House Extension Professionals in Cowdenbeath, Fife

“Headed by Magda herself, with work executed by her team of skilled experts, Magda Interiors has successfully helped transform our house, fast! We began nervously with a lot of head scratching and wondering what to do with our Victorian property, knowing that we wanted to lift and lighten it whilst giving a respectful nod its age. We needed light, good storage and comfort with a warm aesthetic welcome. Magda’s architectural design drawings for our built in items which included drawing room book cases, fabulous wardrobes, a beautiful hallway and brand new period style kitchen with an Aga at its heart, (not to mention a new but period downstairs loo!) were meticulous. We achieved our desired result through continuous dialogue until we were comfortable and she knew it was feasible. Magda’s team capability includes superb joinery/cabinet making, electrics and plumbing, and if you haven’t got your own, decorating. Magda sparks off ideas then listens. She measures, and discusses options. Then you modify and meet in the middle. It’s that simple! We are very grateful to Magda for all her assistance and highly recommend Magda Interiors for your refurbishment projects.”

“Andrew Megginson Architecture have provided me with professional Architectural services for my house extension, renovation and refurbishment project - the development of a 2 bed bungalow into a 5 bed bungalow! From my initial meeting with Andrew, through design development, achieving Planning Permission and now Building Warrant Approval, Andrew has been superb. He has a friendly, knowledgeable, pro-active approach and has suggested alternative designs and material choices along the way, making the final design a cost-effective, efficient and overall great looking design. Possible design consultants for Structural, Mechanical & Electrical design were also suggested, but without pressure to employ any of them. All of my design aspirations have been incorporated, and it has been a real pleasure to work with Andrew during the design phase. Andrew Megginson Architecture are just a phone call or e-mail away, and have always responded timeously to my many questions - Andrew even responding when he was away on holiday! Andrew has suggested possible build contractors and provided answers to my cost, programme and construction questions. I now embark on the construction phase of my project and look forward to continuing to having Andrew by my side during this phase to guide me through and to continue to offer his expert advice and support. Thank you, Andrew.”

“This is a long reviews, because we are so impressed with Richard and the RKA team. In short, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them - we already have to a number of friends! For the longer answer, see below. I found RKA via Houzz professional listings. The photos of a recently renovated house nearby that I’d been admiring caught my eye. Richard contacted me promptly and we immediately struck up a great rapport. We were looking to extend our 1970s bungalow to create another living space and two further bedrooms for visitors. We have loved having Richard on board as we try to design this as a contemporary family home. At the start of the design process Friday evenings became something to look forward to (even more) as Richard would regularly share updated and revised ideas at this time to let us get excited about and mull over during the weekend. Richard brought so many different, distinctive and enticing ideas to the table, soaking up our hairbrain ideas and distilling them into a number of workable solutions. Having listened carefully to our brief from the outset, he has responded to our comments throughout and challenged us to push ourselves to think differently too. We thoroughly enjoyed the design process and have now settled on a design for a beautifully elegant and striking home. Without Richard on our side we would never have come up with anything as incredible as we have. There have been bumps and rethinks along the way, but we’ve always felt very supported by all the team at RKA. When we needed to downscale, due to budget restrictions, the team responded so positively, and quickly redesigned a more affordable scheme whilst still keeping the essence of the design we’d fallen in love with. This supportive and proactive approach certainly helped me to enjoy the process again after feeling quite down-heartened. We had to go through planning, via the local council planning committee. Again, the RKA team went above and beyond to liaise with the planning officer and respond quickly and efficiently to deal with objections and suggestions. Everything was addressed promptly due to the very tight schedule set by the council deadlines and Richard was on the phone the moment the online meeting made its decision. Luckily an acceptance! Throughout the process the RKA team have consistently produced professional, clear and stylish presentations to showcase their ideas, kept to every deadline, been flexible to our needs and kept us on track when things got tricky. They have recommended local professionals to support our project, who have all been assets to the process. We are now waiting on tenders being returned by builders using the comprehensive tender pack put together by RKA. If budget allows, we would love to have RKA remain part of the process until completion.”
