I have always been a builder. I have always wanted to be a builder and I quite simply cannot imagine being anything else. The satisfaction of building something with my own two hand, of bringing together concrete, stone, wood and water and turning it into a home, everything fitting with perfect precision, is one that I cannot image living without.
The best part is when you put away your tools, fold up the sheets, clean away the last of the dust and show the client.
I've been doing it since I was a teenager and a couple of years ago I took the leap and started MJ.MC. Builder Ltd - my own building company - and I have never looked back. When it's your own company and you are overseeing a project you take that much more responsibility for it. It means always being on time. It means earlier mornings, harder days and often later evenings, it means you triple check every measurement and line before putting anything down because whatever happens you're going to keep working on it until you're satisfied, and more importantly until your client is satisfied.
I work with a number of skilled craftsmen. Men who work hard and always do a good job. I oversee all the work that is done, making sure that at the end of the day I am proud to put my name against it.
My business model is simple. Do a really good job, make sure that the client loves the work you have done for them, make sure that after the work is finished that if they ever need you, you are there for them and then, whether it is in two weeks or five years someone will mention to your client that they are thinking of an extension or having their kitchen redone and your client will recommend you. And that is how I stay in business

We've used Michal so far to do our kitchen, bathroom, loft hatch and few other little jobs around the house. Michal is reliable and trustworthy. The finish is always solid, he uses high quality materials and paints. He keeps the place tidy and communicates well in case of any obstacles or delays. I know I can always rely on him. I would highly recommend him and his team.

We first used Michal a couple of years ago and couldn’t recommend him and his team enough. Not only could Michal translate my vision into reality, the quality of his work is outstanding!! I trusted Michal with a key to my house, with my dogs when I was at work, and when I returned each day, it was always clean and tidy - he took away the stress of having work carried out. The end results of any work he has completed have always exceeded our expectations.
