Kitchens by Holloways

If you have experienced a home renovation in the past, you’ll know that the secret to success is in the preparation, the planning, the details, and the communication, 

Drawn properly, specified in full, and priced as one fixed number.

Placeholder copy about Ruben being a quantity surveyor and working with the company for 20+ years. A bit about where he trained, his experience and his expertise.

"My aim is to get the scope of work as accurate as possible so that our prices can be fixed. This is easier for new extensions than for renovations. We can’t always predict what is hidden by floors and walls, but we’ll try to find out.  This is what makes us different to most residential building companies who may rely on variations for their profit."

Ruben

Most quotes are a starting point for negotiation. Ours is the price, because by the time we give it, we already know exactly what we're building.

Swatches on a table

Touch what you're paying for

Real material samples, not a swatch on a screen

Timber, stone, hardware — in your hand, not just on a spec sheet — before a single number is fixed. We understand materials are evocative, so we make sure you see real samples of what you're getting. A small taste of what's to come.

Handover to Operations

The quantity surveyor and designer brief your project into the operations team

Our operations team are experts at making things happen. Visualisations become technical drawings, product suggestions become specifications, images become samples, there may be a drainage survey, a visit from a structural engineer, and perhaps a party wall surveyor.
