“Can’t recommend Ben and Practical Planning Company enough. Nothing was every too much trouble and he went over and beyond for us. So professional, so friendly and the smoothest process ever. Ben is clearly very passionate about his work and we thoroughly enjoyed working with him.”

“Having worked with Joe to develop the branding and website for ‘Place for Humans’, I gathered an in-depth understanding of how Joe works and his ethos behind his practice. One of the first things that is clear when you meet Joe is his focus on people. He makes it his mission to really understand his clients needs, so he can find real solutions to their underlying problems. He has drive, great vision and a genuine want to help people. I would highly recommend Joe & Place for Humans to help find unique answers that are suited to real lives.”

“They provide a very personal service. Very keen on the detail and excellent knowledge of the planning application process and how to obtain the best results. My applications for an extension and new build were successful thanks to their expertise despite many local objections. Overall an excellent result. Very satisfied.”

“We employed GRT Architecture on the recommendation of some friends. Joe did an excellent job providing a plan with a very workable solution to a complex space issue in an old stone cottage. We ended up with exactly what we wanted both aesthetically and practically providing us with more usable space than we thought possible. Joe was extremely helpful, sympathic to our wishes and the character of the building and the job was done in a timely manner.”

“I appointed Julie Richards in January 2016 to carry out a complete refurbishment of the two bedroom 'Warner' style maisonette I own and rent out in Leyton, London. It was agreed the works should be completed by April at the latest, and this was achieved. The property had fallen into considerable disrepair during a lengthy tenancy of almost a decade, only fetching a low rent that reflected this state of affairs. In January 2016 the existing tenant moved out and I took this opportunity to bring the place into line with average rental prices for the area, which valuations indicated had risen a great deal since my original investment. Within a strict budget of 25k Julie's brief was, therefore, to strip the place out entirely and build it back up to a standard that would guarantee the financial return necessary to recoup the expense, whilst providing enduring value going forward. It was a given that the kitchen and bathroom would have to be completely replaced. Julie's choices were tasteful, economical and above all - with limited space - practical. All the existing decor had become too tired to be restored effectively, so Julie also designed and oversaw a complete redecoration. Of course scratching the surface brought ever greater issues: large areas of plastering coming away, and the apparent obsolescence of the electrical circuitry and aspects of the plumbing amongst them. She coped admirably with all of these things as they arose. She also showed an appreciative touch with some of the more 'period' features such as sash windows, sliding doors and wooden floorboards stripped, sanded and varnished to remarkable effect. (We never did get round to rehabilitating the bricked in hearth due to the narrow budgetary restraints, but the will was there!) The lighting design was also improved, adding to the overall feeling that my property had been transformed beyond recognition. Julie managed to incorporate these things into her scheme of work without - as I greatly feared - allowing timescale and budget to spiral out of control. She negotiated with a wide range of tradespeople directly herself, many of whom were her existing contacts. This was all a great relief to myself, having never embarked on a project of this scale before. I hope this helps, please don't hesitate to contact me if you wish to discuss anything further.”

“Tracy is a competent, experienced professional who took the time to understand what we wanted and offered a flexibility in approach that was refreshing. She provided a detailed, fully costed staged plan allowing us to select the level of continued involvement which best suited our project and chosen builder. The finished house Is a delight.”

“Brilliant! Lang Architecture provided a well thought out design for our property and really listened, I mean really listened, to what we were trying to achieve. Professional, innovative and a joy to deal with throughout the process. I can’t recommend them highly enough.”
