Tim prides himself on being hands-on - from project management to getting his hands dirty with a shovel! Tim tells us more about his approach. “Initially, I will meet the client and discuss the project and study any plans from their architect. I look at the details of what is involved in the build and put together a clear estimate for the client with a full breakdown on the project stages, each stage being carefully explained and costed according to the specification provided. “I always personally manage the project, liase regularly with the client and work closely with the craftsmen from start to finish. “Each build is a showpiece of my company and close management of the site is key in keeping it both safe and tidy.” “Materials are chosen according to the plans or to match the existing building. I use local, highly trained bricklayers who will work to the plans and the instructions I give them. “Joinery and carpentry for the roofing, windows, kitchens, bathrooms and internal features are all designed and built to the highest specification. Every aspect from selection of materials to the fitting and finishing will be dealt with in a professional and caring manner. In any design the roofing makes the look of a building and I will always ensure materials, techniques and craftsmanship are all of the highest standards. “Finishing the build to the customer’s total satisfaction is my aim and excellence is my cornerstone.” To date, Tim has completed many projects and has many currently ongoing. These include: • New build Georgian farmhouse including hand built wooden staircases and galleries, and fitting all kitchens and bathrooms. • Conversion of a two bedroom bungalow into a four bedroom, two storey house. • Conversion of open loft space above a garage and fitting of a mezzanine floor into an adjoining utility room to create a bedroom, bathroom and office. • New build four bedroom house and garage on a brownfield plot • Creation of an extra bedroom in an end of terrace house via a roof extension K Company: Tim Bingham Building Contractors Ltd Address: The Hawthorns, Amesbury Road, Cholderton, Wilts SP4 0ER Telephone: 01980 629754 Mobile: 07901 756090 Email: [email protected] CE160122 Construction / Technology
