"Corksol render…"

We had a Corksol render applied to the outside of our Victorian cottage by Taurus. The guys were very nice and eventually we have a house to be proud of. There were a few bumps along the road with difficulty in covering some cracks and damage to the existing render, but they persevered and made a good job of it despite being hampered by the wet summer we’ve had this year. We have really noticed the improved insulation now that we’ve started having to light the wood burners to heat the house. Overall very pleased.

"Thank you Darren"

A big shoug out to Darren who has been great and has helped us with the planning of an HMO refurbishment project.
Darren is so knowledgeable in construction planning and project management.
We were feeling overwhelmed with our project and by CDM regulations.
Darren clearly explained our duties under CDM regs and he gave us step by step clear advice on putting together a Schedule of Works and covering everything we need to do in the construction planning stage.
He gave us templates to use and offered his help throughout, making the process so less stressful.
Highly recommended !

"Great work"

Jack and Darren were both great. We had an unexpected issue arising with our house effecting the original plan but they were incredibly responsive and helpful in finding a solution to the problem. They were both really hard working and it was a pleasure to have them here working on our property.

"Definitely recommend….."

Darren and Jack have done a room insulation, complete replaster and loft insulation for me this week. Really happy with the work and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

"Project Management"

We worked on a project with Darren which was a complete back to brick conversion from a 3 bedroom maisonette to 2 one bedroom flats. Darren was extremely thorough with pre-planning and throughout the entire project, knowledgeable with all aspects of the project, always on hand and on completion with snagging etc. He was always to the end of the phone if needed, and still continues to be. We found Darren to be an excellent project manager, we would definitely work with Darren again and would not hesitate to recommend him.

"Thanks"

I would like to thank Darren. I found him very helpful and knowledgeable, I need help refurbishing my rental property in particular the EPC, and getting it up to a level C. Not only was Darren able to advise on heating and insulation that was needed to get it to a level C. He was then able with his team to carry out everything that was needed making it super easy for me!! Thanks

"Project Delivery Masterclass is a 'must attend'"

Darren is very knowledgeable and his Project Delivery Masterclass is one of the best training I attended.

"Highly recommend Darren!"

I met Darren at a networking event where Darren is one of the experts and oh boy he is certainly an expert! Being interested in refurbishments and project management, I decided to attend Darren’s Project delivery masterclass. I learnt the real nitty gritty of the whole refurb process. I particularly found the legalities side super useful as not many trainers talk about this. Highly would recommend Darren to all!

"I took Darren's training in July and…"

I took Darren's training in July and found it very helpful and informative. Darren goes into a good level of detail and I learnt things that I didn't know, despite having already done other training with other providers. The best thing, however, is that after the training Darren is still happy to offer guidance and support and answer any questions, all these months later, which is worth a lot to me. There is also a members area where you can access the course content which is very handy to be able to refer back to, especially if you have a memory like mine. Thank you Darren at Taurus 🙂

"A must do for anyone starting out in property development"

As they say, you don't know what you don't know. The gap in my knowledge before this training course was the compliance aspect of running a refurb/development project.

Other training providers always stress the importance of being compliant in terms of insurances, ombudsman membership and potentially AML, but they gloss over compliance requirements for a development project - I knew little about CDM and other regulatory requirements.

I now feel more confident in everything from the initial viewing, estimating costs, finding a build team and complying with all regulations. Importantly, I'm now comfortable that I won't be in breach of regulations with my first development project.
