Fantastic experience from start to finish. Ben was brilliant at understanding what we wanted to achieve with our house renovation and designed a space which was far better than we could have imagined. He liaised with the planning department and recommended contractors which made the process from design to build feel seamless. Excellent fast communication from start to finish. Thankyou Ben. He comes highly recommended.

Ben designed our first floor extension to increase and improve our living area. This comprised a large open plan kitchen, living & dining room, a new entrance room and a gym. Ben's designs were in keeping with existing stone building with great attention to detail.
Ben helped us throughout the process. He was always very professional and was available at any time to help where needed. He has a tremendous amount of experience in this area and is very proactive in his attitude.
Well done Ben, I would highly recommend Edge AD.

We have known Ben for over 10 years but never really had the opportunity or space to utilise his talents. Then we found an "almost" perfect family home in April 2020. My wife & I have seen some of Edge AD's amazing schemes, drawings & physical builds, unfortunately we didn't have as much space as some of those. I even considered not approaching Ben as our space was much smaller, but I picked up the phone. As always, the most positive of people reassured me, he could work his magic. We all know what happened in 2020 so Ben's on-site visit was delayed but he still worked on aerial & streetview pics. When he was able to visit our house, he already had a plan, different to what we thought but maximised the space & saw things we didn't see. He organised the relevant people & dealt with planning, he also had a list of recommended tradespeople which we utilised. Our "almost" perfect house became our perfect home which wouldn't have been the case if the wanna be architects (my wife & I) would have had our way...leave it to the professionals or in this case...Ben. Thank you for everything. PG&KG. ❤

It was clear from the very first contact with Ben that he was a professional and someone we could put our trust in. He came and surveyed our site and chatted through our ideas without obligation or pressure. He is punctual, very friendly and has super ideas. He is conscious of light, flow, design and the kind of nuanced considerations that might trip a build up further down the line. He has been in contact with us throughout our build and assisted us at the snagging stage to make sure everything has been put just so for us. Would recommend him in a heartbeat.

Ben Liddle of Edge AD provided me with excellent advice and support during my recent first-time project to extend a 3 bedroom semi in Sheffield. I am sure this was one of his smallest projects, but that did not prevent him from providing me with a first-class service on the architectural elements and further highly-appreciated advice on how to deal with issues that arose during the renovation.
He has great knowledge and experience, is responsive and approachable, and I would highly recommend working with him. I hope to do so again with further projects.

Like some of the other reviewers, we would highly recommend Ben and his services. We have very high praise for him. He is very professional and knowledgeable. We contacted him as soon as we had an offer accepted on a 5 bedroom property that needed renovation. Ben helped us design a double storey side extension and rear single storey kitchen extension. This was a major project and Ben has steered us through the entire process from design to completion. Ben has a lot of experience and has a lot of contacts in the planning department and building trades. Without his help we would have struggled to find a builder to start our project in the timescale we had. Our project like any other major projects on a similar scale, has had a number of challenges and without Ben’s support and guidance we would have struggled to get it completed in a timely manner. Ben definitely goes the extra mile and is easily accessible. We have no hesitation in recommending him. In fact, our neighbours have been so impressed and inspired with his design of our house extension that they have already contacted him to consider designing their projects.

On our most recent self-build project (demolish a tired old bungalow and build a 5 bedroom house) Ben has yet again done a wonderful job, creativity, ideas, communication and help with implication. His input has been invaluable. We wouldn't use anyone else!

I knew when I met Ben for the first time, that we were on the same wavelength. My dream of
converting a dark and dowdy bungalow in Dronfield to a modern dream home was immediately grasped and he
set to work to achieve my ambition. By removing walls, designing an extension, fitting a utility room in and adding sky lanterns
to the roof space, with large sliding doors to the garden, his expertise and vision were amazing. Once
the lay-out was finalised, he provided stage by stage instructions for the builder, and tradesmen,
sorted out problems, and obtained all relevant permissions. He was available throughout the
conversion to solve any problem. I cannot recommend him enough. I now have a fabulous living
and office space, ready to move into with plenty of room and loads of daylight. Thanks Ben!

We approached Edge to help with the proposed extension to our bungalow that we are planning and after several conversations, it was suggested that a full rebuild option could be the way forward. Ben helped us to explore this, assisting with the technical drawings and dealing with the planning department.
We subsequently received planning consent and have now built our new home. I have no hesitation in recommending Edge for any architectural services. The attention to detail, technical knowledge and practical approach is second to none.
Ben is also a wonderful person to deal with, attentive, approachable and responsive to any queries, at any time.
Thank you for everything.

Ben comes highly recommended! He has designed and project managed our ground floor extension with great skill and enthusiasm.. He works tirelessly and is extremely professional. Ben has an impressive range of contacts who he can draw if need be at every stage.
He is a great problem solver and always tries to help resolve issues with his honest, straight forward manner. Nothing is too much trouble and he has gone above and beyond on several occasions. He responds to texts often within minutes which I have found really refreshing after previous experience of waiting for responses from similar professionals. He usually responds with a cheerful phone call very promptly.
Even when building work got underway Ben was regularly in touch to discuss progress and check if we had any queries. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

Really pleased with the contribution Ben has made to our extension. We weren't originally going to employ an architect as the layout was fairly straight forward, but so glad we did as Ben came up with a few excellent ideas which have made a big difference to our new living space. Thanks Ben!

Ben produced a design for the front of our tired bungalow, bringing it thoroughly up-to-date. We have been taken aback by the number of compliments from passers-by! Ben's standards of communication are excellent, his response prompt and he actively deals with any issues.

Ben has transformed my home into a delightful place. I have to pinch myself when I get up in the morning as the difference is so great. Its lovely! For Ben in the scheme of things my house extension wasn't a big project but it felt a big job to me. Ben totally understood this and put his heart and soul into designing an extension that absolutely made the best of my home and garden. He listened to all my wishes, took on my obsession with light & smashed it...not so easy with a semi-detached house extension & my wishes to future proof my home. He came up with a design that I would never have thought off, had all I wanted and more. Ben has always been there for me and at the end of a phone to help. He appreciated this was my first ever house extension so was nervous & was very supportive. He sourced builders for me to get quotes which was very reassuring. Ben came straight round when we hit a problem in evitable in a build onto an old house and it was all quickly sorted and resolved without spoiling the design. I cant thank Ben enough. I highly recommend him and you can rest assured you will be in safe hands & will get a beautiful, practical design/build that suits your lifestyle and specific needs. Thank you Ben!

Ben did not just design the house of our dreams, but has also been there to support us every step of the way throughout the project.
We wholeheartedly recommend his services!
We found Ben via the Houzz Professionals pages; initially we were drawn to his designs and past projects that showed us similar projects in a style we were looking for. Following our first meeting and receiving Bens quote we signed up straight away. We knew he would be able to create exactly what we were looking for.
We have extended a slightly tricky semi-detached house in Sheffield; complete with wonky floors, strange fireplaces, and intricate stone work. Ben's drawings covered all eventualities, making sure that the finishing details were covered off at the start of the project. These initial drawings, and the following M&E drawings, provided the backbone to the project. This made the building work that followed much easier to monitor and follow.
In addition, the 3D colour visuals gave us a clear expectation of the end results, and have since been looked upon many times throughout the building works to make decisions or alterations.
Ben has also supported us throughout the project, which has been invaluable - his eye for detail has picked out many little quirks along the way which have added to the high quality finish that we were looking for.
We cannot recommend Ben highly enough - thank you for your continued support, care, and attention to detail.

There are not enough stars to sum up what Ben has done for us, not only as an architect, but also as a human, keeping us sane throughout the project. Chances are, he might have not only saved my ambitious house plans from never materialising, but also possibly my marriage and a lot of money I would have otherwise spent on therapy, following all the experience we have had with the building trades over the last 12 months.
He has gone way above and beyond anything we expected. No matter what he quotes, just take it. It will be the best investment in your project because you will be paying for a professional that not only had an exceptional knowledge of the subject, but cares, and there are not may of those around anymore.
We decided to extend 1930 house, which was already substantial, by adding a large open plan ground floor and a first floor extension.
After a brief experience with another architectural firm, who did not listen to anything we said and planned a building that was completely not fit for purpose, I searched for an architect on Google. That's how I came across Ben.
He planned it all, whilst keeping all the traditional features we loved and being really conscientious when it comes to our neighbours. He was always there to suggest tried and tested trades, building inspectors, window companies and more.
We had numerous problems with our building company, and he was there liaising between us and them, to make sure we do not end up burying anyone under the patio in a massive rage.
This guy is gold. He won't leave you till the job is done, keeps in touch PROACTIVELY, cares and is always on the other side of the line, even on holidays and at the weekends. Rumours are he never sleeps.
If I ever decide to build anything again, I will wait for him to be available, no matter how long it takes, because he is one in a million.

We cannot praise Ben highly enough for the amazing design of our ground floor extension. He was also very imaginative and insightful in his advise on improving the aesthetic appearance of the front of our house.
Having searched high and low for an architect Ben came as a recommendation from a structural engineer. From our first meeting it was clear that he was going to be a pleasure to work with. He provided ideas and plans that more than fulfilled our needs combining functionality with an exciting design. He has an outstanding eye for detail and vision supported by a great breadth of experience and knowledge. We found Ben extremely easy to get on with and very approachable and available for advice when we needed him. He is passionate, thorough and conscientious about his work and we would highly recommend him for any building project. Outstanding service.

We are absolutely delighted with the extension to our home, which has given us more space and a fantastic modern design, complementing the existing house. Ben has been brilliant to deal with throughout. He was meticulous in the early design stages and gave us some great ideas to achieve additional elements that we had not considered. Throughout the entire project he has ensured that we knew what to expect and he has always responded rapidly to any queries. Where necessary he has got involved in resolving issues/challenges relating to the build… there have been very few, which is no doubt due to his diligence up front. We also chose builders - Whitshaw (Yorkshire) - on Bens recommendation and again we have been delighted with the standard of their work and with how the entire project has been planned and managed. We have thoroughly enjoyed dealing with them and would not hesitate to recommend them too.
Like most people, we were nervous when considering such a big change to our home but we now have a thoroughly modernised living space that completely exceeds our initial expectations. Ben’s design, diligence and guidance have been exactly what we needed and he has helped to make the whole experience as positive as we could have possibly expected.
We would thoroughly recommend Ben and Edge AD to anybody considering similar work.

We enjoyed working with Ben on our project and are delighted with the final result.
Ben's connections within the trade enabled us to find a builder we were extremely happy with and his relationship with them played an important part in helping us achieve the design and finish we desired.
During the early stages of the build, Ben was present on site regularly to ensure all was going to plan and he was extremely helpful when navigating a difficult issue uncovered by the initial excavations, remaining calm and composed when working with all parties to find a solution.
There are so many little touches that we would not have thought about that have made such a difference to the final outcome, including changes to the internal plans that we made as the build progressed. It was great that Ben was able to visit the site at short notice to help us make those decisions live.
We really appreciated the time Ben spent tinkering with the plans for the bathrooms upstairs, and the porch, WC and utility room downstairs, in order to make the best use of the available space, and we absolutely love the rooflights that Ben incorporated into the design.
Thanks to Ben for all of his hard work, help and advice throughout the project. We are all so happy to be back in our home - it really is the brilliant family home we were hoping for.

Ben was recommended to me by a friend and I am so grateful we engaged Ben on our project. I would say we had a medium sized residential development (loft conversion and also rear and full side extension) His attention to detail and thorough nature are essential for any project if you want it to match the dream you had at outset. He has the natural talent to not only offer up various solutions/options in the actual initial design phase but also help you visualise the practicalities/benefits of each option using his previous experience of similar projects or lifestyles.
Nothing is too much trouble for Ben and he really does go over and above to ensure every last detail is perfect. I felt he handled our entire project with as much care and diligence as if it had been his own property ! He understands the process inside out and has a gentle and very positive and constructive manner that works with and supports all parties on a project.....owner, builder, neighbours etc.
As part of the development having Ben to project manage from start to finish is the best money we could have possibly spent on anything throughout the entire process! I know his ongoing contact with the builder and advice to us along the journey have saved us ten’s of thousands of pounds. Invaluable and so important.
Simply, if you are reading this and are looking at a residential build/redevelopment do not hesitate any further, just contact Ben.
Thanks for everything you have done for us Ben !

Comment from Edge AD:
My pleasure Paul, you have been a great client from the very start, the space appearance and family home that you have now is just fantastic! Thank your for great feedback.
We asked Ben to help us transform our 1960's house soon after we moved in 2 years ago. He made himself available at short notice, even though he is always very busy, and we have been impressed by him throughout. He embraced our desire to improve the 'kerb appeal' (which, to be fair, wasn't hard to do!), maximise the views of the garden and generally bring the house into the 21st century. Ben remained engaged and interested right through the project from initial design, planning, tender and into build. We are grateful for his openness to a moderate re-plan of the internal layout and his involvement during construction phase when necessary. As the project nears completion, we are delighted with the outcome and really appreciate Ben's support and guidance to help us realise our vision.

We have worked with Ben on a large full house renovation and extension which started in January 2019 and will be completed by the end of November. Ben exceeded all our expectations and his involvement has been invaluable. He spent lots of time talking with us to understand what we wanted to achieve in terms of modernising and extending our 1920's house while keeping the 'heart' of the house. He produced plans and designs that achieved this while also creating the perfect modern family home filled with lots of light and all the spaces we requested to suit our family. At our request he has been involved in every stage of the project which again has been invaluable as this was the first major project we have done and our knowledge was very limited. He has a very practical approach and nothing is too much trouble, lots of things changed and evolved during the project and he was always positive and suggested options and solutions for all the requests and challenges. The final result is a unique, perfect family home for us and we would highly recommend Ben.

We carried out a rear side return extension, transforming the ground floor and feel of the house generally. Ben was a great help and a pleasure to work with. Innovative designs and drawings at the outset of the project, consistent support throughout, and over and above assistance when difficulties arose with the contractor.

Loft conversion
Ben was excellent working with us to produce a design for our loft conversion that really worked for us. He spent time understanding our requirements then made suggestions to improve the project, with the result being that we ended up with a more complete design that worked perfectly and surpassed our original expectations of what could be done. Ben has a really keen eye for detail which really suited us and crucially takes time to listen and was willing and able to use our thoughts and ideas to tweak things rather than blindly pushing just his own as the only solution, which again was perfect for us.
We would highly recommend Edge for any size project, the detailed approach is well worth it.

Ben was very helpful and supportive with a building project that turned out to be far lengthier and more complicated than anticipated. This was particularly important to me as I was doing this project by myself. He was trustworthy and I felt he had my best interests at heart. Ben saw the work through to the end even when he could, legitimately, have stepped away. I would not hesitate to recommend this company.

Ben from Edge Ad was very personable, he understood my vision for the property and was able to give relevant advice where needed. The architects drawings were amazing and a great support for the building team. Ben also helped me find other reliable services that he had previously worked with as well as supporting the build team along the way.
Ben was a huge support when we had issues with the water company who struggled to make a decision on the drainage plan, and wanted us to scale back the property to accomodate. Ben got them to agree on a proposal that did not involve scaling back, something that the structual engineer and the builders could not manage.

Ben was helpful through out the whole process and was always contactable. He was super fast at submitting our plans and his local knowledge was invaluable to help us maximise the size of extension we could build. He then helped us with the party wall complications. He continued to be available and helpful through the whole building project and helped us with any issues as they came up. The design of our extension is really what we appreciate most. Many people comment that the layout is superb and the extension looks like it was always supposed to be part of the house, not just boxes shoved on a semi. We love our house and are really pleased that Ben played such a pivotal role in helping us achieve exactly what we wanted.

We were replacing an old conservatory with a new brick built extension, due to the height from the ground we required planning permission.
Edge Ad Ltd were fantastic, they took control of everything from the drawings to planning application through to the finished project. They took any stress and worries away from the project.
We can't rate them highly enough, would definitely recommend and would have no hesitation in using them in the future.

Ben was fantastic in designing the re-model of our house. This included moving most of the walls downstairs and creating a rear extension with major structural work. We have ended up with a space which works perfectly for us as a family and we are ever grateful for Ben’s ideas - and patience when the plans changed many times! The (almost!) finished article looks fantastic - we really have a house to be proud of.

We employed Edge AD Ltd to redesign a 1970's property. Throughout the process they maintained excellent levels communication with us the client and building contractor. During planning they maintained pressure on the planning officer dealing with the application and managed the process very well. From a design perspective they fully considered our taste, style, space requirements and budget, this resulted in a successful redevelopment.

Ben came recommended to us by another satisfied customer. We went with him to see some of his completed projects and liked what we saw. Ben was quickly able to understand how we wanted to extend and transform our 60s house into something stylish and modern. We got just what we wanted and definitely got the wow factor. Job well done

We bought a house that needed remodelling and extending, going into the loft etc.
We were recommended Ben via a friend who has used him in the past. He listened to us, and made some great suggestions too, and guided us through the whole process. We would definitely use him again.

We initially employed Ben from Edge to produce plans for an oak framed conservatory and submit plans to the panning authority. This was done efficiently and accurately, with Ben producing altered plans as required by planning to ensure plans were passed.
During the construction we encountered a major issue with the builder we were using, Ben went the extra mile and found an excellent replacement builder and personality made sure the building was finished correctly to specification.
Without the expertise and perseverance of Ben the project would not have been finished to such a high standard. I would highly recommend Ben at Edge for building projects.

We've been living our new extension for almost 6 months and are very happy with the end result, our worries that, being north facing, it would be too dark or too cold have not materialised. It is very light and with excellent insulation and radiators very snug even when it snowed!
We had firm ideas of how we wanted the extension to look and Ben helped talking us through these giving new ideas and convincing us when we doubted ourselves that it would work. Good 3-D CAD images also helped us visualise the project and give confidence to the process. Ben was on hand whenever we had questions and despite being a very busy person always got back to us. During the build he was happy to attend site and talk through with the builder any details that required clarifying and even making changes 'on the hoof'.
Ben had a good relationship with the excellent builder (J Woodward) any issues that arose were dealt with swiftly & with minimum fuss. Ben also has good knowledge of the planning & building control process which helped ensure all passed with no issues.
The best praise we can give is that the extension 'works' and a previously very underused part of the house is now the place of choice to hang out (even for the resident teenagers).

Ben was fantastic from start to finish for this project. Very efficient dealing with planning and made several site visits during construction
Ben also thinks outside of the box to make the best use of space and factors in our lifestyle and incorporates that into his design

I cannot recommend Edge Ad enough, they were stupendous! Breadth of knowledge, experience, technical ability, contacts in the trade, prompt response, attention to detail, nothing too much trouble...I could go on, but for us the quality that really sets Ben apart is his willingness to listen to the client. With Edge Ad you get what you want, not what somebody thinks you should have.

You definitly get there personal touch from working with Ben at Edge, never to busy to get back to you and always help full with ideas and feed back. We are a small builder and Ben's attention to detail really helped us keep the project on time and budget!!!

We contacted Ben when we first bought the land .
After our first meeting I knew we were on the same wave length and that I could work on the project with him .
He always remained positive, even though throughout the build there were obstacles that were out of our control.
He always worked to find a solution and I must admit throughout the build he was my rock .
I could always turn to Ben at any time if I had a problem and he did his outmost best to resolve any issues .
He worked over and beyond his actual role on the project .
The project ran over by months due to the incompetence of the builders .Ben worked with me till the end of the project , even though he had other projects on the go .
Ben sorted out all the building regs ,drawings and landscaping .
He also dealt with all the planning applications and issues too .
He attended all the meetings with the planners with me too .
He always has time for his clients and he is one of a few people I worked with on the project that wanted to do his best at all times .
We want to thank him for his total commitment throughout the build .
We would never hesitate to recommend Edge Ad for any build project .
He was the best man for the job .
Thanks again

We chose Edge Ad for our project as they came highly recommended. We had a very large conservatory that we were going to just put a roof on. Ben came down and advised us that under permitted development we could transform it into a living room. With their help we have the most amazing, new living room that is built on solid foundations and can be used all year round as opposed to several weeks of the year. Edge projected managed the build from start to finish. Edge dealt with Building Control and the builders. The plans produced by Edge were so detailed that the building firm knew exactly what had to go where and what materials needed to be used. This took a lot of pressure off the builders, Building Control and ourselves. would highly recommend this company. Thank you!

We have worked with Edge AD a few times and found them to be extremely professional. They made the process of design through to planning very easy. They have always achieved what we wanted and nothing was too much trouble.
I would highly recommend them.

We are close to completing the build of our orangery, which was designed by EdgeAD.
We were very pleased with the quality of their work and their professionalism during the planning and design stage and their attention to detail has followed through into the build stage. They have even visited site from time to time to check progress and discuss details with the builder when necessary.
During the design and planning stage EdgeAD controlled all of the necessary forms and paperwork required by the local council and building control etc.
EdgeAD not only produced the necessary drawings at each phase of the planning and design stage but also produced 3D visual images including views of our garden from the inside of the proposed orangery.
They have many useful professional and reliable contacts within the building trades. The glazing supplier for our build was recommended by EdgeAD and we are extremely pleased with the quality of that company.
All in all we cannot fault their service and professionalism and would highly recommend them to anyone requiring a professional architectural design service.

Thank you for your review Ruth, really appreciated and I am so glad that you minimal stress throughout the entire process!
What I like most about Ben is that if you tell him what you are trying to achieve with your project, he will come up with great ideas that you might not have thought about yourself. His creativity and ability to see how a project can be improved upon is what sets him apart. That is why when we came to undertake our second project there was no hesitation in picking the phone up to Ben.

The guys at Edge AD completed the design and technical drawing package for our renovation and room conversion as well as submitting planning and building regulations. They also recommended and liaised with the builder throughout the build.
I would have no hesitation recommending them as their approach was professional and fast. Nothing was too much trouble and every question was answered quickly.
Their ideas were great and we have finished up with a fantastic house as a result.

Thank you Marcus, what a pleasure it was to work with you to achieve your new family home, it was a tight schedule but everything went to plan and now you've got a great house!
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.
