Andrew was fantastic to work with whilst designing our extension, he is very open, honest and communicative, and offers a professional yet friendly service. As newbies in home extensions he helped us every step of the way and we're very happy with the result. Highly recommend!
Rear Kitchen Extension, Hitchin
Thank you for doing such a good job on our architectural drawings. I've spoken with 6 building firms so far and all have commented on how good your drawings are. Just thought I'd let you know. Thank you.
Two-storey Extension, Gamlingay
Andrew was great, very thorough, excellent communication and clear architectural design drawings. Very helpful with regards to advice re: structural engineers and building control plus many other other aspects! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend - a very personal service.
Historic Building Remodelling
From the moment he visited site, Andrew's approach and communication was spot on. I felt very comfortable with his suggestions and recommendations. His pricing was competitive and his work ethic clearly of a good standard. Nothing seemed too much trouble and everything completed swiftly. More than 1 builder we obtained a quote from commented on the high detail of the drawings we submitted.
Garage Conversion, Biggleswade
I cannot recommend Andrew highly enough. The detail of the architectural drawings, his flexibility in changes to the plans, his own ideas and inspirations for design were all excellent. On top of this he knew the right people to talk to in order to move things forward, and more importantly, when to contact them and how to phrase things in a manner that produced results. Thanks again Andrew.
Replacement Outbuilding, Huntingdon
We knew what we wanted but didn't know where to start or what to do! Andrew helped us brilliantly at every stage, from planning, design and detailed drawings to also paperwork and dealing with all the building regulations. He explained everything to us very clearly and was always happy to answer any questions at any time. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Andrew to anyone in the future.
Kitchen Extension, St Neots
I used Andrew to prepare drawings, lodge the supporting applications and successfully obtain approvals for a small extension. He was professional throughout, explaining everything clearly and happy to answer any queries I had. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Lounge extension, Wrestlingworth
Andrew has helped us massively with our extension & refurbishment project. With a tiny 2 bed mid terrace, space isn't on our side but Andy was able to help us realise maximum use of the space available. He helped us navigate the complexities of planning rules and was ever patient and professional as we changed our minds as we went along. I can't recommend him highly enough!
