Custom Build Home Professionals

“The Market Design and Build has just finished a big project for us and we couldn’t be happier. The property is an old converted barn so the challenge was huge. Obviously there were some set backs but the communication in between us (property owners) and The Market was excellent so problems were solved quickly. These guys are not here to screw you over. Before signing the contract they guaranteed us that they wouldn’t leave the project until we were 100% happy.. And they didn’t! We are sure to use The Market again if we need more work done on a property in the future.”

“Karim did a great job in providing the structural plans and calculations for our project and took the time out to explain and go through them clearly with me to ensure that we understood what they were saying - which was hugely valuable as it's very difficult to decipher structural plans for a layman. In addition he made sure that he was on hand to provide any updates as and when and went out of his way to ensure that we could contact him at any time directly. Thank you Karim!”

“To set the scene : we are mid-way through construction, to renovate & extend of our Victorian terrace in East London. We've had Seán and Stephen Ltd as our architects for 18 months so far. My wife and I are complete novices to design & construction, and Seán and Stephen have expertly and supportively guided us through each stage, enabling us to really enjoy every part of creating our new home. I would happily recommend this professional practice to family and friends. They were great at helping to bring some of our own design preferences to life using plans, 3D models, and interactive virtual room design tools. But they also have challenged our thinking too, leading us to add in a number of amazing and creative features that we would never otherwise have considered. Seán and Stephen created an extremely thorough and professional Design & Access Statement to help explain our project to the local planners. As a direct result of the quality of S&S’s planning pack our application (which proposed various potentially contentious items such as a basement, lightwell, and dormer) was approved without a single significant amendment. Since the contractor began the works Seán and Stephen have project managed every aspect of the construction programme, providing us with detailed weekly updates and explaining everything to us in layman’s terms. They consistently fight our corner with the contractor on a number of technical and cost-related issues which gives us real confidence that the project is in safe hands. So far we have enjoyed a stress-free project thanks to their project management skills”

“Super professional and really high quality work. Transparent pricing and very responsive to any questions or concerns. Worked hard to catch up on any delays (e.g. the inevitable late windows), and kept us informed of progress. A really nice team - without exception everyone who worked on the project was friendly, considerate and incredibly hard-working.”

“Marius and his team are not only professional and hard-working but also unusually sensitive and attentive to the requirements of the customer. We had very little experience of dealing with builders and were rather apprehensive at the start of the process but were soon completely reassured. They have a real can-do attitude and kept surprising us with their blend of practical and creative solutions to issues that arose. I couldn't recommend them more strongly.”

“We used these guys for a kitchen conversion and full garden digout & build. They were brilliant throughout, very trustworthy and quick to react, managed our expectations well. Unexpected extras were no problem and they were always the lowest quote when shopping around. We ended up with a great finish. These guys are mostly Lithuanians and probably the hardest workers I've ever seen, almost embarrassing, I asked my kid not to watch them so that he's not disappointed in my own efforts.”

“Mel designed a 'lounge-inspired' retail space and office for my shoe company, and did a wonderful job sourcing quirky and unusual pieces of furniture and artwork, as well as creating a solution that worked perfectly for my high end customers and staff. The result was absolutely outstanding, and attracted significant press coverage and a real 'wow' factor within the industry. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Mel again - she's a genius!”

“We used Kantec for a loft refurbishment. it was a complete rebuild with a technically tricky internal rearrangement, and a planning requirement that the external appearance remained unchanged. The build waa well managed and delivered on time to a very high level of finish. Builders were diligent and very respectful of the rest of the house. We are very pleased with the results.”

“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!”

“Making world beautiful was excellent - Their work was fantastic and we are very happy with the completed refurbishment. Friendly and always very helpful when it came to picking out new ideas and fittings. I will be using him again for more work and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to have work done.”
