We engaged Robin, from Posh Homes for the reconstruction of our property, which was an older house that needed major works including redoing the piping and electrical systems, as well as adding an additional level. Given the condition of the house, it was not a simple renovation.

We had a tight budget, and what stood out about Robin was his practical approach. He focused on what was important, especially the structure of the house, and advised us clearly on where to spend and where to save. This helped us keep costs under control without cutting corners.

Robin’s more than 20 years of experience made a big difference. Before choosing him, we spoke to many contractors, builders, and interior designers. Many suggested nice ideas but did not consider cost overruns and future maintenance. Robin was realistic and balanced ideas with budget. For example, instead of spending money on marble for the backdrop, he advised to use marble-looking tile for the same effect!

During the renovation, there were some issues along the way, which is expected. Robin is always hands-on and quick to solve problems. For example, he pointed out the need to reinforce the foundation during the quotation stage and liaised with the PE. His experience helped prevent bigger problems. He would personally come down to check on issues and provide solutions. Many times during the site visits, we will bump into Robin checking on the wiring and ceiling installations. He also completed the entire project in less than a year, which was impressive.

Even after the project was completed for awhile, his after-sales service was reliable. Recently we had a clogged tap, he arranged for a plumber to fix it quickly.

In summary, if you are looking for someone experienced, practical, and able to manage construction work within a budget, Robin from Posh Homes is a good choice.
