“We used George and Maria to design our single storey rear extension. They were great from the start, offering fantastic ideas and advice. We were really struggling to visualise our spaces however their methods of presentation and clear explanations were really helpful throughout the process. Thank you so much guys, we wish you all the best luck for the future!”

“We wished to extend our house but it is a very unusual shape. We were looking for an Architect who could come up with a design for a 2 storey extension that maintained the character of the house but provided us with more usable living space. We chose Adapt because their initial design concept fulfilled all our requirements yet remained within our suggested budget. Although construction is not yet complete, our neighbours have commented on how much better the house looks. We are pleased at how much more space we will have when the work is complete and how the house will be far more suitable for us as we get older. Alan talked us through the whole process of Planning & Building Control approval & kept us fully informed during these processes. Additionally, he recommended suitable structural engineers and surveyors to assist us, and sent out tender documents to the various builders who were quoting for the work. Altogether, we were provided with an excellent service and would recommend this company without hesitation. We would recommend t”

“We hired Sam to help us renovate a very lovely but rundown Victorian home just by the Brighton sea front. It was in desperate need of repairs and was also our first home. Sam and his team are very accommodating to our wants and needs for the home which will double as both a family home and workspace as well 2 holiday lets. It's been a very long and large-scale project and we are very satisfied. Would recommend.”

“My wife and I looked on mybuilder.com to find a builder for our house renovation. Valter was very impressive on his initial visit with some exciting ideas for the house improvements and we had no hesitation in choosing Happy Building above the other two building firms who quoted. This was the deciding factor even though the other firms' quotes came in at a lower price. It quickly became clear that Happy Building are also very experienced design consultants and they spent a long time with us working on the detail, look and feel of how the house would look after the renovation. Detailed plans in CAD enabled us to evaluate the options which was a huge help for a pair of non-creatives Having signed off on the budget and scope of work, Valter's team of builders arrived. We were hugely impressed with the skill, experience and work ethic of the team; the fact that they arrived early each morning smiling underlined the "Happy Building" epithet; Jarek, the site foreman, had an especially cheery demeanour. We continued to live in the house during the two month project and the team were happy to work around us. The work involved stripping the walls back to bricks, removing walls, reinforcing foundations, plastering, extending the bathroom and removing one bedroom to create a large ensuite bedroom. The latter certainly would not have been done without Valter's vision and patience in explaining how it would look. We were kept informed at each stage of the process and consulted on any important decision which was most welcome and made us feel part of the project management process. We were able to deviate from the original plans without any problem which was very important in achieving the final look which we had desired. Valter was very careful in sticking to time and budgets which I had never experienced before with builders. We felt like we were working with a team that wanted to create the best look and feel possible and took genuine pride in their work and output rather than treating us as another project to be finished within an arbitratry timeframe which suited the firm. The kitchen, bathroom, two bedrooms, living room and hallways were finished to the highest possible specification within our budget. There were one or two small features which, with hindsight, we would have improved such as door handles and shower fittings, however this was down to us not specifying exactly what we wanted. These are very minor details and a tiny part of the overall picture. In summary we are exceptionally pleased with the work Valter, Jarek and the team did and would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending them; indeed we are recommending them to ourselves for a follow-up project of upgrading our conservatory next spring! At the end of the project we were given some "Happy Building" mugs which say, "You Dream it. We build it." For us a more appropriate summary would be, "You and us dream it. We build it.". We are very satisfied customers and would be more than happy to have anyone in our area considering home improvements or renovations come over to our house and look at Happy Building's work.”

“Excellent customer service and always ready to visit or contact by phone foe every query we had. Gave us great ideas and how to maximize our space yet keeping within a tight budget. Darryl Shear is easy to talk to and made our whole experience comfortable and positive”

“Great ideas for complete modernisation and renovation of our 5 bedroom home. Architect and builder worked very well together to get any issues solved quickly. Love our new lighter, brighter and more open home.”

“Thank heavens for Julie Bliss! I was wondering where on earth to start with the complete refurb of my new (to me) 1950s bungalow and making a horrible but huge garage into a fabulous studio. Julie came to my rescue, worked out what to put where and came up with lots of marvellous ideas for the whole project. She was unstintingly helpful throughout, saw everything through planning and was always on hand for advice and guidance throughout the project. I would not have the marvellous home and studio that I now have were it not for her. We had a laugh as well. I really really recommend her.”

“Highly recommend Beckmann Architecture. They did a great job for us, liaising closely with us to produce clear, practical plans that were approved first time. The build went smoothly, keeping to budget and timescale.”
