Custom Build Home Professionals in Bishops Stortford, Hertfordshire

“Extremely pleased with the service we received from James at New World Designers Ltd. He couldn't have been more helpful, visiting us on numerous occasions to discuss what we wanted, offering ideas and suggestions and saying what was or wasn't possible. He also kept in regular contact throughout the whole process to keep us informed of what was happening. We will definitely be using them again and can't recommend them highly enough.”

“Brosh Architects did an extension and complete home renovation for our semi-detached 3 (now 4) bedroom house in NW London. The level of artistic style, stunning design and bespoke comfort that Lior and his company managed to eke out of our originally very poorly built hovel is just plain incredible - every day since it feels like we've moved into something that would make Grand Designs envious that they didn't follow our project. We now have a spacious, beautiful kitchen as the heart of our home, a gorgeous, tall. full glass-backed extension with spacious roof (without blocking the neighbours right to light) with sunshine entering from all directions, a luxuriously spaced entertainment deck and 2 washrooms that are elegant, comfortable and sumptuous, All aspects were thoroughly thought through and integrated into our plans. Everything about working with Brosh Architects was a delight and a pleasure. The design phase was handled well with a deft balance of structural integrity, architectural vision and, most importantly, our comfort and needs all put together into a very reasonably priced proposal. The company worked with us and helped us through the entire process - the inevitable back and forth with planning (none of it due to Brosh Architect's designs by the way), the on-point selection presented of all the items that elevated the interior and exterior (nothing cheap and cheerful, nothing overpriced - just beautiful, good quality items to complement and enhance the design) and then the ongoing communication and holding-to-task inspection of the work of our chosen contractors and builders, including some inevitable changes where we decided on a few tweaks. It is possible to get architectural firms that ask for a cheaper rate and to get a bog-standard McCube of a house with no inspired design or peace of mind over any aspect of the process or work being done , and it's sometimes possible to be charged several times more than Brosh Architect's rate and still not end up with what you want because you're just another customer with a faceless firm (I've got friends and neighbours who've been through both). Since the architect's fees are relatively small compared to the rest of the work, it's important that you get this choice right (I truly believe Brosh Architects ended up saving us the equivalent of their fees several times over in unwanted and unexpected builders costs with their oversight and contractor inspections). We have gone through this process with absolute peace of mind and we love our house - our friends who saved on these upfront costs haven't had the same experience. The end result is that we have a home that is not just perfectly suited to us, a space who's dimensions just feel right but also a house that is stylish and elegant and has appreciated in value way more than the investment was (as confirmed by several agents we've invited along since).”

“I needed to have my shower rebuilt. Colette came along to my place and after a viewing offered to do some plans. Then I had a better insight on how my wet room would look like. Colette introduced me to 2 builders. They have done a fantastic work and followed Colette suggestions. I have been really impressed by this work and would definitely Colette and her team. I have more more work to be done in my house like some part of my kitchen. I will definitely call this professional team again. Thanks again Colette!”

“We approached JW Design with our brief and an extremely tight deadline which they were able to deliver against. Joe was personable in approach and made sure the design created was based on our needs. He added a lot of value by offering alternative designs and ways of thinking about using the space which we feel would not have been the case with other architects which we approached. This progressive nature and eye for detail went beyond just the plan designs throughout the build as Joe wanted to be involved throughout the project. The return visits and time spent with our builder meant that nothing was missed (and no shortcuts achieved!). We highly recommend, might be more than expensive than your average but the value is there.”

“Great to work with, took our needs and wants on board and came up with a great product. Would use again.”

“Rees+Lee designed my kitchen extension and helped me with the internal design of the kitchen and playroom, helping to maximise space. They were always on hand for advise and I felt they had my best interest at heart. They gave great advise and helped source all of the internal and external design fixtures and fittings. Their advise on aesthetics was brilliant, which helped me make important decisions that I wasn't confident making on my own. My experience with Rees+Lee was great, I would highly recommend this company.”

“Holly has been an absolute gem throughout our journey of planning our flat renovation and loft conversion. From the initial consultation to the final drawings, her support, creativity, and attention to detail have been brilliant. One of the standout qualities of Holly is her ability to listen intently to our ideas and requirements, and then translate them into practical and aesthetically pleasing designs. She took the time to understand our lifestyle, preferences, and budget constraints, ensuring that the drawings were not not just architecturally excellent, but also functional and within our means. Her accessibility and willingness to address our concerns promptly instilled confidence and peace of mind. We wholeheartedly recommend Holly to anyone seeking architectural guidance. Whether it's a small renovation or a large-scale conversion, you can trust her to deliver exceptional results with a personal touch. Thank you, Holly, for making the process so enjoyable.”

“Roc haus helped us from start to finish and we can't thank them enough. They designed our dream family home, liaising with our neighbour to get a large joint application granted, which enabled us to have the 4 bedrooms we required. They also helped me get the structural engineering package in place, completed the party wall process for us, recommended contractors and advised on the contract once we had selected our preferred contractor. It was so helpful and reassuring to have them behind us throughout the whole process to make it as easy as possible.”

“I've worked with Edward Parsley Assocoaites Ltd for many years and have always found them totally professional, great at listening and responding to client briefs with creative and practical advice on a range of building challenges. The value of having multiple professional disciplines (architecture, design and structural engineering) in house can be a real advantage for more complex projects.”

“My wife and I engaged LSD Architects to guide us along the journey of realizing our first building project - a remote office-studio in Croatia. With little more than an old wooden granary, an ancestral hillside, and a dream - Luka, Sam, and Dan got to work. We wanted our "escape hatch" to respect the local building vernacular and traditions while creating an inspiring space to think, work, and rest. The LSD team visited the village with us and patiently explored our ideas in the context of the place. Thoreau remarked, "The question is not what you look at, but what you see." Following our trip, LSD contextualized our ideas to create a design that shattered our expectations of what was possible within our scope, while staying true to local traditions and materials. Beyond the design, the team successfully engaged the local council to gain support and approval for our project. We are thrilled to be working with the LSD team!”
