About the website

About the Site and how to get the best use out of it.

Our aims

We have tried to make your visit to our website a pleasurable one and hopefully sometimes you will appreciate our sense of humour. After all, research and trying to find things out is supposed to be fun.

The site has been designed to show our expertise as a company and how we can offer you a professional range of services at the right price. We have gone to a lot of effort to be able to show you designs for your property that you can really understand right from the initial design stage and before it is even built. So check out the services section of the website and see for yourself what makes us different.

We have formed a professional panel of experts from the industry and have created useful informative questions and we try to provide the answers to help “You” the public understand more about our industry and hopefully this will prevent “You” from making costly mistakes whether you use our services or not.

We are trying to make information available about issues like Health and Safety within the industry and how this should be recognised and the dangers that can lie ahead if you intend to have major improvements carried out. If we can prevent one accident by making this information available than we feel we will have contributed to the industry and assisted the general public.

How to get the best out of the website

We have added an audio commentary to our site to try and help you get a feel straight away for the section you enter in the site. Hopefully you will enjoy this information once you enter an area but when you  go back it will be turned off automatically so it does not annoy you. If you want to hear it again press the play button. Alternatively turn it off at the start when you first join the site and you will never know it was there.

We are continuously adding to the site and adding more and more information videos on You Tube. The initial ones show we are not actors but real people doing a real job. The voice over and adverts in our media section is a little different. We are also adding more and more information to the site daily; we have a lot of knowledge to share.

The home page offers a quick introduction and video to let you get a feel of the company and what we do.

About Us – This is simply about us and our aims and objectives.

Services – Go to the services section and find out what service options we offer and how we may be of help. Think of us like a take away menu, you only pay for the services you use. Remember this is our business and we want your business.

Responsibilities – this is an interesting area of the website which will get you thinking and that’s what it is supposed to do. Look at some of the links in the Health and Safety section as these should be of interest.

Budget Planner – We created this section to again get you thinking and make you aware that it’s not just the builder’s price that you will need to fund, there are a lot of other items to add into your initial budget. As we say “Plan it right – Fund it right – Get it right”. To use our budget calculator we ask you to log onto the site and become a community member. This simply means you get access to all the site and we can if you want share information with you in the future.

And what we would like you to do for us.

If you enjoy the site but could not find what you wanted let us know by contacting us, simply log on and send us information on what you were looking for. We have spent two years creating the site and its content and we want to continue to grow the site by interacting with you the public.

If you enjoy the site, again log on and rate the site from 1 to 10 so we know we are getting it right for you. Also you may wish to add comments about the site, hopefully positive ones.

If you enjoy the site and find it of interest then please let your family, friends, work colleagues and anyone you know about us. Use the phone, Twitter, Blog, Facebook or any other method you can think of.  We invested two years to try and get the site right and of interest to the public. So use it, enjoy it and let people know about us and what we are trying to do.

If you are a professional from our industry, maybe you are retired and would possibly like to help with our free advice service. We want to hear from you now. Many hands make light work and all that. Please contact us.

And Finally

Enjoy the website – we built it so people like you could benefit from it. Have Fun. Hopefully with your support and recommendations we can create more jobs and support apprenticeships within our industry.
