Builders in Cambourne, Cambridgeshire

“I have worked with Refresh Renovations on several building projects and found them to be very professional, reliable and friendly. Will definitely be working them again in the future and highly recommend them to anyone considering a renovation/extension.”

“Tom has been a pleasure to work with. From initial meeting right through planning he has listened and delivered more than we had hoped for. He listened to what we wanted, gave us options and talked us through them and then designed an extension that was better than we had hope for. Even in uncertain times he made sure we had regular updates, calls to discuss the project and just included us every step of the way. He even talked me through what pictures to submit to get us through planning. As someone who works with designers and builders daily it was great to work with such a dedicated professional...couldn't recommend more highly.”

“We have an Edwardian semi, which we wanted to modernise and extend in a much more contemporary style, improving the layout and flow to maximise space and light. Our emphasis was on accessibility and preparing for our later years while keeping such adaptations unobvious and not compromising any other design aspects or quality. We chose CDC because of the way in which Delphine’s proposal paid very close attention to, and responded to, the detail of our brief. She then came up with a series of alternative schemes; there was one clear winner. Moving the staircase unlocked all of the possibilities. We also hired CDC to project-manage the contract, which Delphine did very skilfully, navigating that sometimes tricky relationship between client and builder. She paid attention to detail and was scrupulously fair in all her arbitration decisions, signing off progress payments, holding the builder to time and budget commitments, and finding ways to solve the problems which inevitably arise. She was also a great help when it came down the massive number of choices we had to make, such as steering us towards good colour schemes, lighting, sanitary and fittings choices, and in helping us see past the sometimes daunting aspects of the building work, constantly and confidently reassuring us how great it would be! She was right – it is great! Eight months after moving back into our house, it still delights us every single day. CDC transformed a rather dark, boring Edwardian house with a very poor layout into something light and airy. In retrospect, there is very little we would change, and we would unhesitatingly recommend CDC for any similar project.”
