TESTIMONIALS
“In 2018 we moved with the family from The Netherlands to the UK. That in itself is already pretty challenging, but finding a house for our family was for sure our biggest challenge. Over the last 3.5 years 1 Wayford Terrace has really been a great home to us. We couldn’t have found a better landlord in SMC. They went out of their way to make sure we felt at home and had everything we needed. Kerri and Laura have been incredible. They responded so quickly to every question we had and have been nothing but good to us.”
“The dynamic team at SMC are an absolute pleasure to work with. They get positive outcomes because they are collaborative, professional and creative, time after time. We enjoy working with the best as it brings out the best in us.”
“We have thoroughly enjoyed working with the whole development team at SMC and have always found their approach to be very considered and totally professional.”
“The team at SMC value the importance of high-quality spaces that reflect the lifestyles and requirements of today. As architects and designers, it’s a real joy to be working with their vibrant team that share this passion in all that they do.”
“SMC Property believe in building great quality homes without compromise and, as we also aim for the highest standards in construction, we have valued our relationship with them since 2016. It is important to us to work with a team of people who appreciate good quality of service and work to high professional standards. The Kisiel Group team look forward to working together with them on the next project.”
“We are delighted to be collaborating with SMC on their exciting mixed-use residential development in Quayside Lodge, Fulham. We have been working together to bring much needed new homes to the area, focussing on sustainability and supporting the client’s ambition with cost consultancy, programme and pre-construction logistics services. Hopefully, this is the first project of many more to come.”
