Overall Experience
The reviews highlight a mixed bag of experiences with the construction firm. While one reviewer was largely dissatisfied with the service, another reviewer had a very positive experience.
Disruption and Noise
The negative review mentioned that the construction work caused significant disruption to their daily life, including noise pollution from loud music played at 8am and disturbance caused by heavy machinery. The reviewer also complained about the mess caused by the work, including cement splashing on their car and debris scattered on their driveway.
Professionalism and Attitude
The same negative review praised the politeness and professionalism of most tradespeople involved in the project, except for the ground workers who were deemed to be the source of the problems. In contrast, the positive review described the firm as "great" with a "great team" who were able to manage the project from start to finish, including decorating.
