Site Planning Professionals in Havant, Hampshire

“Highly recommend Beckmann Architecture. They did a great job for us, liaising closely with us to produce clear, practical plans that were approved first time. The build went smoothly, keeping to budget and timescale.”

“Brian Hoolahan acted as our principal architect as we embarked on our project to replace our harbour fronted home in Chichester. The location of the property was particularly sensitive as it is situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Our brief was for Brian’s practice to design a family home using traditional materials whilst at the same time satisfying some of the highest environmental standards with respect to energy efficiency and material sourcing - including ground source heating and significant reliance of a sustainably sourced oak structure as an alternative to steel. Further, as a resident of Bosham we very much required that our new home was to be sympathetic towards the local environment, being close to Bosham village and its grade 1 listed Anglican church. Brian led all aspects of the design and planning approval process - which included satisfying the requirements of the District and Parish counsils as well as other authorities, including Chichester Harbour Conservancy. Following planning approval, Brian, through his construction company, Harbour Contractors, project managed the build covering all aspects of compliance and certification addressing architectural matters as they arose. We were delighted in choosing Brian’s organisation for our project and were able to benefit from his many years of professional experience as well as his deep architectural knowledge, having developed many projects throughout West Sussex.”

“Fantastic service. I had no idea how to extend my home. David help me at each stage of the process, making it really easy to do. I was even helped with guidelines about what to look for when sourcing builders- and the price of what the extension was going to cost, allowing me to compare the quotes from relevant builders. Any problems no matter how small were easily dealt with and with no fuss. Would highly recommend them.”

“We have always received a brilliant, professional and timely service from this team. We are a property promoting company and the layouts provided for small or large scale developments are always, thoughtful and respectful of the planning requirements which of course differ from planning authority to planning authority. We have no doubt in our minds that users of their design services, will like us continue to come back time and time again”

“Helyer Davis Architects are extremely professional & yet still maintain a friendly approachable manner. Always willing to discuss projects whenever required. Attention to detail is 100%. Great team to work with. Making out lives easier & the project running smoothly.”

“We utilised SurveyClouds services when undertaking a large kitchen renovation project involving many substantial structural changes to the house. David provided the technical surveys for the builders and planning authorities to use. David’s quality of work and his ability to communicate this information to the many people working on the project was second to none. He keeps me, the customer, up to date at all times, giving me peace of mind and awareness of progress. Professionalism and integrity are two words that I believe Dave prides himself on and delivers”

“Prompt service. Very helpful and practical. Came up with sensible ideas that helped bring our ideas alive. Offered good value for money.”

“A fantastic service which I would certainly use again and recommend highly. The drawings provided the best possible use of space and all communication throughout the process was clear and professional.”

“Alfie designed our garden room and office and took the project through the planning process. We are delighted with our new bespoke building that attracts so many positive comments from friends, neighbours and family. Alfie is very knowledgeable and easy to deal with. His ideas to vault the ceiling and have an exposed beam running the length of the building just adds to the wow factor. Our project was very small compared to what Alfie usually does, however we were made to feel every bit as important as all the other projects Alfie was running at the time.”

“Architecture Live planned and designed the complete extension and renovation of our 1960's house in West Sussex. At every stage they listened to our needs and requirements as a family and took those on board - while always adding new ideas and the flair to lift our project out of the ordinary. Their advice on energy efficiency and no-nonsense approach to eco initiatives was also refreshing and extremely valuable. Three years on we still absolutely love living in our house - which is both perfectly functional and extremely beautiful. We have an on-going relationship with the team as we are still completely further phases of our project, and find that their ideas and energy continue to impress. Highly recommend.”
