Enduring Excellence
A commitment to a quality service and a quality build is behind the continued success of building company Woodmans
Woodmans is a property renovation specialist focusing on premier residential refurbishments within Sussex. They have extensively constructed and refurbished many prestigious houses in the area, establishing their company as a brand leader within the industry.
Their success is based on the close working relationships they forge with clients and the enviable superior finish that is consistent in all of their projects, proven by their superb word of mouth reputation.
They are unique from other building contractors as they are a company of permanently employed skilled tradesman. This is an important factor. When a company has been entrusted with a client’s build Woodmans believe that it is vital that everyone on that project works together seamlessly. “It is essential to have this control and to maintain clear lines of communication. This is possible with our team, who all work to one agenda: that of the clients.” says Brent Kearney, managing director of Woodmans.
Woodmans is a Sussex based business and, as such, they believe in utilising the wealth of expertise and bespoke manufacturing available within the area – allowing them to achieve fantastic results.
“We have been fortunate to produce many unique builds, working on projects from listed buildings to sleek and modern extensions. One of the most memorable projects would be the two turret conversions within the French Apartments building on Brighton’s Kemp Town seafront. Two individual clients with very different builds. One, working with
Oliver Heath Designs, the other, an inspirational and inspired business lady. Both of these projects resulted in beautiful and fantastic homes.”
One of the projects they are working on at present is a unique Listed building in the centre of Brighton. The property is being renovated into a sophisticated contemporary house. This development highlights Woodmans’ extensive skill range, replicating in fine detail original features that require restoration, working with high quality materials and constructing them so that they fit seamlessly within the beautiful original architecture.
“The future is looking bright for Woodmans. We have been expanding and further establishing our brand and position as market leaders. We love what what we do and have a great team; we are very lucky to be working in the top end sector.”
Over the last 10 years Latest Homes has watched with interest the development of this premier building company and admired their adherence to the highest possible standards. What has always stood out is that this is a complete team and in talking to their clients we have heard repeatedly how professional they are. Clients love the fact that everyone involved is a fully employed member of the Woodmans team and that there is a direct line of control from start to finish within the one firm.
Woodmans never claim to be the cheapest company in the business but at the same they are not necessarily the most expensive. At the end of the day Woodman’s clients are happy to pay for a
great service and this has been borne out by every single customer of theirs that we have met. The quality of their work is evident too, that insistence on the very highest standards; from the beginning to the end and beyond, Woodmans will maintain contact with their clients to ensure that all is well and that they are happy.
The same care and attention is also applied to the team. From smart branded uniforms and transport, each member is a valued and respected professional part of the company as a whole. Looking after the staff as well as they look after the client ensures there is always a happy team at any project site.
Woodmans are also committed to never over- extending their workload. With an increasing number of clients seeking to use them there can be a waiting list, but that wait is worthwhile if the highest level of service is what you require. They are also honest about what is and is not possible. They will always seek to find a way to fulfil a clients wishes, but if those wishes are impractical or simply impossible, they will be the first to tell you so, thus avoiding later disappointment.
The proof of all this is in the growing number of happy customers who have gone on to recommend Woodmans to friends and family, it’s in the quality of the work they do and it’s also in the fact that, despite tough economic times, Woodmans are here and stronger than ever.
