Berkshire Site Planning Professionals

“I engaged Chris to draw up plans for a house extension and garage conversion into an office and shed. I was extremely impressed with Chris's attitude and professionalism throughout the whole process. He kept me informed of his work, advised me where necessary and came to see me at regular intervals to review the design and ensure I understood all aspects of the work clearly. Chris's knowledge through the planning process was invaluable and helped get this approved effortlessly. His detailed and thorough plans and drawings meant that the builders (a number of whom Chris recommended) could price up this work in an accurate manner and provide detailed timelines for the project. Which as a project manager myself was great to see! There is absolutely no doubt I would use Chris again for any other projects and have happily recommended him to friends and family.”

“An excellent finish to my bathroom. A few structural problems occurred due to bad workmanship in the past, but all the problems were sorted out at little extra cost to me. All work was completed on time and all the workers were very punctual, tidy and trustworthy. Would recommend the company to anyone who wants a good job done for a reasonable price.”

“Absolute Architecture was a joy to work with. Kate Cooper and her team worked with a tiny, decrepit home, large garden and stables from 1908 and turned the property into a show piece. They were sympathetic to the original design and area while making the home user friendly and comfortable for contemporary residents. They were knowledgeable about the many local laws and guidelines and used the best local craftsmen for the renovation and addition, all in a timely, warm manner. We are so proud of our lovely home; it came out truly beautiful. Thank you Kate!”

“We have used this construction company over the last few years and they have done some great work for us - the last job an excellent bathroom. We live in an old house and things not always straight forward. The contractors are always very pleasant and polite. We are confident that a job will be completed and we would never be left with something unfinished. A big bonus is that Pel will always reply to messages.”

“Marius helped us produced drawings for our extension and loft conversion to submit for planning and building regulations, which approval was received for both. He did a fantastic job and gave us a lot of advice. He was also very patient with us while listening to our ever changing requirements. I would highly recommend Marius and would not hesitate to use him again if I ever need a similar work done.”

“Garden Builders have worked with Linsey Evans Garden Design for over 8 years. Linsey is a consummate professional and very well versed in all aspects of garden design, particularly tricky, multi levelled gardens, which many designers often shy away from. From a contractors viewpoint, we welcome the opportunity to tender for Linsey's projects and more often than not, they are interesting, challenging but always well designed projects.”

“I am over the moon with my new garden. It looks like a cutting edge show garden at Chelsea and random neighbours have been dropping by asking for tours. The team at Cool Gardens work really hard and are motivated and enthusiastic, and everyone is very good at what they do. There is an excellent builder and interiors designer working alongside the garden designers and I have ended up with a very contemporary and welcoming home that is the envy of my street.”

“Builders have recently taken out or damaged many of my shrubs and plants. I decided to use this as an opportunity to do something new in the garden and, to this end, I consulted Laara. As I did not have a lot of money to spend, we arranged a short consultation with a single site visit to focus on creating some shape and structure for the garden. Laara helped me to focus my ideas and together we gradually built up a picture of how my garden could look. As she was on site, Laara could easily tell me which of my ideas and wishes were viable and which of them were unrealistic. At the end of the visit, Laara sketched a plan of the garden with all the details that we had talked about and agreed upon. I can now use this plan to make the changes in the garden in stages. Over time, I will be able to create a new and fresh garden without having to do it all in one single expensive overhaul. Laara has a nice light touch. She guided me away from unworkable ideas and took the workable ones and expanded and developed them. She simplified my choices as my mind had become overwhelmed with all the possible options. At the same time, she recognised my desire for change and gave me some good ideas to work with. I would recommend Laars for her ability to understand and interpret client needs.”

“Red Oak is an excellent construction company, they are professional, capable and their build quality is of a very high standard.”

“Karl designs gardens into places of beauty. He has an absolute eye for precision and detail, it’s his passion. His project management and team of professionals know the standards required at the highest level. I would recommend this chap in a heartbeat.”
