As an architectural project manager, I’ve worked with many builders and contractors throughout my career. Kevin and his team are, by far, some of the best. They took our turn of the century Victorian ground floor flat in East London and completely transformed the space with a side return extension and beautiful new open plan design.

Construction projects always have their hurdles and unforeseen issues, especially with older buildings; it’s just the nature of projects like the one he has built for us. When faced with obstacles, Kevin overcame all of them. He managed the entire project from start to finish, all during a global pandemic!

He and his team are thorough, honest, competent, personable and professional – everything you could want in a builder. Kevin updated us and kept us apprised of everything happening on site every step of the way, even whilst we were in lock-down halfway across the country. He has a keen eye for design and a strong appreciation for detail, and it shows in the work that he does.

This is the first place that we have owned together and Kevin has truly made it a home for us. We could not be more delighted and we could not recommend him more. In fact, we have referred him to several people already

Shaun & Tom O’Grady, Customer

Kevin Carvell and his team are an honest, friendly professional building company. They converted an old conservatory into a brick built extension and Kevin project managed the whole build from start to finish, including planning permission.

Kevin used his experience to ensure the build was of the highest quality, and that it included all the essentials that we would need. He made suggestions to help ensure we were happy and even suggested some cost cutting options which was great.

Kevin and his team were a pleasure to have in our home and made us feel at ease with the whole process from the word go.
We are delighted with our new extension and it has made such a difference to our home life. We thoroughly recommend Kevin and his team and will use them for any future projects

We were really impressed by Kevin when he came around to provide an estimate, and once the work started we knew we had chosen the right builder. Kevin and the team were the upmost professionals and their attention to detail was really impressive.

The work took exactly the time Kevin estimated and the finished product is amazing. We are very happy with Kevin’s work and his team were a pleasure to have around our house during the build. We have no hesitation in recommending Kevin as his professionalism, polite nature and positive can-do approach is just what you need when going through what is often a stressful building project.

I cannot speak highly enough about Kev and the team. We’re not builders and neither are we project managers. We knew at the outset that we needed to find someone that could manage and deliver the project both on budget and on time. Prior to making our decision we visited a project that Kev and the team had recently completed – and it was clear immediately that the standard was very high. When we met Kev, he came across as extremely trustworthy, sincere, and reliable. Furthermore, the pricing represented value for money. Its is difficult to accurately capture all the positives – but they definitely include:

• We had one single point of contact for the entire job.
• Kev managed comms with the council (building regs) as well as managing his own team and all other third party contractors that were required throughout the project.
• Every contractor that Kev bought to our property was courteous and professional throughout – it really helped us not having to identify and co ordinate unknown contractors – Kev removed the guess work and our exposure to risk.
• Kev helped us to be practical and creative in our thinking – whether it was the power points in the garden, the under floor heating in the kitchen, or the integrated blinds in the bi-fold doors – the guidance was always open and sincere.
• >We were always kept up to date on progress and “next steps” – and Kev managed our expectations throughout.

In summary, we’re delighted with the work and we’re delighted that we selected K Carvell Builders to manage this project on our behalf. Without a doubt we’ve had great value for money”
