They have maintained a constant dialogue with us during this period. Their cooperative approach and their experience in building works resulted in a seamless collaboration with other vendors. When we inspected the final product three months later, we were elated to see our vision has been beautifully materialised” — Miss Gao
“Having worked with Ship Shape Construction last year on a £360k residential refurbishment Project we will certainly be looking to use them again. They provided a comprehensive tender on time and then completed the works on site within programme, within budget and to a high quality finish that satisfied both the Client and Architect. A very good professional Contractor that made the whole Project very easy for all involved.” — Ian Swaysland, ABA Quantity Surveyors
“ORMS have recently worked with Ship Shape Construction on a fast track, high quality residential refurbishment project in central London. The project was well managed, delivered on time and finished to a high standard. We found Ship Shape to be team-orientated, non-adversarial and quick to respond to client change. The quality of their direct-employed site labour was high and they showed a keen attention to detail throughout. We look forward to working with them again in the future.” — ORMS Architecture Design

“Following all the horror stories you normally hear about builders and refurbishment projects, we were very pleasantly surprised with our experience with Ship Shape. Anthony was courteous and professional throughout, always on hand to help and advise and even attended the property a number of times with a surveyor even before we contracted him to do the job. Ian and his team did a great job and we are very pleased with our new home. We would have no hesitation to recommend Ship Shape to others—our friends are amazed at how smoothly it all went! There are always small hitches with projects such as ours but thanks to Anthony’s calm manner these were kept to a minimum! In all, we are very grateful and Ship Shape does the building trade proud. Thank you for all your hard work!” — Ms Salman
