Chris says: “This project had been on hold for quite some time
because the owners specifically asked me to build the house for
them and their two grown-up daughters. I had other commitments
to deal with first, but I was always enthusiastic.
“It was agreed that as soon as I could fit the build into my schedule,
I would make a start on the house, which will be used as a holiday
home by the family. It was a really exciting project for me as it meant
I could use my vast experience to create this truly amazing home.
“From the moment I opened talks with AluFoldDirect, I felt
confident that the company would be perfect for this project.
Of course, we had all the drawings from the architect, so it
was easy for me to share them with AluFoldDirect and they
responded enthusiastically.
“We worked together and the end result is stunning. The
aluminium bifold doors work beautifully and enable the family
to embrace the outdoors and soak up all those wonderful
sunsets.
“The double-height corner window opened up internal
space and created natural light throughout the property, but
especially at the rear.
“It was of paramount importance that we celebrated exactly
where the house was positioned because, believe me, it is
absolute perfection.”

and prides itself on managing contracts efficiently, working to

AluFoldDirect – but links are now strong.
Chris says: “The job, albeit a huge one, was no exception to the
rule. I personally worked on this contract and I treated it like it was
my own property. We kept to deadlines and the build was fast-
moving at times.
“In fact, if this house ever came on the market, I’d buy it tomorrow
– that’s how much I loved it. I could really picture myself sitting at
the window, looking out at the ever-changing coastal picture that
you wish you could frame forever.”
