Delivered on time and we got the specification we asked for. Professional and responsive to our needs. Builders on site were always professional, neat on the job and enjoyed what they did.

We undertook a big project demolition of an old extension, double floor extension, garage conversion, internal remodelling and full refurbishment including re-plaster, re-wire and re-plumb. We were complete novices so spoke to 6+ different building firms to get quotes, and Proficiency were the most impressive from the start. Their dedicated contract manager Phil worked with us in detail which is what we wanted, always giving quick responses and never pushing us to just get started and worry about the details later, which is what we experienced with some other firms.

We worked with Proficiency for a full conversion of our apartment, including glass extension, garden remodelling, reorienting of floorplan to create two bedrooms, full refurbishment and redecoration. Proficiency also supported with elements of design and re-drawing given we were unhappy with the services of our architect. In particular, I would call out their transparency on cost throughout, providing regular updates and itemisations to ensure there were no surprises at the end of the job. I would not hesitate to recommend this company - at all times they were responsive, professional and went

Besi , Toby and and the team were so helpful. I wish I had started my job with their architect who helped me sort out the mess that my original architect had left me in. And so it continued, they were always helpful, offering up creative solutions, going above and beyond and provided such a high quality of work. And fast too! Just amazing. I will definitely use them again for anything I need doing and can't recommend them enough.
