Lawrie Construction Ltd - Biggar

We received excellent service from John Lawrie. They are expert builders, and John himself is an excellent advisor: not only did his team do excellent work, but he proactively assessed the plans, identifying improvements and a potentially serious error by one of the suppliers. Highly recommended.

Jefcoate Anderson Architects ltd have worked with John and his team on two separate projects in Biggar. Their attention to detail and quality control is fantastic and the whole process has been a pleasure. Our clients are also delighted which is of course, the most important thing. We're already looking at our next projects with Lawrie Construction ltd.

Now that the Ts are crossed, the Is are dotted and we have “road tested” our new home Margaret and I would like to record our appreciation for the services you and your staff have provided to us.

Having been in the construction business for many years we are aware that experience, planning, attention to detail and good co-operation between all members of the project team are the essential ingredients for a successful project. You have demonstrated these qualities in full, as is clearly evidenced by our new home which we are absolutely delighted with.

Thanks to you and your team’s hard work, close co-operation with our architect, Camerons, and ourselves in managing the construction and the speedy resolution of any queries etc. the project was completed on time, to budget and to a high standard . We very much appreciated the open and positive approach adopted by you and your staff during all stages of the project which, importantly from an Employer’s perspective!, additionally led to it being a stress free experience for us.

We shall have no hesitation in recommending Lawrie Costruction Ltd in the future if called upon by you to do so.

We had the opportunity to build our new home on a plot in Biggar and we worked with John Lawrie Construction. We had never built a house before and right from the start we found John very professional and helpful. John guided us through the whole process and we could not thank or praise him enough.

John's team were excellent and their attention to detail was fantastic - in particular the stone work was perfect and admired by many people. The overall standard of work was excellent as was the quality and finish of the build. Throughout the process John kept us up to date and communication was excellent. John has a great team and they were always helpful when we were around during the build. Our house was completed ahead of scedule which was just fantastic.

We love our home and we've been living in it for just over 2 years. We can't recommend John Lawrie Construction enough.

We commissioned Lawrie Construction to build a single storey extension on our house to create a large kitchen/dining/living space. From the very start of the project, John and the team were absolutely first class. John identified the right architect and structural engineer to work with us on the project and he led that team expertly to create absolutely the right design for us. In the construction phase itself, John was as passionate about getting the details just right to the extent I doubt he'd have been any more so were it his own house being built - can't ask for more than that! All through the project I was delighted with the regular communications with John where we'd discuss progress, details and options as we went along. There were no hidden surprises on the cost front as you often see with builders and any changes from the original quote were only because I asked for a specification change (which again was dealt with so well). Overall I can't speak highly enough of John and the team at Lawrie Construction - the quality of the operation from start to finish speaks for itself. Why would you go anywhere else?! Thanks to everyone at Lawrie Construction for a simply excellent build!

We selected John and his company (from a number of competing contractors) to undertake a complex, detailed and total renovation of the very dilapidated nineteenth century house we had purchased. The works included the integration of existing outbuildings into an integral part of the main house.

The contract agreed covered not only extensive building works and internal alterations, but also complete renewal and installation of electrical, plumbing and heating systems, together with information technology requirements, new bathrooms, and new kitchen and utility rooms with underfloor heating systems in those areas.

Working in close cooperation with our architects to very demanding standards including the requirements of listed building consent, John's team carried out the required works to the standards required, demonstrating a great range of skills, expertise and commitment. Nothing was ever too much trouble to John and his team who reacted swiftly, competently and enthusiastically to the unexpected issues and problems which inevitably arise in the refurbishment of an old, dilapidated property.

The works were completed to a very high standard, on budget, within a remarkably short timescale and to our entire satisfaction. We now have a beautifully restored home which is greatly admired by all who visit. It is a great credit to Lawrie Construction: to John's professional and management skills; and to the motivation, expertise and commitment of his excellent team of highly skilled tradesmen.

We have no hesitation in recommending John and his team for the management and completion of the works required in any new development or project.

John is currently building our new house and we've found his work to be first rate. He's had a lot of issues to overcome due to a tight site and some extremely difficult neighbours, but he's dealt with everything in a professional and polite manner. We'd highly recommend him.

John and his team are the best builders we have worked with, having undertaken several extensions in the past.

From a competitive quote and very quickly grasping what we were trying to achieve, through to on site, all day every day, his team have delivered an outstanding job for us.

During the build phase, as with any renovation and extension, things can be less than straight forward. John and his team surmounted any issues without fuss and made constructive and very valuable suggestions for additions to our project which have hugely enhanced the result.

Nothing was ever a bother, communication was excellent and John and his team were a great crew to have around the house for 6 months. Cannot speak highly enough of them.
