Basement Conversion Professionals in York, North Yorkshire

“We highly recommend Greenstone Design for their combination of creative talent and technical skill. They have prepared high quality scheme designs, accurate and detailed technical drawings, and have then gone on to manage the construction phase to a high standard. Greenstone Design have consistently delivered results and have been an invaluable business partner for us - we have no hesitation in recommending them.”

“We initially engaged ParkDesigned (Edward) as a consultant to explore options with our property. Their enthusiasm and design flair turned a dubious ill thought out previous extension into a light filled, modern and very practical place to live. They were able to manage the whole design and planning process which certainly kept stress low. Park also provided us with recommendations re builders which we followed and they also provided management in this aspect as well and although one or two snags occurred during the 9 month project they were dealt with in a professional manner and too our satisfaction I would strongly recommend them - they are currently working on a new project for me and that says it all !”

“Thoroughly recommended. I asked Crescent Architecture & Design to create an office in the garden to improve my space issues when working from home & include some additional space for my hobbies. Very professional in their approach, listened to my requirements carefully and designed a really pleasant, light and spacious office which now gets used on a daily basis. Really love it; with great views of the garden. We have power for heating, LED lighting and home office equipment, plus a resilient high-speed wired data connection back to the house for optimum internet connectivity too (WiFi's just not good enough!). I've seen some of their other projects at the larger end of the scale and all very impressive. If i ever take on a selfbuild in the future it'll be with Crescent Architecture & Design.”

“After being disappointed with the first architect we appointed, we turned to A&M who designed us an amazing garden room extension that we able to use 12-months a year. A&M provided a professional design and build management service that took all the pressure and stress out of the build process, which we valued enormously. We would thoroughly recommend A&M.”

“I can't recommend Richard highly enough. We purchased a large property built in 1836, it needed a lot of work. Richard was brilliant from start to finish. He quickly drew up plans for the entire house which is 3 floors and a cellar. He listened to what we wanted to change and made fantastic suggestions. He made the enquiries we needed to check planning issues with the council. He liaised with our builders on what we wanted. He organised structural engineers to visit, and specialist damp people to look at our cellar. He is always quick to respond and didn't mind when we changed our mind countless times. We are delighted with our beautiful family home. Richard's experience was invaluable and we have used him on a number of other projects relating to our business.”

“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.”

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

“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.”
