It was a complete renovation of a large bathroom for our mosque which had to be done to a very high end standard. He also renovated the kitchen, which is a large commercial kitchen.
Barry had already been involved at a project in the mosque - converting a space into apartments. So, I was introduced to Barry through the engineer on that project.
Yes, I love interior design and I had created drawings for the bathroom renovation. I wanted it to be stylish and modern but very functional.
Yes, he had ideas - valuable ideas. I wanted to extend the number of sinks etc in the bathroom so we really had to make the best use of every millimetre of space.
Very well. I had said from the start that I wanted to be consulted on every aspect of the project. He promised he would do that, and he kept to that. Sometimes, that meant calling me 7 or 8 times a day. So, he was very adaptable.
Cleanup wise, Barry was very good. We have very expensive wooden floors in the building and he spent nearly a day making sure that they were fully covered with protective material.
He's very punctual. When he says he's going to come, he'll be there. He had a hard deadline to meet and it was stressful, but he did it.
And the bathroom has a beautiful finish.
For the level of detail and beautiful finish that the project involved, Barry's quote was very reasonable. It was the best quote I got in fact.
Barry's an easy going fellow - not difficult to deal with.
Yes, I do.
