"James and his team recently built our Garden Office using Cedar and Oak. Apart from being
extremely pleased with the end result, I can also highly recommend the professional
manner in which James managed the project. Always making sure things ran smoothly and
were done to his high standards. I would highly recommend James to any prospective
customer, he takes great pride in his work and will make sure that, above all, the customer
is happy throughout. I look forward to dealing with James again."
“James designed and managed the build of a number of oak buildings at our property including a pool house, garage and additional storage. The design is excellent and the process from planning to completion was seamless and delivered on time and within his original quotation.
The end result was fantastic and I have no hesitation in recommending James and his team for future projects.”
"Would highly recommend James Palmer and his team. From the start of the planning process, design creation and then the build, James was knowledgeable, informative and understanding of our vision and requests. Throughout the project, the team were reliable, hardworking and tidy!!
We are so pleased with our oak framed extension, which has created the additional space we required for the perfect family / entertaining room. And it has definitely created the wow factor to our property."
I have had the pleasure of knowing James Palmer for a number of years. He has been directly involved with me on a couple of projects. The first building being a complex oak framed triple bay garage and workshop with first floor family room and fully glazed sun lounge to the rear. This building is stunning and maximised practicality and function whilst creating a beautiful building right on the river Test. The second building was to extend and connect some existing old barns (being our head office). Again this was a complex link to bring two spaces together and not only creating a link, but a fully oak glazed ‘client’ office.
James proved very capable and solution driven; so much so; I have recommended him on many occasions.
