Featured Reviews for Harpenden, Hertfordshire Design and Build Companies

Design Abode
Harpenden, Hertfordshire Design and Build Companies
18 Feb 2019
“The most efficient and friendly staff, highly professional team that can execute your kitchen dreams and desires to an exact specification! The expertise that the team had from the inception with the detailed drawings with great design ideas and 3D visuals created by Sonya, and the level of detail from the installation manager Avtar who was on site during the process and the complete knowledge of every aspect of a kitchen from appliances, accessories, colour schemes and materials and the utilization of space from the directors Ajit and Sukh gave us clear confidence in their work and passion for the job and service provided. They were extremely personable, warm, friendly and charming and a complete joy to have been serviced by. The finished product has been complimented by every guest and is now clearly the highlight of our home. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great quality kitchen with fantastic service to go with it! Our family thank you Design Abode for realising our dream kitchen. One happy customer!”
Cloisters Design Ltd
Harpenden, Hertfordshire Design and Build Companies
10 Apr 2017
“I've been working with Cloisters for many years and have always found them outstanding . The standard of workmanship has always met my expectations and the service has equalled it. I have not found a more knowledgeable company that knows the industry better and would not hesitate to use or recommend them to anyone.”
Kindred Elite
Harpenden, Hertfordshire Design and Build Companies
28 Nov 2018
“It was a pleasure working with Kindred Elite. Scarlette and Stuart compliment each other perfectly. Their creative flair and eye for detail enabled my project to surpass my expectations. A+ service.”
Opun
Harpenden, Hertfordshire Design and Build Companies
11 Oct 2017
“Opun have been a fantastic asset to the Building industry, They bring something entirely new to an industry riddled with mistrust and horror stories of rough builders and customers alike. Their services allow for a hands off Building experience where their skilled and vetted trade partners undertake your project with the added advantage of having a superior team of (trade partner managers) who act as middle agent, in turn taking away the seemingly enivitable miscommunication between client and contractor. They also offer an only portal and management service where the contractor and client are constantly kept in the loop with project progress and payment schedules. So you only pay for what has been approved and completed. To top it off their financial stability has allowed them to offer interest free credit for small-large size domestic projects with a protected warranty service for piece of mind. All in all- a new era reform on the domestic construction industry.! 5 stars for the intuitive technology-construction partnership..”
Defined Builds
Harpenden, Hertfordshire Design and Build Companies
5 Nov 2018
“James did a great job for us in our flat, replacing all the internal doors and installing associated door furniture etc - laying a v. complex parquet floor amazingly well and also levelling the joists underneath as well as installing extra insulation beneath the floor. He also built us two sets of floor to ceiling wardrobes which turned out brilliantly and he also built us alcove units and cupboards in our sitting room. James is great to deal with and his workmanship is top quality. We can't recommend him highly enough and will definitely use him again in the future.”
Callender Howorth Interior & Architectural Design
Harpenden, Hertfordshire Design and Build Companies
15 Dec 2014
“Callender Howorth provided us with a full design and project management service for an extension and full refurb of our maisonette. They liaised with planners, architects, building contractors, kitchen companies and advised on sourcing of materials and interior furnishings. The project took 1 year from conception to completion. The people at CH were creative, professional and importantly a pleasure to work with. I would and have recommended them successfully to friends.”
Robert's 21st Century Design
Harpenden, Hertfordshire Design and Build Companies
20 Apr 2014
“I have used Robert on a number of occasions, in this case it was for the removal of a chimney breast. Robert is well presented, polite, professional and does a good job. He can handle difficult situations (in this case we we had a structural support issue requiring engineering after the start) and does so without the need to complain or charge a fortune for additional works. When minor issues arise after the works have been complete I have never had a problem with him coming back to address them. Frankly given some of the terrible experiences I have had with builders, I have not hesitation recommending Robert as a competent and reputable builder.”
Facit Homes
Harpenden, Hertfordshire Design and Build Companies
23 Sep 2019
“I loved the experience of working with Facit Homes. They created a wonderful home that I could never have imagined by myself, and built it in a very efficient and cost controlled manner. I am delighted with the finished house, and would engage them again if I ever have another opportunity.”
Imogen Jack
Harpenden, Hertfordshire Design and Build Companies
24 Sep 2015
“Matt and his team at Imogen Jack did a fabulous job converting an outdated and unnecessary en suite to my daughters room into a stunning extra bathroom. From the beginning of the process to the end...advice, vision, plans and execution, Matt was fabulous and he's surrounded by a great team. We now have a lovely extra shower/wet room for the whole family to use and it has a really great finish. Thanks Imogen Jack - the Burgess family are very happy customers!”
Plus Rooms
Harpenden, Hertfordshire Design and Build Companies
12 May 2015
“Living through a kitchen extension on a terraced London house isn't fun. We both work full-time and have two children at school so returning at the end of each day to the property once works had commenced could be a little stressful; but PlusRooms protected our downstairs areas, created a temporary kitchen for us and were really considerate of the fact we were living through the works. They project managed the whole thing right from design, costing, adjustments, planning, build scheduling, (prompting us what to buy and when), right through the build - and we couldn't be more delighted with our new space. Living through building works is unpleasant but was made less so with Robbie and James' support and professionalism. We had the odd snagging that needed resolving at the end of the job, which you would always expect, so we are more than happy to recommend PlusRooms and may be using them again next year!”

What is design and build?


A design and build company does pretty much what it says on the tin – designs and builds your home; helping you design your own house from scratch, pick out the small details and actually bring your dream home to life. They will take on the responsibility of planning the project, drawing up the designs, costing, sourcing the building materials and supplies, building the structure, installing any permanent features and possibly advising on the interior design of your home; all while consulting you every step of the way. A design and build company in Harpenden, Hertfordshire will usually employ in-house architects to handle all of the technical design aspects of your renovation or build, whether that’s to design a house or just a kitchen, and will also have main contractors or project managers that will oversee the construction work. The project managers will either work with external building contractors or construction companies, or the design and build company may employ their own builders to carry out the construction work. Either way, all the work is managed by one company and so this means communication is easier and the work is more streamlined. You’ll probably have just one design and build contract, making responsibility simpler and clearer, and also reducing costs for you. However, you should always check this design and build contract closely to see exactly what the firm is agreeing to take responsibility for, so that you don’t get left in the cold at any point.

You don’t have to build your own home to hire a Harpenden, Hertfordshire design and build firm. If you are renovating one or a few rooms of a house, a design and build company in Harpenden, Hertfordshire can still help you – they can design a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom or living room and then complete all of the renovation work for you. This could be a really good option if you are selling your home and want to increase its value quickly – hire a design and build firm in Harpenden, Hertfordshire to redesign and renovate a few rooms of your house without the hassle of dealing with various professionals or the time-consuming effort of doing it yourself.

If all of this sounds ideal, then start searching for design and build procurement companies in Harpenden, Hertfordshire that can design a house, or room, for you and discuss design and build contracts with you.
