Alison McDowell Whitehall Construction has the expertise to take any project from design to completion Alison McDowell and her family are nearing the end of a major seven-month re-building project on their new home. They chose Jason Wilkinson of West London company Whitehall Construction as their contractor. Here she recalls the experience of working with Jason and his team. ‘For the last 20 years this house was a rental property and it hadn’t had any love. So, we bought it in the full knowledge of what lay ahead of us; we’re doing a whole ground floor extension, converting the loft and pretty much all the floors and ceilings have come down. At one point it seemed that only the front wall was left standing! ‘Our architect recommended that Jason should be one of the builders asked to tender for the job. He made an immediate impression: he was quiet, friendly and, most importantly, he had clearly thought about and understood what we wanted to achieve. When we got planning permission we moved out and, since then, Jason has managed everything. In fact, the sooner I can put something in his hands – for example, organising all the specialist suppliers who come in and out – the happier I am. ‘Jason does exactly what he says he’s going to do, he shouts early if he foresees issues and always seems to have a solution. He’s on site every day, we have regular weekly meetings and, in between, he’s available if needed. The site team is equally wonderful; they have taken great pride in their work and in creating this house for us. ‘We’re a month or so away from completion and throughout the process Jason has inspired us with confidence. We trust and recommend him absolutely.’
