What our clients say
“The team at Horizon Construction understand and know how to deliver when it comes to the automotive sector. Both at JLR Southend and BMW Mini Hindhead to date, Horizon’s approach to all aspects of the build provides confidence that expectations will be met. From assistance with co-ordination of direct subcontractors, to proactively ensuring smooth transition to an operational facility on completion, their smile and solve attitude ensures successful delivery.”
"We have found the site, contracts and senior management teams to be professional, efficient and friendly to work with. Some of the projects have been in live environments where a sympathetic understanding of the customers business is essential, and I am pleased to report that Horizon Construction has a good understanding of the Automotive sector and the requirements of our core business."
"I have a long-established relationship with the directors from both the Colchester and London offices at Horizon Construction, working as the Project Manager and QS on a number of their healthcare and commercial construction projects. Their construction team is always professional, highly competent and dependable in their role. They have a very good understanding of their duties and the individual needs of their clients. Construction projects always have restrictions and differences around progress, quality and cost - Horizon Construction are always fair and understanding on all accounts. The quality of completed projects is excellent and the process of getting there is efficient and a pleasant experience. I am happy to recommend the services of Horizon Construction as a competent and approachable contractor."
"Oakland Care carefully selects principal construction partners to deliver the high standards and cooperation we expect during all stages of construction for our new care homes. Maplewood Court Care Home in Maidstone represented the first project working with Horizon Construction. We were delighted with the level of service and collaboration from their team. Not only was the project delivered within budget, but it was also one of the smoothest transitions to an operational site we have experienced. This is a testament to the expertise, experience and commitment of their team. The new 72-bed care home is now one of our flagship facilities in our portfolio, offering an exceptional and friendly home for its residents. Our team hopes to be working again with Horizon Construction in the future."
"I am working on my second healthcare project with Horizon Construction since starting my role at Healthcare Homes. Horizon Construction has worked with us for many years and developed a well-established and professional working relationship over many successful contracts. Horizon Construction has a very good understanding of our daily operations and has always had good communication links with our management teams, which is essential when working in live environments such as care homes. Their project delivery team is polite and professional and collectively deliver the project to a high standard and very much to our satisfaction. Healthcare Homes is very happy to recommend Horizon Construction to others in the healthcare sector."
"I have had the pleasure of appointing Horizon Construction as the main contractor on several occasions. Their strong ability to produce solutions to any unforeseen circumstances is one of the countless reasons why I would recommend them. Pre-contractual commitments such as advising and assisting with planning consent is one of many benefits of introducing Horizon Construction to a development. Throughout, they are pro-active and offer a ‘smile and solve’ approach. Horizon Construction’s after-sales care is efficient and reliable with their positive attitude continuing once the job is completed. They are always happy to go the extra mile and have on occasion provided display housing to support with sales."
"We have found Horizon Construction to be a proactive contractor, taking an early interest in the project and always keen to have a role in the buildability of a scheme. Their site teams are professional and accommodating and happy to assist in any matter asked of them. We would happily endorse the services of Horizon Construction and very much hope to have a long and regular working relationship."
"We have used the services of Horizon Construction since 2007 for all our new build developments, major and minor refurbishments, alterations and pro-active maintenance. The directors and staff of Horizon Construction are professional, hands-on and adaptive to the demands of the project and the client requirements. Their work is of the highest standard and their management of projects is efficient and clearly demonstrates their extensive knowledge in the building industry. We can happily endorse their performance and quality of their work, and would readily recommend them to other developers or project managers."
"I have only worked with Horizon on one residential development project creating 8 houses to date, but importantly my first under my own direction and new company. They were understanding and easy to work with and found that they took an interest in duties and tasks officially outside of their remit, which was useful and certainly created the feeling of team spirit. I felt comfort in knowing that I am only a telephone call away from dealing with the company owners and would happily engage them in the future, and look forward to working with their team."
"One of the principal attractions of Horizon Construction’s modus operandi is the transparency of the financial aspect. Right from the onset, through to the payment of contractors and suppliers, it is possible to see exactly where one's money is being spent and variations, both positive and negative, are easy to identify and understand. We have built up an extremely good relationship with all members of staff and have always found them to be helpful and approachable."
"Laurie Wood Associates has worked with Horizon Construction on a number of occasions across the education and healthcare sectors. We have found their commitment, work ethic and customer care both during the contracts and post-completion to be exemplary. Cost control is important to our clients and Horizon Construction is very often competitive without sacrificing quality or the customer experience."
"PCH Associates has built an effective working relationship with Horizon Construction over various projects in the education sector. They are always professional and understanding of the clients’ requirements, whilst maintaining a quality product and a close and competitive eye on commercial controls. The construction team has always been commended by facility management teams as well as the project team at PCH. Horizon Construction’s understanding of the sector is essential to the project’s success, particularly as many schemes are built within live environments."
