Levitt Construction

Levitt Construction is a family-run building company based in Brighton, East Sussex. George, a trained carpenter, is a multi-skilled builder with project managing knowledge across all trades and has 24 years of building experience. The company acts as the Main Contractor and can manage every aspect of each building project from start to finish. It has a trusted and experienced team of tradespeople covering all phases of the build through groundworks, brickwork, plumbing, electrics, carpentry, tiling, plastering, decorating, and outside landscaping.

Levitt Construction offers loft conversions, extensions, and general home refurbishments. It has experience in commercial properties, including refurbishing media centres, restaurants, night clubs, nurseries, dentists, and converting office and living spaces. Levitt Construction undertakes structural landscaping, including building retaining walls, installing fencing, decking, paving or tiles, creating paths and driveways, and installing electrical and drainage systems. It can recommend local architects, engineers, and designers with whom they work regularly.

Reports of stepping in to rescue a project abandoned by a previous builder form the thread that runs through the feedback. George is the figure who recurs, and opinions about his involvement diverge sharply. Several accounts describe being taken on after another contractor left unfinished work and disorder, with praise for straight talk about the likely costs and for a swift, capable finish; a renovation and extension is said to have received close attention to detail and a personal touch that stretched to keeping neighbours onside, finishing on schedule and within the agreed figure.

Set against this, one strongly worded account alleges substandard workmanship, tasks left half complete, irregular attendance and money taken for jobs beyond the experience of the person doing them. The reviews pull in opposite directions, so no settled verdict on reliability or standards emerges, and the seriousness of the criticism means anyone weighing up building work may prefer to make their own enquiries first. This split, rather than any single judgement, is the central fact about this Brighton and Hove building firm.
