Coogan Architects
Eco Home Professionals in Alva, Clackmannanshire
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars19 March 2015
“Coogan Architects have been fantastic throughout the design process and we really couldn't have achieved the space we have without them. Laura has communicated extensively despite our build being split into two phases (second part still to be completed). Her patience and professional advice both in person and over the phone has been astounding over the last two years. We asked for dormers to be added to a semi-detached bungalow and a single story rear extension. The total extended floor space being approx. 72 sq metres. The contemporary and minimal design produced including eternit panelling, zinc and cedar cladding lifts their work away from residential and suburban to magazine chic. The space created upstairs is outstanding and difficult to believe was achieved from the eaves (2 large bedrooms and bathroom). We are eagerly awaiting the downstairs work to start (AGM Contracts, Paisley) in order that we can fully appreciate all the effort that has been put in! I would absolutely recommend Barry and Laura to anyone!”

“Mr Clark was recommended to us by our Builder when we decided that we wanted a large extension built. After meeting with Mr Clark we were happy to employ him as our Architect for our project. He is clearly an experienced Architect and provided us with suggestions and ideas throughout the process of having the plans drawn up. Mr Clark is very approachable and listened very carefully to what we wanted to have included in our extension. He was able to put our thoughts and ideas into the drawings which made us feel part of the process. Any issues with the drawings were very quickly and professionally dealt with by Mr Clark. We were also very grateful to him for overseeing the administration side with the Planning Department and working closely with our Builder and Structural Engineer. He contacted us regularly to give us updates on the drawings and the planning process. We thought that his professional fees were extremely good value and would have no reservation in recommending Mr Clark as an Architect.”

“Claire is a fantastic architect and offered great support from design phase right through to completion. We wanted to extend our kitchen/dining area and had various discussions with her on the options and benefits, taking into account her professional advice. Claire was incredibly patient throughout and shared her insight and expertise. We are absolutely delighted with the final result and with the project management support we received. We found Claire very reliable, extremely personable and would highly recommend her services.”

Thomas Robinson Architects
Eco Home Professionals in Alva, Clackmannanshire
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars7 January 2017
“I hired Thomas Robinson Architects (TRA) to design and project-manage an accessible extension and internal alterations for a residential listed building. The initial design idea was what inspired me to engage them further - it respected the original building but was very much a design element in its own right, being modern and yet classical at the same time. We established a programme of regular meetings throughout the design, planning application and building warrant processes and my thoughts and ideas were worked in wherever possible. TRA oversaw the tender process and appointment of a contractor and established monthly site meetings throughout the contract. Careful minuting of the meetings allowed issues to be followed through from month to month. Any issues with the contractor were dealt with timeously and there was a detailed approach to final snagging to ensure good quality finishes. Importantly the budget was very well managed, with some items being altered or removed to ensure it wasn't exceeded and this was done without detriment to the overall project. I felt confident in TRA to protect my interests throughout the project which dissipated any potential stressful situations. The finished house extension and alterations have exceeded all of my expectations - the internal space and views out are equally as impressive as the exterior. As a very satisfied client, I would have no hesitation in recommending TRA as a talented, attentive and highly professional company and would use them again if the situation arose.”

“I have used the services of MDM over a number of different build and Planning projects during the last 15 years. I am extremely grateful to Neil and Craig for the excellent service and high quality architectural work they have produced on each occasion. I recommend MDM to others with confidence and I will continue to utilise their services.”
Urban Creatures
Eco Home Professionals in Alva, Clackmannanshire
Average rating: 4 out of 5 stars5 February 2015
“We selected Martin and Louise from Urban Creatures to design and manage the build of our house because we liked their portfolio and found that they understood our brief. As a result, the design process of the house did not take long and they provided many good ideas. Obtaining planning permission for our house was quite problematic, but Urban Creatures were very professional in dealing with the planning department. Despite them working to our budget, the quotes from the builders were at least 1/3 above our budget, which led to some changes and omissions. But at least that saved us from a lot of nasty surprises once the building work started. Urban Creatures supervised the whole building process and we had fortnightly meetings with both Urban Creatures and the builder to discuss progress and issues. Again, this was done in a very professional manner. Overall, we are very happy with the service provided by Urban Creatures. We would recommend them to others and would not hesitate to use them again.”
