We dealt with Prina who was massively helpful nothing was too much trouble over a period of at the very least 6 months and more like 9 months. A truly professional and helpful company, if you worry about price remember you get what you pay for. Ian Lynam

A massive thank you to sanjay for securing planning permission on my house extension and project mangling the whole thing for me. It wasn't the most straight forward project but they still managed to get it done. They were always available to guide me through the process with patience and expertise. The final plans were detailed and well thought out. I highly recommend skm design to anyone looking for a reliable team

SKM Design did a fantastic job with the plans for our home extension, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. From the very beginning, they made the process seamless and stress-free. They not only delivered precise, high-quality plans but also took on full project management, so I didn’t have to worry about any of the details. Their professionalism and clear communication made me feel completely at ease throughout the project. I highly recommend SKM Design to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled team that delivers excellent results!

The consultation and overall design of my home extension were good. Communication during the project was prompt. I would have preferred to be warned about additional costs such as for Structural Engineer Reports and Building Control. Thank you.

The team at SKM (Sanjay in particular) have worked with us from the outset to convert a 1920s house that had not been updated since the 1960s into our dream home comprising of a traditional look and feel at the front to a more modern contemporary look at the rear. This was a full renovation, back to the bricks with only 2 original walls that were untouched. From the beginning, Sanjay was here on-site giving suggestions and guidance to our project and despite the numerous adjustments we made along the way, the amendments to the final plans were made quickly and efficiently. Despite covid and the lockdowns, our full renovation project gained momentum and the team at SKM was always at hand to support our builder with design queries and also the building regs team at the end of the project for the final sign-off. We could not be happier with the service we received from SKM and I would thoroughly recommend that you at least reach out to SKM for any of your future building projects.

To summarise, SKM Architects were simply amazing! Very professional, respectful, diligent and knowledgeable. They were able to navigate a challenging situation, offer great advice, manage and conclude the build of my extension on time and budget. The whole experience with the team was stress free and smooth running. Sanjay was always informative of the status, he gave clear instructions and recommendations when I needed to make decisions and his attention to detail on site was second to none. Whenever I had a query, Sanjay was on hand to address any questions and he always gave sound logical justifications. The construction team was polite and skilful. They were empathetic to our day to day needs as they continued to get the work completed at the same time as we resided in the property.

SMK design has been very helpful in the all process of our house extension and renovation. Sanjay and Mitesh have done an extra work in explain us the project in plain English supporting us on each step. They gave advice how to improve our house in the best possible way using all the possible space available. Thus professionalism has been at the heart of the project as well the price was reasonable for the amount of work. Overall, we would recommend them.

We couldn't be happier with the work carried out by Sanjay and his team. Having had a bad experience with another company trading as architects, SKM quickly showed us the importance of having a professional experienced company to help with the important parts of your project. In our case it was the planning process. They took all the stress and anguish away that we had from the previous company and the process was a smooth stress free one from start to finish. Highly recommended!

We used SKM design for our second project - this time was a commercial project. As always, Sanjay and his team provided a fantastic, efficient and reliable service. Nothing was ever too much trouble and they were always just a phone call away for any advice. From planning and design, through to building, project management and interior design, SKM Design ensured the highest attention to detail and worked to a high standard throughout the project. We would highly recommend SKM Design and look forward to using them on future projects.

We hired SKM for a downstairs extension project for our disabled brother. The work included converting a separate garage building into a bathroom, building a connecting extension to the main house and building out the front of the main house to seamlessly connect to the new extension. SKM covered everything from architecture, project management and selecting and managing the builders. The planning was most important for this project where we had to consider the needs for our disabled brother who would be spending 24/7 in the room, but SKM did all the heavy lifting with regards to accessibility, practicality and liaising with the council to ensure we fully covered our brothers needs. They also ensured the designs were modern, but also in keeping with with the original property. SKM took the stress out the project for us as they fully dealt with the builders, invoices, schedules and inspections. This held the builders to account to ensure costs remained in line with the original contract and to ensure all parties were informed and happy throughout the whole process. The completed extension looks fantastic, built to a really high spec and we are very happy with the end result. We would definitely use or recommend SKM for any future projects.

Primal, thank you very much for your review. We are so glad to hear of your satisfaction with our service and delivery of the project. Most importantly we hope that your brother enjoys the new spaces. Wishing you and your family all the best.

Absolutely excellent service from the minute go from 1st visit to measurements, planning of architects drawings, to meeting with the builder introduced by SKM Architects Midlands Property Developers Ltd who took on our project. Throughout the build inspection was arranged by SKM & builder we never had to worry about anything as it was all taken care of including extras, concrete pattern patio area, underfloor heating to letting us use Howdens to source our kitchen and doors which look amazing as now we have an amazing kitchen for our family to enjoy. Thankyou Sanjay @ SKM Architects & Team, Mitesh the Architect who listened to our design ideas and the rest of the team. Also like to Thank Narinda our builder and his team for making it all come true Thankyou all from Mr & Mrs P Mistry & Family.

After contacting and having onsite consultations with 5 different Architects in the Leicestershire area, we decided to use SKM. It was instantly obvious there were a much more professional company than the others, offering advice and suggestions from the off rather than just asking us what we wanted, we don't know what we want, that's why we are looking for an architect! Initially I though the price was rather high, but on reflection now it's all complete, it was well worth spending a bit extra. Throughout the process SKM listened to our requirements, no matter how often we wanted to change things or make tweaks, this was not an issue. The designs and ideas presented to us were inline with what we wanted and ticked every box of our requirements from the first draft design. The tendering process was also easy, it was all organised by SKM, and they only tender to builders they have used previously and have had good reports on. The project management once the build starts was where I was most surprised by SKM involvement and eye for details. With seemingly weekly visits checking up on everything, it really gave me reassurance the project would be a success. Now we have moved back to our home, we are over the moon with the result, and the project has made a real positive impact on family life. I have no hesitation recommending SKM to anyone.

Sanjay and his team at SKM Design provide an outstanding service….they are a very professional, friendly and forward thinking team. They also took great care in project, as if it was their own. In addition, they have a very attentive eye to detail and helped to design and project manage our dream house. We were so impressed with the service, that we have recently appointed SKM Design for a new commercial project. Thank you SKM design, we would highly recommend your services.

The SKM Design team were meticulous, they stayed in constant contact during the entire project, we were always informed on specifics while the project was underway, they met the project time scale. SKM architects has a reliable and highly qualified team, who were able to explain everything through every stage of the project. At no time did we feel dissatisfied or in-the-dark. The entire project from the initial discussion of the project to the very end was smooth.
