Testimonials

We were fortunate to select Dowling Construction for our New Build, Custom Design house. The project was a turnkey delivery which was achieved within programme time and budget, we are delighted with the end result which took only 8 months from breaking ground to us moving in. The Dowling Construction delivery team excelled in all aspects and were extremely helpful in the selection of all the finishes, both internal and external. We would have no hesitation in recommending Dowling Construction as they have provided to us our "Dream House.

Cathy and Ivor

Comprehensive service with excellent attention to detail. Without a doubt the ‘go-to’ construction company for a bespoke build. We couldn’t be happier with the service from planning to completion.

I am a property developer in and around Bosham. I have built and developed many houses and I can honestly say that the experience is always a little daunting and usually followed by quite a lot of sleepless nights! Well, that all changed when I employed Rueben Dowling to build two houses on Bosham Lane. The whole experience from start to finish was something that I had given up thinking existed. He is very knowledgeable, approachable and along with his team hard working. The project ran like clockwork on budget and on time. I could finally relax a little knowing that if any issues arose I would be informed of them before any action taken and we would discuss a way through together. I honestly look forward to working with Reuben again (something I have never said before about a builder)!

Professional, on time and on budget, Dowling Construction are the best builders we have worked with. Leading from the front with personal commitment Reuben and his team have delivered a quality finish, adapted to changes with sound advice, and provided clear financial visibility throughout. Right from the start a comprehensive and detailed quote was matched with the build quality and experience from Reuben’s years in the trade, giving us the extension we always wanted. Dowling Construction are thoroughly recommended and I will be using them again.

Will King

Dowling Carpentry and Construction’s renovation of our 1970’s home, has transformed our existing space. Reuben realised our original vision for the project, whilst also improving the design with his own insights and ideas. We were charged exactly as originally quoted. Any additional work was clearly highlighted as such. The project started on time and finished on schedule. The building team was friendly, reliable, efficient, and as unobtrusive as possible. We were therefore able to stay in the property throughout. We were very happy with the overall result and would highly recommend Dowling’s services.

Faye Downey

We have just completed an extensive refurbishment with Dowling Construction and can’t speak more highly of them - a great team of people to work with, who are extremely experienced and knowledgeable…no issue to big or daunting to solve. They have turned a very tired and run down property into a contemporary, attractive home - couldn’t be more delighted

Justine Johnson

Reuben Dowling went above and beyond to make sure that all our wishes were met. Our build was completed in just nine months and came in on budget. We cannot recommend Dowling Construction enough and should the opportunity to build another property arise we would only consider using Dowling Construction.
