Built on trust since 1996. Build with confidence today

For 30 years, almost every one of the 500+ building projects we’ve delivered across Bristol has come through word-of-mouth. That tells you everything about our commitment to quality and the people who renovate, extend or build your home.

When Joe Dybowski started his building business in Bristol in 1996, he made a simple promise… no shortcuts, no compromises, just honest work done properly. When you do right by people, project after project, year after year, you earn trust. It's why we're still here. And it's why, with Dybowski, you can build with confidence.

The building team with staying power

Most of our team have been working with us for decades. That’s rare in this industry, but good people stay where they're treated fairly and where they can take pride in their work. Our values are simply: 

  • Do it right

  • Respect the craft

  • Look after each other 

For you, this means the people building your project care about what they're doing. They're not cutting corners to hit a deadline. They're craftspeople who've chosen to work with Joe, building projects they can be proud of. All power to your project.

Born & bred

Map of Bristol neighborhoods, names labeled, including Stoke Bishop, Redland, Cotham, Clifton, Southmead, Horfield, Henleaze, Westbury-on-Trym, Kingsdown, Centre, St. Andrews, Bishopston, Henbury, and others.

It’s where most of us were born, where we live, where we raise our families, where we've built relationships that span decades.

We’ve worked on hundreds of building projects across Bristol's most established neighbourhoods – Clifton, Redland, Cotham, Stoke Bishop, Westbury-on-Trym, Henleaze and beyond. We know these areas intimately – their architecture, their planning requirements, their character. (And their parking issues!).

This Bristol knowledge matters to us and we think it should matter to you too.

10 steps from vision to reality

We work direct with customers and/or their architects and designers. Whichever route you choose, every project follows a careful path from first conversation to final handover. Here's how we work – clearly and transparently, with no surprises.

* If you haven’t yet appointed an architect, don’t have technical drawings, planning consents or building regulation approvals, we can give you initial advice then recommend architecture practices in Bristol that are a great fit for your project.
