Kingsmarque Construction and Maintenance ltd

In July 2022, we gave our first-floor extension project to James and Dave after seeing positive reviews on their site. They messed up horrendously and when their mistake was discovered, simply ran away. They built the extension too long. This was spotted by chance by the building inspector. By this time, the whole extension was in place with only the internal works left to be done. We had also paid them the full cost of this work including payments for the materials. We applied for retrospective planning application at our own cost, but it was rejected and we were served an enforcement notice by the council. We repeatedly asked James and Dave to come back to rectify their mistake and finish the project. Initially, after many messages, they responded by saying that they will be coming back soon. However, this never happened. After Christmas 2022, they simply stopped responding. We raised a dispute via the Federation of Master Builders (FMB), of which James and Daves company, Kingsmarque Construction, were members. They did not engage with the process and in the end were expelled from FMB. We have now employed another builder to rectify their mistake and finish the project. However, we are discovering that they made fundamental errors with the structural work which now needs to be rectified at a huge cost to us. The impact this had on our mental health has been devastating. With the benefit of hindsight, looking at the way they work, and their general attitude, they never took our project seriously. They took many days off without any prior notice as they were working on several sites at once. Please avoid them as they will ruin your life. Services: Home building, General repairs

James and Dave are top class professionals who have delivered works that have exceeded our expectations. We have the home of our dreams thanks to James and Dave (see photos). James and Dave parachuted onto our project as we had to replace our original builders who were abysmal. Without James and Dave we may never have completed let alone achieve the finish that we wanted. To sum up, great guys who do a great job. Definitely worth the wait to get James and Dave onboard your project.

James & David have been brilliant for my project. We bought a bungalow and had significant problem with the original builders. James & David took the build over and complete the shell within the timeframe stated. They kept me updated with photos every step of the way and would always be in touch with anything they thought I needed to know. The rate these guys work is insane and the quality amazing. Bank holidays, storms or raining they were at the house. So good have they been for the exterior shell I have asked them to complete the full interior works as well.
