We have used KPM Contracts for several building projects and have found them to be highly professional, honest, reliable and trustworthy. They were punctual and polite and completed the work to a high standard.

One of the jobs was our home and another at a business premises.

Both jobs required extensive renovations. The attention to detail from Karl and his team was excellent.

Karl personally oversaw the jobs and whether it was an electrician, carpenter, plumber or builder, the workmanship was highly skilled and a quality finish.

At any point during the process, if we had any questions or concerns, Karl and his team were able to reassure us. We were also happy with the value for money considering the size of the jobs.

We would highly recommend them on every level.

We chose KPM for our renovation as we felt they fully understood our ambitions and gave a detailed quote which was within our budget. The renovation was carried out to a very high standard and indeed surpassed our expectations.

As is common in such projects there were extras and we took advice as to the extent and cost, we appreciated Karl’s clear communication keeping us informed at every stage of our home development.

We are over joyed with the results and love living in our newly refurbished home.

Having had builders for 4 months on site one would imagine this was more than enough, however we decided to extend our home the following year and had no hesitation in asking Karl back. KPM were involved from planning to completion all dealt with on time and within budget.

We were hugely impressed by the suggestions as the project progressed, all of which were carried out beyond our expectations. We thank Karl and his team for all their hard work at our home and have been happy to recommend KPM to several people in Aldeburgh. Karl and his hardworking, competent team will always be on our Christmas card list.

HOUSE REFURBISHMENT

KPM CONTRACTS LTD have fully refurbished a 100year old house for me. The work involved replastering, new double glazed sash windows, new plumbing and heating, new wiring and lighting plus damp proofing of basement and installation of fires and flues. Inside and outside decoration, new kitchen, new bathrooms and showers.

The standard of workmanship was very high and we are totally pleased with the final results. Throughout the renovation we found Karl Meyer ( MD) and his skilled craftsmen easy to deal with and the costs were fully transparent.

INDUSTRIAL OFFICES

KPM are currently employed by our company to convert a 40 year old warehouse into 6 high specification offices. The work involves new steel work, new brickwork new roof and cladding new windows, heating lighting and plumbing together with decoration.

GENERAL

I would recommend KPM for all building work large and small as they have a fully skilled workforce, they help with advice on materials and structure and produce excellent results.

Over the years Karl and his team at KPM Contracts have worked on a number of projects at our primary residential home in Suffolk.

Work has included a new 6 bay garage & double extensions totalling approximately 3000sq/ft of additional space.

From initial discussions Karl ensured the process was smooth and fully co-ordinated ending up in a fantastic result on every build.

Workmanship with all of Karl’s team has been exceptional with attention to detail at the forefront of the work ethic. With KPM you get exactly what you want and more – we highly recommend.

S&L, Playford, Suffolk

We employed Karl on recommendation, to construct a detached garage and we were so pleased with the result that we have used him twice since for larger home improvements. All have exceeded our expectations. Karl and his staff were always courteous and respectful as we stayed in the house whilst work was being carried out. Karl was prompt and helpful with any queries or concerns we had. I would highly recommend KPM Karl if anyone is thinking of having any works done to their home or garden.

Sue and Mick

I can’t recommend Karl and his team at KPM Contractors highly enough, they are a first class outfit with a professional approach that can effectively undertake all aspects of construction. Over the years they have developed two large two storey extensions for us, from concept and design through to a high quality finish.

They are reassuringly reliable and trustworthy but most importantly, their work and craftsmanship is on another level. The attention to detail is second to none and they are one of the few firms with the vision and broad skillset capability to foresee and implement bespoke solutions and improvements to enhance the outcome.

Delivered on time, on budget, and thoroughly satisfied.

RS Tuddenham Road

If your looking for a seasoned, well skilled team KPM met all criteria’s we needed. Karl Meyer was easy to talk to, helped us with difficult decisions and met deadlines. His site Forman and staff were punctual and very well mannered. All in all I would not hesitate to use KPM Construction again on another project in the future.

Karl and his team completed a small but tricky extension and an amazing kitchen transformation for us. From beginning to end they were respectful of our home, kept us informed, always at the end of a phone solving problems and concerns and completed the contract on time. We would highly recommend this professional company and will always use Karl for any future projects.

We appointed Karl and his team to undertake a complete makeover of the roof terrace at our house in Aldeburgh. We found him friendly and professional with a practical and visionary approach to what was a difficult and complicated job. This combined with architectural flair and good workmanship ensured that we were delighted with the final outcome. As such we would have no hesitation in recommending Karl to other prospective clients.

Renovating a 15th century farmhouse with a full roof replacement and conversion and single storey extension, our project was complicated due to a lot of potential unknowns that could be uncovered. From the beginning, Karl was open and honest about what we could achieve for our budget and remained flexible in his approach as we had to keep a close eye on the finances while keeping a healthy contingency for any major unforeseen repairs.

Karl was helpful when we were liaising with building control and structural engineers to ensure the adequate requirements were documented and met. Throughout the project, Karl has been approachable and great with communication both when things are going well and also when we have had obstacles to overcome. He is good at providing solutions and is pragmatic in his approach, never adding unnecessary stress to which there already is a lot of in a project this size.

Any snagging issues, Karl has been quick to resolve and has also been hands on in finding solutions when let down by other tradesmen. Karl has been instrumental to us in this project and I would be more than happy to recommend him for future projects.

Charlotte and Simon

KPM carried out our single storey kitchen extension in 2018. From start to finish the service we received was slick and professional, all trades involved in the project were polite, respectful, tidy, and couldn’t have been helpful. Karl and the team understood our vision, and based on their extensive experience made suggestions of possible amendments to the design features, and layouts in order to practically enhance the space we had.

In an effort to keep the project running to schedule Karl met with us regularly at times suited to us, to discuss and agree requirements, or help us make decisions for the next stage. The project ran smoothly and timely, this we are sure was due to the fantastic organisation of all trades involved.

Karl and the team have an eye of detail and clearly value the importance of delivering a high quality finish. We could not have been more thrilled with the end result , and are so happy that we used KPM to create our dream kitchen/living space

Nick and Lucy

It gives us great pleasure to highly recommend KPM Contracts. From the first day we sat down with Karl to the day our works were complete we knew we had made the right decision to have KPM Contracts build our family Kitchen / Dining area. There were times throughout our build that my Wife and I had changes to our requirements, of which Karl and him team listened, and executed without fuss, even offering alternative solutions.

One of the things that initially sold us on KPM Contracts was when Karl sat down with us and went over pricing. Not only was it competitive but very detailed. Karl did a great job managing the financial piece and kept us on budget. We were living on the site so could see the progress of the job in hand, & When arriving home from work the site was always very clean and if workers were still on site, they were always very polite and respectful. The Carpenter assigned to our works was absolutely AMAZING! He was there with us every step of the way and the quality of his work was exceptional.

Karls management of his team is next to none and if someone was promised to be on site, they absolutely were.

KPM Contracts was nothing but exceptional and exceeded our expectations. We love our new forever family Kitchen / Dining area and could not have chosen a better team. We continue to refer KPM Contracts to our friends and family that are considering building. Should we ever be in a position once again to have works completed I would not hesitate is reaching out to Karl and his amazing team.

We asked Karl and his teams to carry out some work for us, in stages and covering different areas of expertise ... not only did he accommodate an unsure timetable of ours, but he also worked with our amateur designs, plans and ideas ... despite which, quided us through every step of the way. So easy to talk to and clearly knowledgeable, we felt so confident in Karl and his teams, they are so organised, materials were ordered and arrived timely so that work planned for each day was indeed done, the teams of carpenters, ground workmen, electricians etc were all so skilled and so hard working, every time they arrived as promised, early and worked hard all day, and when they left they had tidied up so well you wouldn't even know they had been on site .... and at all times on site every single one of them was polite, considerate of our home and our neighbours, clearly very very skilled in their work, contributed or gave suggestions/ideas if it was relevant and gave such good advice and even explanations if asked (teaching us along the way!). Karl regularly checked in with his teams, and with us, we felt supported at every stage and we could see that his cohesive teams were so well supported by him and by eachother. As for the work that was done, we have both appreciated the amazing skills and superb standard of the work, and again it covers groundwork, carpentry, glazing, electrical work ... and would have been more had we been able to complete a project planned for converting our garage. All of the work and the materials used were of such a high standard, clearly all done to last and done with care and consideration for the look and end use. We had an amazing garden pergola constructed (from basic photos and ideas!) , a superb storage shed (bespoke sized, fitted out so well and so neatly) , some ground work done to create a drain from the garage (in preparation for the renovation) , patios laid etc. The ground work team that created the drain had to dig right across our property, but they re-laid stones, dug very carefully so as not to disturb a single plant!, and cleaned up so so well at the end that you just would not know the extent of the deep and long trench that they had had to create! In awe of their patience , skill and strength. This team also laid a large patio area , with edging ... they planned it all out, took care to design it well and again, protected everything else in the garden as they worked ... they didnt just lay slabs, they cared and created a fabulous patio. The carpenters worked with Karl to create a bespoke sized storage shed, lined out and with a good supply of electrics and light ... glazed doors and guttering ... all without even a drawing! They are so skilled and create amazing results. KPM , Karl and his whole teams are just such a pleasure to have on site, they were always here when promised and so the projects never slipped in time and were finished on time and as planned. They are all such a pleasure to talk to and discuss plans with, to allow projects to evolve, they have patience and so much consideration for working on your home and space, an absolute pleasure to have here! They are all clearly so skilled in their areas of expertise and have an amazing knowledge of products available and advise you so well so you can make informed choices, which we so gratefully appreciated. Nothing was ever too much trouble, nothing caused them any grievances if we asked for any change, nothing phased them ... not even the weather! Every member of each team worked so well with each other, they all clearly support each other and are happy to help others to ensure timely results ... wonderful to see. We look at things they have all done for us with such pride and appreciation ... for example, slabs are not just laid, they are laid with consideration for which ones are best at which edge, line up with other items, are planned out so that the whole end result is so pleasing to see and use. (I am a curtain maker and am very fussy about seams/lines/pattern matching so I really do appreciate the skill they show in their work! My work also means that I go into many homes and have seen a great many examples of poor workmanship, people left with sub standard results, clearly Karl/KPM builds lasting relationships with clients, leaving their clients knowing that they too would be happy to return another time, knowing that they have done a great job, and that only happens when the work was done properly and the client is happy. They have helped us to add to the look of our garden and home, they have enabled us to have better space, they have made things that have certainly added value to our home, and they have NOT left us with memories of a hard and difficult time, as is often the case when having building work undertaken !, but with memories of a reliable team of such professional people , easy to talk to, that we would very much recommended, often talk about, and would be so pleased to have back when we are ready for more work to be done, wouldn't ask anyone else!

Thank you Karl and all your teams!

Hi Karl,

Some background information, my wife (Elisabet) and I were looking to re-develop our home in Sevenoaks. As we spend a lot of time in Sweden, Elisabet is Swedish, we knew about the quality of timber framed houses and the benefits of high levels of insulation etc. so decided to explore the possibility of importing a house to the UK.

We subsequently contacted Mjobacks Villan, which is a Swedish constructor, and asked about the possibility of them supplying a "custom built" unit. It was complex as we were building on a slope and incorporating a basement which meant the supplied unit would have to be "split-level". Although a challenge, they took it on. Indeed their architects were brilliant and easy to deal with, explaining all we needed to know.

Then we realised that the company had an outlet in the UK that would carry out the construction, that made the project more realistic to us.

The deal was that we had the basement and groundwork completed to exacting standards and measures, then Svensk Homes (KPM Contracts Ltd) would arrive and erect the pre-built timber framed structure onto the plate. Naturally we were nervous, but everything went well. The frame of the house was constructed in 8 days, which included the windows and weatherproof roof. The fitters from Svensk homes stayed in Sevenoaks during the construction and were very professional. Any issues that arouse were sorted straight away. After taking over the house, we still had the opportunity to sort snags which were always tended to swiftly. A good bunch of workers and management. We would recommend this company and can be contacted for a reference if needed.

Regards, Patrick and Elisabet
