Bristol Architectural Drawings Professionals

“DHV Architects have designed a single storey rear extension, double storey side extension and internal remodelling to a 1930s semi-detached property. The design marries design and function, and is well considered for the sloping site. Communication has been excellent and the fees very reasonable.”

“3bd's unconventional roof design saved us £000's in construction costs and created a much larger room than we could have expected with traditional building techniques. Our builders had no problems understanding the drawings and as a result everything went smoothly Professional, approachable and exceeded my expectations - Would definitely recommend.”

“We went to Robin for some ideas how we could transform our 1970's bungalow. We gave Robin a fairly open brief but with some specific requirements and a reasonably tight budget. robin was able to incorporate our ideas into a fantastic design that we wouldn't have come up with ourselves. We were impressed that he took our budget into account and we couldn't be more pleased with the results.”

“In an industry that can be tricky for consumers to navigate, Lawrence Services are a breath of fresh air. Recommended to us by a friend, they offered exactly what we had been looking for - a full-service contractor that can provide initial design support, project management and full building services, and at a reasonable cost. My partner and I are self-employed, and we're very busy people. Our time is valuable to us, and so when we renovated our kitchen we needed a contractor that would listen to what we wanted, assist us with the design, ironing out the practicalities and problem solving, and then take care of everything from start to finish. Lawrence Services provided all of this and more. Our Project Manager, Blaine Lawrence, was superb. Always quick to respond to emails, texts and calls, he is incredibly switched on, offering 3D visualisations of proposed works and contributing great ideas and innovative solutions to problems throughout the entire project. Having a project manager who has worked his way up through the trade is invaluable - he could do most of the work himself which gives him great insight in managing his team of tradesmen. I would sometimes finish work late, and fire off a few questions to Blaine via email before going to bed, expecting a reply in the morning - to my surprise he'd often reply within minutes, and was always on hand to keep us informed. Our kitchen design was a little unconventional, involving a lot of custom built elements. Lawrence Services not only took on board exactly what we wanted, but regularly contributed ideas that fit perfectly with our minimalist industrial design. What impressed us most was the attention to detail - they spotted and improved so many elements that we wouldn't have even noticed, all in the interest of doing the job properly. They covered everything, from demolishing an old lean-to conservatory and replacing it with a bespoke double glazed system, to replacing the floor, rewiring the electrics, plumbing, tiling, plastering, modernising the 80 year old drainage system for the whole house, heavily customising and fitting an Ikea kitchen to suit our design, built custom shelving and furniture, built rustic wood panelling for one of the walls, built a custom lighting rig for the conservatory... there's too much to mention. We later hired Lawrence Services to modernise our bathroom, replacing our boiler in the process. Again, they excelled in realising our modern, bespoke design. They suggested a clever move of the boiler that allowed us to add a shower cubicle to the room - something we wouldn't have thought possible given the limited space. The design was such that the room somehow ended up looking bigger than before! The security of knowing that we could leave them to it, taking care of everything and keeping us well informed, was absolutely invaluable. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Lawrence Services, both for smaller jobs such as built-in wardrobes, all the way up to a complete house build from start to finish.”

“We worked with Richard in 2016 and 2017 to design and support the build of a modern extension to our detached Victorian property and we've got a great result to live in. It's large, whilst modern it picks up themes from the original house and it lets in huge amounts of light, giving our family a desirable focal point. Richard was courteous & professional with a nice balance between creativity and detail. He was always willing to try and understand and develop our thoughts and ideas which made us feel part of the project and made the end result feel like something we had had a significant role in creating”

“Fantastic, professional service. Very helpful and responsive. We hired Cryer & Coe for the design of our loft room and are very happy with the outcome.”

“Tonic Architecture have provided us with full architect and interior design services for the renovation of a Grade I listed Manor House and adjoining estate. The whole team is extremely committed, professional and friendly and are a great addition to any project. They are just as comfortable providing advice on the renovation of 15th century fabric as they are on suggesting modern and innovative design solutions. They have been key to the success of our current project and we look forward to working with them on future projects.”

“We asked Simon to help us re-design a 1960's bungalow which was dated and needed re-modelling. Planning was difficult as it was in Green Belt and would not give us the increase in size we required. Simon advised us to go down the Permitted Development route which increased the bungalow from 1300 to 3200 square feet. His design was creative, modern and introduced some wonderful innovative features. He was patient, understanding and sympathetic to our requirements and we now have the most wonderful family home which has exceeded our expectations. We cannot recommend him highly enough!!”

“Martin took our run-down, dark and damp, turn of the century house and transformed it into a light and contemporary home. He struck the perfect balance between modern and traditional and made the whole house so much more usable and practical. He maximised the south-facing aspect with a new kitchen-diner with lots of light and made the garden feel part of the house. He transformed a pokey roof space with higher ceilings, light tubes and velux windows. Without the 'before' photos, it's difficult to believe that such a transformation could be possible. Martin designed and managed the entire project and successfully mediated between us and the main contractors when we didn't see eye to eye. We definitely won't shop around for an architect when we undertake our next project, we'll just talk to Martin.”

“Mark is a very talented and professional architect who understood our requirements and was speedy and efficient in providing us with listed building consent. We're delighted with the design outcome and more than happy to recommend him.”
