“We moved back into our house at the end of October 2017 after a wonderful experience of having, to us, undertaken a major building project that began with Andrew Long Architects. At our first meeting with the Architect we discussed the primary objectives that we wanted to achieve in the project and looked at other jobs that needed doing building wise in the house and grounds. We rolled everything into the one project. Following on from that first meeting the Architect then came back with his initial ideas which we found very exciting. The site of our house is challenging because it is on a hill and slopes top to bottom and side to side. There are some mature trees on the boundary. These two factors present challenges that were resolved through the structural engineer that the Architect brought in. The site is not rectangular but has some interesting angles on it which the architect related to in his design with the result that the new extension and rebuilt terrace work in harmony with the shape of the site. From our first meeting we were helped and guided every step of the way. At no time did we feel we were being told what we had to have and suggestions were given with regard to different products to consider when deciding on what finishes we would like. This enabled us to go and see the products for ourselves which really helped in the decision process. One of these is a big feature window which is spectacular. During a course of meetings when the design was honed we felt we got to know the Architect and were confident in putting our complete trust in him and the team at Andrew Long Architects to forward the project through planning, finding a contractor to do the work and project manage the build. All of which were done excellently. We are delighted with the results and have no hesitation in recommending Andrew Long Architects.”

“Mr Hutchings designed and project managed our house extension in 2012- 2013. Having no personal experience of such projects we found Mr Hutchings' guidance invaluable. He was approachable, flexible (very happy to work around our children!) and could be contacted easily. Mr Hutchings has considerable knowledge of, and good working relationships with many local builders. This was of assistance in helping us to ensure that our project stayed within budget. Once bulding started there was a pleasant atmosphere on site and any problems were quickly and constructively managed. Mr Hutchings' skill and knowledge made him a very reassuring presence throughout our project.”

“CK did the planning drawings and submitted them to the council for me.”

“We have been fortunate enough to work with Pearce Bottomley Architects on a number of occasions throughout the years. They are a fantastic team to work with, always both friendly and professional. Looking forward to working with them again in the future.”

“I have used PPIY architects on numerous jobs both in my professional career commissioning social housing projects, and more recently post retirement for the expansion of a Quaker Meeting House. Partners and Associates have always taken pains to understand the brief and have produced solutions which are both elegant and practical. Cost control and attention to detail have been excellent and it has been easy to develop a good working relationship with all staff. Post contract attention to contractor defects has been helpful.”

“We let Halliday Clark have full design freedom without aesthetic limitations and the results exceeded expectations. The early concept designs were translated through planning and delivered a really clean, modern entrance porch and contrasting glass and black brick rear extension that transformed the original 1950s bungalow into a family home with level thresholds for wheelchair access directly to our new outdoors spaces.”
