DJB undertook a building renovation project for me in 2019. I would liken DJB to Ryanair: Functional, Safe, Poor Experience, Disappointing Customer Service, and Delays.
If you wish to work with DJB here is my advice:
1. Evidence of recent work: Ask for photos of recent work they have done and ensure you also speak to the people whose photos they are showing you. There are no dates for the photos their website and when I last looked no recent testimonials, so who knows when those pictures were uploaded. Credit where credit is due, they have built something amazing for us, but surprisingly have

I was originally recommended by a friend to contact DJB Builder about removing an internal wall and installing a new kitchen dinner.
After meeting with the Project Manager, the new kitchen dinner quickly turned into an extension of the property, which then lead to an entire downstairs refurbishment.
DJB scheduled the project detailing the breakdown of costs into an easy understandable spreadsheet. This made it easy to see where every penny was being spent and where possible savings could be made.
The project was scheduled to be completed in 12-16 weeks and took a little over 14 weeks to complete

Employed DJB To build a 2nd storey extensions over an existing ground floor extension (summer 2020).
From the initial plans from the architect, DJB were very helpful in providing insight on the plans, and asking me questions on fixtures / fittings etc - before they were even commissioned for the job.
The reason I chose DJB in the end is because of the ambiguity in other builders quotes, most just gave me a price and not a detailed list of what was included and what wasn't. At least then I knew there shouldn't be any (financial) surprises.
I was quoted a maximum of 12 weeks to complete the work

We enlisted DJB to renovate the whole of the downstairs of our house including a new kitchen, downstairs cloakroom and bathroom upstairs. We were originally told the build would take 8-10 weeks in the end it was 22 weeks. The sub-contractors they used were incredibly unreliable we never knew who was turning up on site and when. Communication was terrible about delays and made the whole process more stressful than it needed to be. The standard of work was ok, but the attention to details was poor. I would not recommend using them.

DJB completed renovation works at our office. They were accommodating with regard to fitting in with our working hours to give least disruption possible. (Mainly weekend work). Work was completed to an excellent standard on time and priced to the quote provided in advance. I highly recommend Dave and his team
