“We liaised closely throughout the construction of the roof terrace extension to ensure that there was minimal impact on the neighbours and the development. They acted extremely professionally throughout the process and the finished roof terrace is a stunning addition to the penthouse apartment.”

“Great credit should go to Peter and Iain, for their organisation, constant communication and high level of planning that they brought to this project. I am very impressed such significant works were achieved with minimal impact on (our) day to day business operations and on time.”

“Iain and Pete regularly made the impossible seem possible. They kept the build on track and were fundamental in ensuring costs stayed within budget. Their approachability and commitment coupled with the professional way in which they undertook the construction works took a huge amount of the anxiety out of the build. Getting Avenue North to undertake the build was one of the best decisions we made”.
