Testimonials

"We wanted to take the opportunity to sincerely thanks Sean, Tom, Dave, Jason and all of the wider team at Bourke for what is a remarkable addition to our home. The Pavillion has immediately become the heart of the home – which was exactly what we wanted. At the start of the project what struck us was the care, attention to detail and enthusiasm the entire team had and which remained throughout. What’s more, every single person on site was pleasant, accommodating and mindful that they were in our home which made it as unintrusive as possible. The finish is second to none and always commented upon by everyone who sees it. The relationship between us, Bourke and Doma Architects was seamless and any obstacles resolved easily, timely and fairly. We have no hesitation in recommending Bourke (in fact our friends are already using them!) and would, without doubt, use them again for any other building projects we undertake."

“Working with Sean, Tom and the team at Bourke has been a genuine pleasure. After the stress of our previous extension, I was extremely nervous about this project but they worked tirelessly to keep it on schedule, communicated openly and regularly and just generally did an amazing job on all aspects of the build. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them (as I have done already) and I would use them again in a heartbeat. Thanks again!”

As an architect with numerous years of experience in the industry I have had the opportunity to work with numerous contractors on various residential projects. I have been fortunate to work with Sean and his team on a number of these projects. Bourke Building raise the bar in terms of professionalism, craftsmanship and attention to detail. Their proactive approach demonstrates a deep understanding of the construction process and an unwavering commitment to delivering the best outcome. Bourke Building effectively manage the construction schedule, ensuring that each phase of the project progresses smoothly and on time. They go above and beyond to ensure that the client’s needs and preferences are met throughout the construction process and their willingness to address any concerns promptly and professionally are truly impressive. I would highly recommend their services to anyone undertaking a residential building project.

"Sean and his team were appointed to undertake a full renovation and extension project for a property between Harrogate and Leeds. Despite being one of the most complex structrual alterations I have been involved in, Sean handled the difficult works with a constant attention to the contruction details. Where many other Principal Contractor's would have walked away, Sean approached these works with a calm manner, and a clear plan for the works. Sean's control of the budget, and constant monitoring meant that both the Client and myself as the Architect were kept informed. When issues arose, there was no problem, only a suggested solution which was a pleasure to work with. Sean's experience is evident, as is the respect for him amongst his team. I would have no hesitation to recommend Sean based on my experience of working closely with him."

"We are really pleased with the project undertaken by BBR. It was completed on time and to budget.

"Sean and his team did a superb job for us, turning the unfinished shell of our extension into a fabulous bathroom/ changing area; including a walk in shower, panelled walls with tiled floor, lighting design and full decoration. His attention to detail is second-to-none and you really feel like he is a safe pair of hands. Sean communicates well at all stages, providing regular updates against the project plan and invoicing schedule. What’s more, he’s a likeable person who was a pleasure to work with. I would never hesitate to recommend Bourke Building and Refurbishment"

"Bourke Build did an outstanding job of managing the project to fully refurbish our family home. Sean shared fair and transparent pricing with realistic timescales at the outset, and remained flexible mid-project as scope changed. At all times we had clear and honest feedback on progress or problems, with a positive approach to finding solutions. Our project spanned the first coronavirus lockdown, and the whole Bourke Build team did a remarkable job of minimising the delay despite challenging circumstances. And the final finish is first class, a result we're really pleased with."
