Testimonials

We've been working with Dorset Construction since 2015. In that time they've built four beautifully crafted, award-winning homes for us with more on the way.

We've found Dorset to be honest and reliable with an impeccable eye for detail. The projects that we have built with Dorset have been complex - difficult sites, with intricate detailing and often tight budgets. They've worked with us to problem solve, and get the things built every time. Very happy to recommend Adam and the team.

Ben Mitchell-Anyon | Director, Patchwork Architecture

We have nothing but great things to say about the Dorset Construction team. 

They completed a project to rebuild part of an ageing villa that had lots of challenges. They did it with professionalism and good communication at all stages. 

The team were a pleasure to have around and completed the work to the highest standard.

Catherine and Adrian Thompson | Clients

Adam establishes a great rapport, listens carefully to ideas, needs and budget constraints of the client, communicates well and delivers workmanship of the highest standard. 

With clients new to the building process, having a builder who can clearly articulate progress on construction and follow through with a quality, on-time build, is integral to a positive experience resulting in a great outcome. 

I continue to enjoy working with Dorset Construction and am happy to recommend them to my clients.

Michael Gellatly | Architectural Designer, M J Gellatly Ltd

Dorset Construction was a total pleasure to work with, and we genuinely feel lucky to have had them build our house.

The communication and administration was well managed and they delivered what they promised. It was a reasonably tricky build and the whole team managed the process with care, impressive craft, and good humour. 

They were not always brilliant singers, but the fact that they did sing so much on site speaks volumes about how they were managed.
