They put it right
We were motivated to choose LM due to their very low offer and apparent understanding of the project. They maintained regular communication over several months until we were ready to commence work.
However, from the outset, delays were frequent and signs of disorganisation became evident. Eventually, a garage was constructed but upon completion we were shocked to discover numerous issues.
The workmanship was of poor standard and some truly shocking.
Cladding was often not joined onto stud joints, with long nails protruding. Worst, large gaps were left where cladding planks were supposed to join smoothly and nails were smashing the cladding. It is difficult to comprehend how such poor workmanship could be overlooked.
Braces in the stud work infill were omitted and likewise the soffits. They claimed a shortage of wood but it is more likely that the inexperienced crew was unable to fit the soffits.
The garage builders evidently had very little experience of constructing garages. This raises questions about the accuracy of their reviews and whether the impressive photographs on their website are stock images.
UPDATE: after some back and forth - and preposterous claims about "natural shrinkage of cladding" - they willingly undertook the task of correcting poor workmanship, this time by a skilled carpenter. Most of the ill-fitted cladding on all sides was removed and new was fitted; this time correctly. (which raises the question: why didn't they use qualified people to do the work in the first place?)
Finally, we have a decent looking garage, after much effort, hassle and expense.
