What our clients say

“Building a one off house is never an easy task, but you guys made it so much simpler. I'll never build using bricks again and would be delighted to recommend Solo to others.“

Email from Solo Developer Customer, Mr Ellis

With thanks to the team at Solo, we've been able to create a beautiful bespoke home catering for the needs of our growing family. Having purchased a good sized plot with an old bungalow on it, we were guided by Chris and the design team on the best design of dwelling to fit the plot/surrounding area. From start to almost finish, has been under 12 months and a lot of that speed was down to how quickly the Timber Frame was erected. The possibilities are endless when you take the route of designing your own home.

Google review from A Goodchild

“May I say how happy we are with how things have progressed since the Frame arrived on site, particularly given the weather and of course the Christmas break.“

Email from Solo Self Build Customers, Mr & Mrs Hayward

A great firm from start to end. Staff are wonderful. The back office is so good. Ask for something and it pings into your email within minutes. Value for money is the best without question. This is my second Self Build and the third will be with Solo as a partner. Solo are with out doubt the gold standard in the Self Build business. No one is better.

Email from Solo Customer, Mr Chris Edge

Have used Solo for the Timber Frames on a couple of new builds. The office staff were very responsive. Frames were delivered and constructed on time and went up very quickly which was impressive. Well organised from start to finish. Would use again for future projects of this type.
