We engaged James and Dowdall Developments Ltd. to carry out a full renovation of Carroll Mead housing. James and his team consistently provide excellent workmanship. Professional and reliable, easy to cooperate with. Provide clear communication and quick unforeseen problems solving. Always patient and pleasant to work with, highly recommended.

We used Dowdall Developments to manage the construction of an extension to our house because of their competitive bid. We were very impressed with the way James managed the contract throughout. He was very professional, knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and reacted swiftly and positively whenever unexpected problems arose. We are delighted with the extension, and would strongly recommend their services, and would use them again if the requirement arose.

Very pleased with James and company. James was exceptionally knowledgeable, helpful, and available. He patiently answered all my (many) questions to put together the plan of work. The work was excellent. They showed great care in the job and after.

A very helpful and trustworthy team that we'd be happy to recommend. We engaged Dowdall Developments to complete renovation works on Lios Dubh housing estate. The work was finished to an excellent standard.

Without a doubt the best money spent on our renovation & extension was to engage Dowdall Developments. James was always available to answer questions throughout the project as unexpected problems arose. He jumped in and was always ready to offer design solutions specific to our project and we saved money by avoiding incorrect systems. I really can’t believe how amazing the final result came out. This is a true talent with the skills and expertise to get the job done right. Highly recommended!

James is an exceptional builder with a precise eye to detail. Informative and helpful at every stage of the process. His workmanship and finish is second to none, and I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.
