Basement Conversion Professionals in Everton, Hampshire

“We hired Nick and Paul at Raylian to lead a tricky 550 m2 office conversion into residential space in a prime location central Chiswick. Along with the practice personal creative skills I was very impressed by their technical know how. The teams knowledge of building regulations, local authority planning requirements and technical building skills saved me a substantial amount in architects fees and it was comforting to experience their confidence when addressing the builders and trades and the respect they attracted. The creative design planning stage and specification for finishes and furnishings was professional and stress free. It was great to have a designer sketch their ideas while explaining their thoughts. Discussing ideas in 3D is a real advantage. Given the licence to express themselves they came up with some really great ideas. Project management was equally important, especially with all the H&S requirements attached to the industry these days. I also felt once the budget was approved they made a good effort to protect it right through to completion. Raylian are a one stop shop for any size of residential project and I am happy to give them a 5 star review. AW. Chiswick.”

“SRA managed the entire project (conversion of commercial premises into apartments) from concept, through design, planning and project management.”

“dwell design began working for us on the extension and refurbishment of our new home after the plan drawing company we had initially been recommended totally let us down. By comparison Anthony and the team were thorough, interested, passionate and knowledgeable with much appreciated attention to detail. I felt that Anthony took the time to understand what it was that we were looking for in our home and tailored the plans to suit what we really needed, coming up with a design that worked for us. The final result is all we had hoped for and more and would not have happened without all the hard work from the dwell team. They have all been a pleasure to work with.”

“We used this company to help us remodel a tired 1930's house with lots of small dark rooms into a stunning bright and airy modern home. Their vision was fantastic adding a full height front extension to bring the stairs out of the central footprint, creating extra space and bringing light to the previously dark front spaces. This created a full height entrance hall and helped give us two extra rooms in a previously small attic space. Internally they tied all the spaces together with clever design features giving us a house where every space is used and the house is quite literally a joy to live in! They persuaded us to invest in making the external envelope as air tight and well insulated as possible and fit an MVHR system. Initially we were very sceptical but are now delighted with the thermal performance of the house both in summer and winter. They were thoroughly professional throughout dealing positively and practically with the inevitable challenges along the way. Our contractor had never done anything like this before and they supported him technically when necessary. Their clever design and attention to detail added significantly to the value of the finished property and we could never have achieved this on our own.”

“Edge came up with a great idea for my kitchen extension. I would not have considered this particular design but we were delighted with the outcome. I was reassured by the professional advice but also consulted about all the options along the way. The project was well managed and I would recommend their services to others.”

“I’ve worked with this company a few times now and have been thrilled with all aspects of our dealings. We have had both basement conversion plans done (with building regs all sorted for us etc) and have had a ground floor extension planned, built and supported by the team. We’ve been so happy with the results of our extension and the space really has maximised our space and transformed our home. We found Spencer brilliant to work with. He’s always gotten to know exactly what we are looking to achieve and has listened to my crazy ideas, but then always come up with a way to achieve them (or he’s often come up with far better alternatives!) We’ve also had support from the company in the form of party wall representation when there was building work next to our house and this was a great comfort to know there was someone who took time to get to know our house so well and was there to ensure we remained protected throughout the experience. I really would highly recommend to anyone.”

“I have found Nexus Design thoroughly professional & a joy to work with. They have moved our organisation to the next level and we are grateful for their friendly & knowledgable advice and input. Sam has always been approachable and available in any situation. I would highly recommend this company to you.”

“Nathan listened and sought to understand our wishes from the initial meeting and then worked with us to produce a design that fully realised our goals. Our final plans incorporated many of Nathan's innovative eco-friendly suggestions and 3D images which enhanced our original vision. His preparation was very thorough and he produced highly detailed drawings, enabling us to go to builders with confidence. We would highly recommend Ikonografik Design.”

“I would like to say how impressed I was with Jessica at Century Architects, I was nervous about working with an architect, I thought I would get railroaded in a direction I didn't want for our total home renovation. I couldn't have been more wrong, Jess was always aware of my budget and even though she made suggestions that I hadn't thought of, they were not too extravagant for us, she had vast knowledge of eco friendly options and we are so glad we took her suggestion on board. We now have a home that suits us, which we would not have achieved by ourselves, the work came within budget and we thank our lucky stars we found Jess, she understood our needs and how we wanted to change our space so it worked for our lifestyle. Jess was able to translate this into a stunning home for us. Thank you Jess!”

“The team at Astrid Architects have helped save my sanity over the last 18 months and I would recommend them wholeheartedly. They got involved about 12 months into my project - which was turning a victorian commercial office building in a conservation area into a residential home for myself and my husband, with a small commercial unit attached. The architects I worked with before finding Astrid provided drawings as requested, but left it to me to navigate the complexities of the planning and building control process. Having never done anything like this before - I was completely lost and my stress levels were rising, particularly as the budget kept getting pushed up and up. But from the first planning meeting with Holly, I felt the stress slip away! Holly and Kate guided me through every step of the process and took responsibility for liaising with the planning and building control teams. When issues cropped up (which happened frequently!), they always responded quickly and helpfully to get things resolved. When it came to the plans, they came up with some great ideas to help me make the most of the space and remained cognisant of my budget throughout. I'm really not sure I would have got to the end of this project had it not been for their support, professionalism and attention to detail.”
