We will always use Aartvark collective for any future projects. They are hard working, extremly skilled and fantastic value”.

Cobus is a real craftsman. He has renovated our conservatory, built a timber garden office, decking, porch and landscaped our gardens. In the process of completely transforming our outside living space we can report Cobus and his team’s work is quick but precise, thorough and with an eye for detail. He takes pride in delivering quality work. He even showed his artistic side by adding decorative details to the woodwork! We would (and have) definitely recommended him to anyone looking for an honest, hard-working and high-quality carpenter and builder.”

Cobus has built me a beautiful cabin and worked on other carpentry jobs around my home in Greece. I have always been very impressed with his work. I found the work to be top quality, and really a one off piece of workmanship, as I still have not seen anything as good around. I am very pleased to know the aARTvark Collective, and I wish them the very best future, and hope he comes back to Greece again soon. Highly recommended.”

We came to Cobus with an unusual idea for a dining table that would seamlessly fold up and blend into our main living space. A few weeks later he’d come up with a precise sketch, and after a few months we received a piece of uniquely crafted, living, functional art. To say that we love it would be an understatement – it has become the centre of our living area and has greatly improved our quality of life. The attention to detail is phenomenal – no detail is left to chance and quirkiness abounds. We won’t hesitate to go back to the Aartwark Collective in the future.
