Dornford worked with us to transform our two-bedroom 1950s house on an awkward block into a beautiful four-bedroom home for our three little kids. What we thought was a ‘straightforward’ design proved much trickier. To say we opened a can of worms is an understatement.

We undertook the project during a hard time for the industry and for homeowners, and the number of unforeseen issues made it a tough project for us and their team. But hats off to the Dornford team for sticking it out alongside us.

Nico, Jake and Nick answered every call with enthusiasm despite high levels of stress and worry, they got back to us quickly on any questions, were totally on the ball with admin, and worked very hard to accommodate our wishes and resolve each hurdle fairly.

Their design teams were fantastic in helping us refine the internal plan which transformed the result. Their onsite teams were terrific, and their trades were excellent.

Thank you for staying the course and giving us a lovely home.

We cannot recommend Dornford highly enough!

Our extension looks spectacular and the build itself was relatively painless. We lived in the premises as the construction took place and throughout, the team kept the site clean and tidy, kept us informed of what they would be doing and when, and then met their prior commitments.

Excellent builders backed up by exceptional project managers, administrators and subcontractors.

We have used Dornford Building Group for a number of projects varying both in size and scope of works. Jake and his team have been a pleasure to deal with and the quality of their work cannot be faulted.

We have been consistently impressed by Jake’s professionalism, attention to detail and willingness to work closely with the client (us!) to deliver the desired outcomes. Jake never fails to bring additional ideas to the table, utilising his skills and experience to further enhance the original plan and direction. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dornford Building Group.

A DREAM RENOVATION.
Thank you to Dornford builders. Wow, they have achieved beyond my expectations.

I had a vision of what I wanted my kitchen, lounge and dining area to be. To create an open plan area to share with my family and friends.
A 1960 home with closed seperate rooms, meant taking down walls, designing and creating a new space.

That’s exactly what Dornford achieved for me, my once outdated, old fashioned home is no more. SPECTACULAR results, Dornford created a beautiful open plan modern space, delivering outstanding quality and exceptional customer service.

Thank you to the dynamic team at Dornford building group.

Our experience with Dornford has been first-class.

They have, from the outset promptly met timelines, shown a preparedness to negotiate on all issues and communicated readily, this at all levels from management through to employed and contract staff. All these people have proven personable and approachable.

Their pricing is clearly explained and appears fair. They are disciplined and secure with site management.

John and Chris, Clapham
