Real feedback from homeowners who built their countryside homes with Vegowi
We commissioned a two-storey house with a garage in Surrey. The project took 11 months from foundation to keys. All materials were exactly as specified in the contract - Wienerberger bricks, Velux windows, Knauf insulation. The team handled all planning permissions efficiently. Our family moved in last April and couldn't be happier with the build quality.
Good service overall. The house was completed on schedule, which was important for us. Communication could have been slightly better during the roofing stage, but they resolved all questions promptly once we raised them. The final result meets our expectations and the price was competitive compared to three other quotes we received.
Outstanding work from start to finish. The craftsmanship is evident in every detail!
I'm absolutely delighted with my new countryside home! The team understood exactly what I wanted - an open-plan ground floor with underfloor heating and large bi-fold doors opening to the garden. They suggested some practical improvements to the original design that actually reduced costs without compromising quality. The project manager kept me informed every week with photos and progress updates.
We had a challenging plot with a significant slope and limited access. Two other builders declined the project. Vegowi surveyed the site, designed a split-level house that works with the natural terrain, and arranged for smaller equipment that could navigate the narrow lane. The foundation work required 47 cubic metres of concrete delivered in stages. Yes, it added three weeks to the timeline, but they explained everything clearly and the structural engineer certified all work. The house sits perfectly on the hillside now, and we have spectacular views across the Kent countryside.
Decent build quality and reasonable pricing. The house is solid and well-insulated. Delivery took two weeks longer than initially estimated due to weather delays in February, which was understandable. Would have appreciated more frequent updates during that period. The finishing work is good, though we had to address a few minor snags ourselves. Overall, a fair experience for the money we paid.
The ROI on this project exceeded our expectations. We built a four-bedroom house on inherited land for £285,000 including all fees. Comparable properties in the area sell for £420,000-£450,000. The construction process was transparent with detailed invoices for all materials and labour. They coordinated 11 different subcontractors seamlessly, which saved us considerable time and stress.
Completed our cottage renovation in 8 months. Professional approach throughout. Would have been five stars if they offered more design customization options, but that's a minor point.
After living in London for 15 years, we wanted a proper countryside home in Hertfordshire. The build quality is superb - double-glazed timber windows, solid oak internal doors, and a Vaillant heating system that keeps running costs low. They handled Building Control inspections professionally, and everything passed first time. The attention to detail in the bathroom tiling and kitchen installation particularly impressed us.
