and layout concepts which were presented in a way that gave us options at relevant decision points and made us feel comfortable and in control of the project, which ultimately gave us the confidence to deliberately extend the scope and achieve a significantly improved end result.
Our initial concern that various aspects of the project were being outsourced proved completely unfounded, partially due to the quality of the overall Project Management by Andy Ryder (transparent cost control and strong communications), but also because of the performance of each of the different tradesmen working on the project. Without exception, each did an excellent job, were highly skilled and conducted themselves at all times in a professional and appropriate way.
The performance of ACR Build on this project has led us to re-evaluate what a building project should be like and we have absolutely no hesitation in recommending ACR Build as a top performer in the local building industry.

We used ACR build for a kitchen and bathroom renovation involving some structural work, and really happy with the results which are of high quality. Andy and his team were professional, knowledgeable, open, responsive and gave helpful advice and opinions. We encountered a number of unexpected issues during the build and Andy always offered reasonable solutions and made sure we were happy with the end result.

Very professsional, flexible and personable. Renovated and updated an 1890's house to create a modern, airy and spacious interior. Sound advice on issues and managed project while we were out of the country for several weeks.

I had Andy and his team complete a detached garage for me at my home watford. We had several contractors look at the project and found Andys ideas to be the most considerate of the surrounding landscape and general feel of the site. He constructed a 30m2 detached garage, high levels of insulation and quality brickwork to match existing. The project was on time throughout and additional jobs were added by us which Andy happily handled for us. ( we paid additionally for these)
From architect drawings through to materials selection and project completion we were kept informed or any changes and complications that may arise.
Overall me and my wife are very pleased with the final result and would happily use Andy again in future. One of those builders you wish you had met years ago!
Thankyou Andy

What an incredible build team! Andy and his team are talented, dedicated, trustworthy and we love the family home they’ve created for us
Our house was an extensive renovation, with most of the walls being moved, new roof, windows, stairs, flooring, kitchen, bathrooms, patio, drive etc
Andy’s quote was a fair price for the work, and he gave options where he thought we could reduce cost and/or create a better design. He has a great attention to detail, and kept us informed and engaged throughout
We’d highly recommend Andy and his team for any build

We are delighted with our new kitchen that Andy and his team reconfigured. The process of plumbing, electrics, plastering, flooring and fitting was slick, efficient and of an exceptional quality. Their hard work and professionalism clearly shows with the final product being awesome!!
Andy was always on hand and communicated daily throughout the whole job with great ideas to achieve the kitchen of our dreams.
We would recommend Andy and his team 100% and will be having him back for future projects.
Thanks again.

Andy and the team at ACR Build have carried out several major projects for me over the past 10 years - all to an exceptionally high standard, with impeccable attention to detail. The most recent project involved entirely renovating my house, including reconfiguring and installing a new bathroom. Andy is super at coming up with solutions for even the most complex aspects of a project, and the results are impressive! I would only ever work with ACR and genuinely cannot recommend Andy’s work highly enough.

This is the second time we have used Andy.
The first time was 3 years ago to do an knock through with a new kitchen and sliding doors to the rear of the house. More recently we needed a wall water proofing, utility room reconfigured and alterations to our hall and porch.
Andy has always been very professional and provides a high standard of work.
He keeps you informed and update on the project at all times. One of the things that I have most liked about Andy is that he gives his honest opinion and will try his hardest to think of alternative ways to make things happen.
I would highly recommended using Andy and the people that work with him.

Very happy with the extension Andy & his team constructed at our house. All the work has been carried out by specialists to an exceptional standard. Very good communication from Andy throughout the build. Andy was flexible to our requirements, as we chose the details during the job. We would very much look forward to working with Andy again for any projects carried out on our house in the future.

I had the whole house redone from top to bottom: loft access created and made accessible, new insulation, new windows, replastering, repainting, rewriting, new kitchen, new bathroom and new flooring and carpets. What a fabulous experience from start to finish. Andy, was always easy to get hold of and direct and easy to deal with. No problem was too small for his wholehearted attention. He came up with ideas and was helpful throughout. He is clearly very experienced and was able to give me options and suggestions which I found very helpful. His team were also unfailingly polite and a very cheerful bunch. At the end he cleared up the final few items very promptly and has also been helpful regarding the next steps such as bookshelves and the garden. I highly recommend Andy and the ACR team.

Re ACR Builders: We are so pleased with our new extension, and the building work was to a very high standard. Andy is very conscientious and has a great team around him who were always cheerful, considerate and competent and that made such a difference. I also liked the fact that we were not left builder less for large amounts of time when there was work to be done. Thanks Andy

Andy was extremely reliable, professional and a good communicator. We were able to gut our kitchen and rebuild it in record time. He also rewired a significant portion of our electrics and fixed our heating issues. Last but not least, his budget was realistic. We'd highly recommend him.
