Testimonials

 

"From initial architect input both hindsite and I developed the refurbishment of The Old Rectory, bringing the benefits of modern living whilst increasing the living space available and sympathetically retaining the character of the building. I found them to be a most professional contractor with works carried out in a timely, safe and efficient manner. The communication was second to none and we are very pleased with the outcome of the entire project. It is my intention to engage hindsite in further development works at Babcary. Hindsite would always be my contractor of choice."

"Last summer hindsite completed our barn conversion, joining the barn to the old farmhouse with an oak and glass link. Hindsite were involved during the planning stage with us and our architect. This paid off as the job progressed over seven months. The work was priced in a way that made it easy to keep track of additions and ommissions as the job went along. We always knew where we were financially. We had monthly meetings with our architect and the hindsite team planning and snagging as we went along. The site management was tidy and very consistent over the job. The end result is marvellous and the quality of work very good. Hindsite managed the various contractors well, drawing them in as needed. Throughout the job, communication both on site and with hindsite office was excellent. This has continued after completion and through the (hardly any) snagging stage. Perhaps best of all for a stressful project we never had a cross word or misunderstanding from start to finish. It felt like an enjoyable experience - nearly as nice as living with the finished product. This summer we asked hindsite to put the finishing touches to the job and they did the hard landscaping work to an excellent standard."

"I would like to thank you and your company for the excellent work that we have received and hopefully will receive in the near future. We believe this is down to the excellent work of Trevor, his energy and management is beyond any I have witnessed before. He is always so professional in any task he undertakes and always with a smile. One of his main attributes is how thoughtful he is when things may not be going to plan, always ensuring what ever time of the day, that you are fully up to speed on the position and happy. This during my life as a Regional Bank Manager for some 30 years is often all people need is a little reassurance that the job will get done. There is no doubt that Trevor is a true ambassador for hindsite which is why we look no further when a job needs carrying out and always sing your company's praises. Thank you and thank you Trevor. A VERY happy customer!"

"From start to finish this was an excellent job, our initial discussions with hindsite were clear and concise, their estimated cost for the project was compatible to other quotes we obtained. We had a vision of what we wanted and hindsite made it happen, by keeping us in touch every step of the way with emailed notes of cost, alterations and progress reports, our job ran to a tight schedule, efficiently monitored by the site foreman. With the use of high quality materials and a keen eye for detail, the building grew like a phoenix from the shell of an old barn into beautiful wood and glass offices filled with light and space, adding value to our business and our home. Like all building projects there has been the odd thing that we have had to ask hindsite to attend to, and like the original project the aftercare has been excellent, customer care is evidently high on the hindsite agenda."
Ashton Farm barn conversion to offices - K Southwell
"We have had four projects carried out by hindsite over the last five years. The largest was a major refurbishment of a London Georgian townhouse which took six months and there have been three seperate projects on our Devon farmhouse. We really liked the way hindsite approached the projects. There was always a detailed estimate which they ere very happy to have challenged and to change, if necessary; and the administration of projects - client sign off to changes, staged payments etc - were efficient and transparent. Once work began, hindsite had a very responsible asttitude towards health and safety and we always knew who was in charge of the project. Hindsite were always happy to have meetings to discuss aspects of the projects, kept to their timetables and informed us of any deviations. The workmanship has been very good in all four projects and they were willing to came back to rectify any faults within a specified timeframe. We would have no hesitation in recommending hindsite."
Mr & Mrs Lane
"Hindsite provided a thoroughly professional service throughout our new build giving great attention to detail including some of the tidiest wiring I've seen. The site manager was experienced, capable and even learnt some Estonian to communicate with our foreign contractors! Information and invoices were clearly explained, accurate and timely. Site was safe, they worked alongside our horses and were considerate and polite to our staff. I would happily recommend hindsite and would use the again."
S Avery, The Mare & Foal Sanctuary
"The team at hindsite performed superbly. Their professionalism and attention to detail inspired immense confidence. The quality of their workmanship in general and finishes in particular was excellent. On time and within budget. Need we say more?"
Mr & Mrs Kavanagh
"I am writing to formally thank you for the outstanding works carried out by hindsite at the Sidmouth Nursing Home. The whole (normally painful) process from beginning to end was done professionally and efficiently with good communication throughout. The site was clean and safe and under the direction of Oscar (Site Manager) special care was taken to the needs of our sick, elderly residents I am planning to continue with the refurbishment of the Sidmouth Nursing Home and based upon my last experience hindsite will be my first choice. Keep up the good work."
S Bevan, Managing Director, Anchorstone Services Ltd
"I would like to pass on my personal thanks to you and your staff. In such an ambitious project in terms of the amount of work involved and the timescale, there was always the potential for exasperation, friction and frustration to take over (especially when everyone else seems to be on holiday or working where you need to be!). It is a credit to all of you so closely involved, that this hasn't happened and that we have completed virtually on time and to such a good standard."
S Morris, Vice Principal, East Devon College
"Our pool complex had initial design input and was then developed by hindsite and myself before I returned to Shanghai. The project was started 1 week before our departure and completed with the family and myself out of the country, communication was by email with the exchange of many photos and details. It was a lovely experience for the family to return home and find a pool, pool structure and landscaping complete. How many contractors would achieve this?"
R Tincknell
"This is to confirm that we are very pleased with the job that hindsite did for us. Their professional approach, from the start until completion, ensured that the project was finished on time, to budget and we're delighted with the finished article. What was a slightly chaotic old farmhouse has been updated and made into a great family home, without compromising any of the original charm."
E Burnand
"We were pleased with the entire approach of the contract from the technical design input, site team and management of the various trades which ensured that the works were completed within the timescales allowed. The whole team were very courteous, respectful and kept us informed throughout the work. The quality of the work was of a very high standard as the new elements have blended in with the old thatch listed building. We would have no reservation in recommending hindsite."
Mr & Mrs Roberts
"Just for the record, we just wanted to thank you for doing such a great job on our project. The end product is fantastic and getting there was as easy and painless as it ever could be. We would happily recommend hindsite to anyone.."
Mr & Mrs Virgo
"May I say how appreciative we are of you and your company in this project. The building trade does not normally enjoy the best of reputations, but I have no hesitation in recommending hindsite to our friends. Indeed I have already done so on three occasions. It's a pleasure to know you and your team and I wish you continued success"
