R&M Williams have been delivering quality works for the Carmarthenshire County Council Minor Works Framework since its inception in 2019, to high levels of quality, health and safety standards and customer care. They have worked on 180+ properties during this time, with works varying in scope and complexity within our housing and non-housing stock. I have found their delivery approach collaborative and considerate of neighbours, with each property completed with a high-quality finish, to budget, to specification and accident/incident free.

Robert Rees, Carmarthenshire CC Senior Void Management Team Officer, 2019-2024

R&M Williams delivered the refurbishment for our state of the art Gamma Scanner area within Morriston Hospital on time and to budget. This work required minor demolition, repartitioning and a full M&E fit-out within a live hospital environment, with areas adjacent to the site being in use throughout delivery. This required significant controls on access and cleanliness, and R&M abided by the protocols and constraints without issue.  

Their collaborative approach to delivery and early engagement with hospital staff and specialists minimised disruption and ensured the new scanner was installed safely, with the right protections in place.  

R&M Williams managed and discharged principal contractor duties impeccably and delivered a quality finish, delivering the works to budget, to a high quality standard and accident/incident free.

Mark Jarrett, Swansea Bay UHB Capital Planning, 2020-2024

Cardiff Council work very closely in partnership with R&M Williams to deliver adaptations funded through the provision of Disabled Facilities Grants to elderly, vulnerable and disabled people in Cardiff. Communication is first class and their altruistic approach is refreshing in an era where profit and austerity can often be found in conflict.

Caroline Palmer, Cardiff Council Disability Adaptations, 2018-2022, 2022-ongoing

This very complex and restricted project was successfully delivered by R&M Williams and its multi-faceted design team. Consisting of architecture via CCBC, engineering services by Monmouthshire CBC and mechanical & electrical and quantity surveying by Torfaen CBC, a truly collaborative effort by all parties.

Gareth Davies, Torfaen CBC (part of SEWSCAP2), 2016-2020

Our new school block opened in September 2018, welcoming our pupils to a new school year in a better environment. We were impressed with R&M Williams’ work, their care and involvement in keeping our staff informed and engaged at every stage.

Jennifer Scott, Head Teacher, Cwmffrwdoer school, 2016-2020

It’s been delightful to have R&M Williams delivering our new teaching facility. The works have been carried out with minimal disruption to the school. It was also very rewarding to see one of own our former pupils [Trainee Site Manager] as part of the R&M team.

Mrs Perry, Headteacher, Ninian Park Primary School, 2016-2020

We found R&M to be efficient, diligent, communicative, helpful and approachable. They have adopted an exemplary and workmanlike attitude from the commencement of the works, and the relationships they have created with our tenants during the execution of a difficult contract has been first class.

Stephen Venables, Caerphilly CC surveyor , 2016-2020

I have worked with R&M Williams delivering adaptations for Disabled Facility Grants for the last 8 years, in both a hands on role (Project Officer) and as a Service Manager, overseeing a team of 10 other Project Officers.

R&M Williams have undertaken a wide variety of works including removal of baths to allow for level access showers, ramping works for access, car hardstanding and crossovers, conversion of ground floor rooms to provide sleeping/showering facilities as well as major construction projects (e.g. construction of extensions with associated works).

In all this time, I have found R&M Williams to be reliable, efficient and able to deal with all duties needed to complete works to a high standard, with minimal disruption to the property occupier.

Phil Broad, Service Manager Cardiff Council DFG, 2018-2022, 2022-ongoing

R&M Williams have worked closely with all parties to ensure a smooth process of works, and completed these works on time and with as little disruption to the tenants as possible. The workmanship has been to a high standard, delivered safely, and the tenants have been very pleased.

Steve Williams [R&M Contracts Manager] has gone out of his way to assist not just myself, but tenants of the properties we work in to ensure work does not cause them too much stress. He is an excellent motivator to his staff and a credit to R&M Williams.

Darren Chambers, Swansea Council Project Surveyor, Framework for Kitchen and Bathroom renewals, 2018-2023, 2023-ongoing

R&M Williams currently complete all our void works at a value of £880k per year on over 450 properties annually. R & M Williams also complete work on our planned program delivering works. This involves Communal Areas, kitchens, bathrooms, roofing and general building work.

They have worked incredibly hard over the last few years to work collaboratively with us to improve our customer experience . The standard and quality of our homes have achieved great customer satisfaction levels and we have been impressed by how they have adopted our values and principles.

I also have great feedback from the team who work with R&M on an operational level. This is also replicated by our back office data services team who have great working relationships with R&M Williams. As an example of how they work with us they are also currently supporting us to complete our stock condition surveys on all voids.
