Cedar Developments

"The Cedar Team was absolutely fantastic delivering a very successful renovation project of our home which included 2 new bathrooms, the repurposing of 2 public rooms, associated electrical and plumbing works and redecoration. The quality of workmanship and attention to detail was first class and we are delighted with the results. We would have no reservations about recommending the Cedar Team and we look forward to working with Cedar again. Kevin & Sarah"

"Cedar Developments is a truly outstanding company to work with. They don’t just make promises—they deliver. We received expressions of interest from several companies for the major renovation of our apartment. Fortunately, Cedar was the only company that offered a complete end-to-end service, from initial design through to final completion. As we spend much of the year living in Australia, it was essential for us to find a company we could trust. From our very first meeting and the presentation of their initial plans, we were convinced that Cedar was a quality-driven organisation with an excellent vision for the apartment. Throughout the project, we had numerous Zoom meetings with Hamish, the Project Manager, and Clare, the Designer. There was much to discuss and many challenges to overcome, but at no stage did we feel under pressure. Nothing was ever too difficult. Their professionalism, creativity, positivity, and attention to detail were evident throughout. The final result exceeded all our expectations. Cedar transformed a very run-down flat into an exceptional home that we are proud to call our own. We are extremely impressed with the entire team and would not hesitate to recommend Cedar Developments to anyone considering a renovation project."

"Cedar was definitely the right team for my renovation project. It required everything: completely new kitchen and bathroom, windows, full rewire, and everything in between. The quality of the work they did was top tier, and the whole place turned out exactly how I wanted. If I could do it all again, I’d do it all the same. Everyone I encountered from Cedar was extremely professional and polite. Joe came for the initial site meeting and he explained their process and what he thought the works would entail. He listened attentively to the flat’s backstory and what I was trying to achieve with it, and it was obvious to me that he not only understood the vision but also cares a lot about the projects they take on. Hamish (project manager) is incredibly organised and efficient, and he literally handled everything. I never had to worry about what was going on from day to day, which was very important to me since the work happened while I was abroad. When they say they offer a full service experience they really mean it, and I appreciated that they were willing to go the extra mile. Hamish is very knowledgeable about all aspects of buildings and renovating, and especially old buildings in Edinburgh like mine, so I could rest assured that there was a reliable expert in charge. He was very responsive whenever I had questions, and checked in with me regularly. He’s also very kind and patient, and equally as willing to debate paint colours as he is to explain multiple times how saniflos work. He will really listen to what you want and then deliver it in its best form. Hamish is a true gem. Clare (designer) is also excellent, and fun to work with. She has an amazing eye for the details, and helped me make good decisions throughout. She cared about the design outcomes from a practical standpoint as well as an aesthetic one, and when it came time to choose finishes she always knew exactly where to find the fixtures/ fabrics/ stones I was imagining. We did as much as possible together, but I fully trusted Clare to make decisions when I couldn’t be there in person to look at a sample stone or colour swatch. Like Hamish, she really listened to what I wanted and made it happen. Special mention to Aaron, who crafted the cupboards and other joinery – he does such beautiful work, and I highly recommend Cedar for any and all joinery projects. Hamish and Clare have been very kind and accommodating to my family and friends who came along for visits to see the progress, too. I think they enjoy the human aspect of their work, which is refreshing and makes a big difference to the overall experience, especially when it’s a sizeable and lengthy project like this one was. Cedar have continued to be wonderful during the months post completion. They have been making little tweaks and adjustments as needed, and will be working on a few additional things that I’ve decided to add since phase one. If I were to have projects in the future, big or small, I’d hire Cedar Developments every time."
