Architecture and More

Carl was very prompt in responding to our calls and emails and generally made our experience as stress free as it could have been. He was able to offer excellent advice and alternative options as budget constraints developed. He modified plans and issued revised drawings in a timely fashion. He was effective in monitoring work as the project developed and in liaising with other professionals such as the quantity surveyor, structural engineer and building control approved contractor. He dealt with the Local Authority Planning process throughout.

Carl was just amazing from start to finish. I have had experience with a couple of Architects and Carl was a cut above them. Not only did he listen and work closely with us to get the design right; it was the little details in which he made the difference. Carl always had time for us. He always picked up the phone and answered every email. This is where others differed; they never seemed to have the time. We paid for Carl to manage the project and he was brilliant, he managed the builder well and was always on hand to be the 'middle man' whenever there was a slight issue. Cannot recommend highly enough. We will use him again the coming years for other projects.

A & M carried out design and project management of the highest order taking into consideration our requirements to the letter. The result is a very fine dwelling. Attention to detail and assurance of the work being supervised gave us total confidence. The building was built to exacting Eco standards which have proved to be very efficient A & M’s time on site was considerable and has proved to be worthwhile.

Karl was very professional helped us turn our vision into a beautiful home ,

We're so pleased we appointed Carl, we have ended up with exactly the home we wanted. Professional, approachable and unflappable, Carl was organised and helped us at every stage and built a good relationship with our builder.

Carl provided architectural and project management services for a large project converting a small three bedroom rundown house into a five bedroom family home. There were many challenging aspects to this project with the planning process being particularly difficult, Carl’s professionalism and expertise guided us through a very stressful time. We are thrilled with the results and would highly recommend Architecture and More.

We’ve really enjoyed working with Carl at Architecture and More. Carl helped us to turn some initial drawings into a workable scheme that has exceeded our expectations. The project comprised of a single storey extension to the rear of our house, removal of internal walls downstairs, and a double storey extension to the side. Carl was fundamental in helping us explore building design ideas, and kept us honest around our expectations throughout the build. A true independent voice in what was a large, and sometimes emotive project. I would highly recommend Carl as both Architect and Project Manager.

Carl created the drawings for our extension and renovation work and fully project managed the work from start to finish. I found Carl to be extremely helpful and he understood the complexity of elements of the job. He liased with the construction company ensuring that the work was carried as to the specification he had prescribed and followed up swiftly any queries I had. I would recommend Carl to anyone looking for an excellent architect to create drawings that take into account the clients needs as well as being able to suggest ideas that will enhance the project.

Good project knowledge and professionalism Provided a good liaison between client and builder in capacity as project manager Quick to address and achieve resolution to any issues Comprehensive, quality drawings and documentation provided throughout the project Kept on track with budgets.

We were extremely satisfied with Carl's professional and sensitive approach to our building plans. All work was carried out meticulously and we cannot recommend Architecture and More highly enough. Would definitely use Carl's company again in the future.

We had previously tried (unsuccessfully) to sell our house to gain a 5th bedroom and more downstairs space for a growing family. Carl came on board and offered us various solutions at the drawing stage. We ended up extending our house in all directions!! We went above our single storey double garage to create a 5th bedroom, above our single storey lounge to create a master suite, a full extensions across the back of the house to create a kitchen with dining and snug area with log burner and a separate snug for our girls. Plus our lounge doubled in size. It was very chaotic but that's what you expect when you renovate. Carl's drawings were spot on as was his attention to detail and the planning process went very smoothly. Nothing was too much trouble. I was on site everyday managing the build with our builder but Carl was always available for consultation at anytime if he was needed. Our builder dealt directly with us on budgets and deadlines (as our family business is in the building trade) but we were very happy with the service Carl offered and would have no hesitation in recommending him to others.

I engaged Carl Turner as my Architect/Project Manager for the conversion of the redundant Ulrome Chapel into a four bedroom home for myself. This involved design,obtaining the necessary planning permission,tendering for the build and fully managing the project including satisfying the Building Inspectorate Carl had the vision,in consultation with me for my requirements to produce a stunning design. He steered us through the planning process and the tendering process delivered an award winning local builder at a competitive cost My new home has attracted numerous compliments and will be put forward for the appropriate awards.This is due to my good fortune in having had a top class Architect and Builder I would unreservedly recommend Carl who as well as being very talented and professional is a thoroughly nice guy and a joy to work with
