“Andrew was recommended to me by a building firm. I was very impressed with his direct communication with me and subsequent communication, by phone and email. His approach to designing and planning our bathroom refurb. was informative and he was able to suggest and offer solution to problems that arose. I was impressed with his service and would recommend him to others.”

“Bann joinery quoted quickly and completed the job for my clients in a good timescale. The workmen were polite and respectful of the property owners and their property. The property was left in good, clean order. I would recommend them and will use them again for any future projects.”

“It has been a pleasure to work with Studio DuB, they are truly professional and have a great eye for detail. Their team is approachable, knowledgeable and go the extra mile. We highly recommend Studio DuB's services.”

“I would not hesitate to recommend Calum Duncan Architects. They designed and project managed an extension and internal remodelling to our house. We are delighted with the design and finished project, it does not look or feel like the same house. They have incorporated some really creative and thoughtful ideas into the design. We never would have imagined our previously ugly house could look so good!”

“We had our two bed flat completely renovated by Built By Blackwell and I have no hesitation in recommending them. The pre-work consultation was very thorough, they were polite, courteous and considerate throughout the Project and talked through every stage as the work progressed. The job was completed on time and within the agreed budget. Also, importantly, they are trustworthy.”

“We used Gavin Jefcoate to design our new kitchen extension and complete remodel of the downstairs of our home. It's nearly 3 years since work started and we are still as pleased with the results as we were when it was first completed. The initial meetings quickly demonstrated that Gavin understood our brief of what we wanted and why we needed it. The resulting plan was a really exciting change for the house with bold creative elements which also integrated the practical solutions that at the time we were desperate for. Throughout the build Jefcoate Anderson provided project management which took away most of the stresses that go hand in hand with altering any home to this extent. We are still hugely pleased with the results and would strongly recommend using this firm if you are considering a build project.”

“Groves-Raines Architects have provided Lead Consultancy and Architectural Services to Shetland Amenity Trust on a number of Heritage projects since 2004. These include the conservation of: Hays Dock and associated Store (built c 1820) - project value £1,100,000 Sumburgh Head Lighthouse Buildings (constructed 1821) - project value £5,400,000 Town Hall, Lerwick (constructed 1881) - Project Value £1,600,000 Client satisfaction is an imperative for the Groves-Raines team and when working with contractors, they do demand that works are finished to a very high standard. The Sumburgh Head Project was a great example of collaborative working: client; designers; contractors; etc. which delivered a project of the highest quality within time and under budget. In conclusion Shetland Amenity Trust would very highly recommend Groves-Raines Architects to other clients and will certainly use them again on future projects.”

“Tamas and his team arrived on time, worked professionally, clean and efficiently. They have done a very good job and I could not be happier. Well recommended! Thank you”

“We selected Martin and Louise from Urban Creatures to design and manage the build of our house because we liked their portfolio and found that they understood our brief. As a result, the design process of the house did not take long and they provided many good ideas. Obtaining planning permission for our house was quite problematic, but Urban Creatures were very professional in dealing with the planning department. Despite them working to our budget, the quotes from the builders were at least 1/3 above our budget, which led to some changes and omissions. But at least that saved us from a lot of nasty surprises once the building work started. Urban Creatures supervised the whole building process and we had fortnightly meetings with both Urban Creatures and the builder to discuss progress and issues. Again, this was done in a very professional manner. Overall, we are very happy with the service provided by Urban Creatures. We would recommend them to others and would not hesitate to use them again.”

“We were planning an entire renovation and upgrade with a view to marketing our property. Every room now looks a million dollars and every viewer has become a prospective purchaser. Tracy and her company provided every detail of our brief and we are extremely happy with the end result therefore I have no problem recommending her to others.”
