When we embarked on our project, we worked closely with English Heritage to maintain the essence and integrity of the Mill House, whilst making significant changes to add both internal and external space, and improve the flow of the house. Not an easy project, given the terrible access, lack of foundations and significant potential water issues (the Glaven runs under the house!) What impressed us most about James and his team at Pro-Build, was their diligence and unstinting attention to detail. Often faced with quite significant unforeseen challenges, Pro-Build never took the soft option, instead always insisting the high standard be maintained. The quality of the work and finish was first-class, and the follow-up has been thorough and professional. Whilst on-site, the team was polite, courteous and helpful.
We cannot recommend Norfolk Pro Build highly enough. Their work is consistently of a very high quality, with ongoing dialogue with us throughout and after the project. Nothing was too much trouble, and they always tried to meet our vision whilst keeping costs under control. After our first project, they were automatically our choice for our next renovation !
We have so much appreciated the dedication of yourself and the team to the project at Choseley. The understanding of our requirements , and the attention to detail.
“I have spent 40 years at the cutting edge of the property business and done homes in three countries. I am often asked to recommend a builder. I have never been prepared to do so. I have however no hesitation in recommending James and Ali Pitcher and their staff at Norfolk Pro Build. I have trusted them and have never regretted doing so. Their diligence and pride in the work they do is something that made an impossible situation in which I found myself into an end product in which all take immense pride. If you wish to discuss their firm with me you can reach me via anyone in their Company. With all good wishes. ”
“In 2016 Norfolk Professional Builders completed a significant capital project at Cinema City (on behalf of the charity Cinema City Ltd) to refurbish its previous film education facilities into a new, accessible learning and community space, The John Hurt Centre. To renovate the Grade 1 listed buildings at Cinema City was a demanding task to say the least, but with architect Charles Emberson leading on this project with the support of Chartered Surveyors Andrew Morton Associates, NPB executed the building works in a professional manner, on time and on budget and responded well and adapted to the various challenges along the way. Jamie, Ali and your team – it was a pleasure working with you and many thanks again for all your hard work in delivering The John Hurt Centre at Cinema City, Norwich.” — Claire Chapman, Project Manager, Cinema City Ltd.
“Communication was first rate. We are “hands on” customers and would consider ourselves difficult to please but they pulled off the trick of letting us believe we really owned the project while quietly getting on with all the work. The few inevitable problems there were have been put right without hesitation. We don’t hesitate to recommend NPB and would use them again.”
“NPB undertook two major building contracts for us from 2009. The first to renovate, modernise and alter a Victorian 3 storey building, and the 2nd to build a four car garage with an office above. During the building period we can state that the work undertaken by NPB was always of a high standard, using quality materials and finished to a high specification. NPB employees were always helpful and hardworking. James Pitcher himself was always responsive, helpful in giving suggestions, personally supervising the work at critical points and handling any difficulties in a practical manner. The Victorian restoration was given an award by Broadland District Council. We have been very satisfied by the results, and would use the firm for any future projects. We are happy to recommend NPB for any work you may be considering.”
From the start, NPB’s approach to our project was refreshingly different. There was genuine interest in the plans presented, in how they would affect the building and its historical significance. The team shared our sense of excitement and purpose; the aim of which was to bring a Grade 1 Listed Building into the 21st Century sensitively and beautifully, yet built for practicality. As the project progressed and inevitable issues arose, problem solving came to the fore and nothing was too difficult. This can-do attitude continued right into after care which has been extremely helpful. NPB’s approach is straightforward both in terms of the monthly budget but also during the build. Communication with the entire team was excellent meaning that decisions could be taken in a timely manner which saved time and money. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend NPB for your building project – however large or small.
