Report
Pat and the team has been brilliant. We are back in our home after a large scale upgrade and they have done a great job. Great communication throughout and an eye for detail.
Pat clearly takes pride in the final finish and wanted it to be right for us. It has taken a lot of the stress out of the process. We would have no hesitations in recommending ODonnell building Limited.

Report
ODonnell Building Services Ltd
Pat was recommended to me by a fellow professional for a tender list for a fairly large remodelling and two storey extension project in Blackhall Edinburgh. Quite a complicated build. He was awarded the project and promptly issued a programme and agreed the contract sum. The project was finished on time and on budget and was finished to a very high standard. Pat and his team were very easy and a pleasure to deal with and I cannot speak highly enough of him. I can highly recommend ODonnell Building Services Ltd and look forward to working again with him.
