Sustainable Design Professionals in Takeley, Essex

“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.”

“Great service from Mark, i would highly recommend anyone considering getting professional drawings for your house extensions to use Marlin Designs, not only did they delivered on time but on budget, Mark was always on the other end of the telephone to answer any queries you may have. I found Mark to be very professional and easy to work with throughout the process, I would definitely recommend his services to anyone.”

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

“We employed Christine Peever to provide us with architectural services to renovate a 4 storey property dating back to 1912. The property was in a very poor state and we had no experience of such a project. Christine was an excellent listener to our needs and I felt she understood our strengths and weaknesses as her clients and adapted herself to us both as individuals to create our vision. Her note taking was faultless and she carried out all changes with exactness and efficiency, of which there were many! We also have to thank her for her endless patience during the decision making processes. She pushed us hard to make as many decisions as possible before going out to tender and this has inevitably assisted us with keeping our budget under control. We look forward to welcoming her back to the property shortly so that she can see what she helped us to create.”

“Danny at DS Designs was absolutely excellent throughout the project. They helped us transform our semi detached home with a rear extension. Throughout the project Danny was extremely attentive, always available to discuss and would always take time with us. His eye for detail and fantastic talent were the reasons we chose DS Designs and we were so thankful we did. Throughout the project they were extremely practical and made sure every decision was for our benefit. They were amazing at helping us with the project and highlight things that would be important for us as a family. We cannot recommended DS Design highly enough. Danny has subsequently completed a number of other projects for our family and friends.”

“I hired Detailed-Planning to produce plans for an extension involving creating a kitchen diner and a larger bedroom. From the beginning they were very professional and had very good ideas to compliment my own ideas. They took care of all the legalities and recommended builders etc. I was taken to see a previous project which is very unusual but extremely helpful. They have been exemplary in answering any questions and even met with my neighbours addressing their concerns and allaying any fears they had. The company have visited on a number of occasions to check on progress and took photographs on a regular basis. I have recommended them to others as I found their attitude to be very professional but also very human!”

“We had a great experience working with Isaak and the team at Method Studio. They were very keen to understand our thought process and what we wanted to achieve, and were creative with the design, coming up with many great ideas. In addition, Isaak was very helpful from a technical and operational perspective – providing sound advice and guiding us through the planning, building regs and tendering process. A great result that we are very happy with!”

“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.”

“Janet from Studio Lunet has been working with us for the past 18 months on the interior design of our home renovation and I genuinely couldn’t recommend her more! Her creative use of our space, the detail in the design and the boldness of the end result is way beyond what we could ever have imagined. On top of that she is an absolute joy to work with, no question goes unanswered, budgets are always taken into consideration and she gave us the odd creative push when needed! I think so much of their work that not only would I use them again without hesitation but I have also introduced them to several friends who they are now working with - Thanks Janet!!”

“Yasmin Shariff designed and oversaw the contract for renovation of an old Methodist Chapel in Lincolnshire. The original conversion had divided the chapel into four units. I procured Yasmin's professional help to join two of the units together, making a six-bedroom dwelling with spacious open plan ground floor living. Yasmin listened to my aspirations for the building then produced and modified designs that were contemporary whilst being sympathetic to the heritage of the chapel. She has made the most of natural elements such as light and ventilation. Eye to detail and timescales, coupled with her wide experience, resulted in Yasmin drawing up a stunning design that pushed the boundaries of what I thought was possible. Equally, the project was manageable within budget and now provides a quality of lifestyle and comfort. The thoroughness of her work meant that the build phase of the project went without hitch. I am truly delighted with the finished outcome.”
