Custom Build Home Professionals in Dishforth, North Yorkshire

“We are remodelling and designing building extensions to a house, EDG came up with superb designs we would never have come up with ourselves which are excellent, they have created the plans and done the planning application in a first rate professional manner, they have provided excellent advice and are always available to discuss and give advice, they are really pleasant people to deal with and carried out the task swiftly professionally and at a reasonable price, I would thoroughly recommend them”

“We met a few architects and Adrian was the one we warmed to the most. We hit a number of objections with the planners but 6 amended drawings later and Adrian’s patience we got planning permission. Our development is just coming to an end and we are delighted with the results. Now for the hard work, decorating choosing furnishings etc! We would highly recommend Adrian to help with anyone’s project.”

“We’ve done an extension and whole house refurb with Mass. Charlotte was a pleasure to work with and combines a solid practicality with design flair. Their knowledge of the market was invaluable when we went to tender as was key to us getting a builder who was reliable, capable and trustworthy. We are delighted with the outcome and would recommend Mass anytime.”

“We cannot speak highly enough of Nick and his team. Nick took time to get to know us and our property to ensure the designs created we’re just right for us and our home. He listened to what we wanted (rather than impose his ideas) and then offered different options to develop our idea, based on his experience and skills. The cost estimate was transparent and exactly as expected, as was the project plan presented at the outset. Most importantly, however, when communicating to us any objections raised by the planning office, Nick and his team had already devised a solution with which planning (with whom they obviously have good relations) were satisfied meaning that, despite a number of hurdles, the process was hassle free from our perspective. As I say, extremely impressed and highly recommended.”

“Really happy with the service provided by Massive Architecture. They made the process really easy for us, listened to what we wanted and created beautiful, functional spaces. Guy provided a brilliant and professional service from start to finish. He listened to what we wanted and came up with some excellent ideas. We will very happily use MA again for future projects.”

“I am writing to highly recommend Will of Will Slack Architecture and Design for the work he does in designing property. Having photographed an exclusive stunning property near York for Will I can honestly say his designs are creative and unique with a fabulous use of space creating a ‘wow’ factor with great curb appeal. The attention to detail he has in his design work is evident to see with some well thought out touches. The results are a fabulous calming living space. In a time when people are spending money on their own property in preference to moving house it is imperative that you use a dedicated and highly respectable qualified architect with innovative design skills and ideas to help you create something that is functional, practical, yet stunning in its design. Will has the creativity to design something that will make your property stand out, take your breath away, allowing you to have the aspirational lifestyle you want.”

“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.”

“JKT supplied architectural drawings and submitted the planning application for our single storey extension. Prior to submission, we worked with John to design our extension. John provided innovative ideas and concepts that we have implemented into our design. John’s continued support has helped make our dream a reality, thank you! We look forward to working with JKT Architecture throughout the rest of this project and highly recommend JKT to anyone looking for architectural services.”

“Tim and Mark were both involved in our development of a former Chapel into a holiday cottage. We found them to be excellent in dealing with the planning process and coming up with constructive solutions to some of the problems we faced from the planners in converting a non residential building. It was great to be able to leave that part of the process in their capable hands. They had a good grasp of our objectives in their design, and were willing to work with our builder to ensure we were happy with the final build. They were also approachable yet professional in their dealings with everyone involved. We would not hesitate to recommend them.”

“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.”
