Report
My husband and I decided to build our dream home although we were on an extremely tight budget Kenny Donaldson kept us focused on budgets and processes. We hired him to manage our build and he did more than was in his job description! Kenny and his team are very hard working and aim to please. We would definately recommend East Down building to anyone looking any aspect of building work done as he is one of the most genuine trades men we have ever known! We are now settled into our home and extremely happy and thankful to Kenny. He is now renovating my mothers house and building a loft conversion for her! Big thank you
