Builders in Sheffield, South Yorkshire

“A wonderful architect and a genuinely personal service Choosing Ben Liddle from Edge AD, was the best decision we made in our large renovation project. What immediately stood out was the depth and quality of his personal service. Ben didn't simply come in, measure the house and start drawing plans. He took the time to get to know us as people — importantly where we were in our lives, our priorities, how we wanted to live in our home and what mattered to us. He carried out a remarkably detailed survey of the property and took the trouble to meet with us several times at home. His approach was relaxed, patient and never rushed. Through thoughtful and careful questioning, he teased out ideas that we hadn't always been able to articulate ourselves. He then translated these into a number of different design options, giving us the opportunity to explore what worked best for us that were aligned with our budget. As our ideas changed and developed, Ben was incredibly patient, meeting us many times at our home, and always willing to revise and refine the designs with us. We certainly never felt that we were simply another project on his books. One of the things that made the whole experience so much less stressful was Ben's recommendation of our builder. He introduced us to a wonderful, highly skilled and communicative builder and Ben remained in close contact with the builder throughout, helping to ensure that the project stayed true to the design, and managed the issues as they arose. That continuity was invaluable. He genuinely was invested in achieving the right result for us. Ben also made very helpful introductions to suppliers for things such as our kitchen and tiles. These recommendations saved us considerable time and, as a bonus, we were able to benefit from discounts through his introductions. Most importantly, we absolutely love what Ben designed for us. His designs are beautiful, but they are also incredibly practical. He understood how to make the most of the space we had and managed to create a home that feels both spacious and that we are proud of. We would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Ben and EdgeAD. His architectural skill is excellent, but it is his personal approach, attention to detail and commitment to his clients that really sets him apart. We are extremely grateful for everything he did for us and delighted with the home he helped us create. Mike and Audrey Ho”

“I hired Unity to do a building project for me, the team were great! It felt refreshing to work with an organised builder who kept me fully informed and produced a quality outcome, overcoming all hurdles in their way. I would definitely use again.”

“I cannot speak highly enough of Ecclesall Design. We approached them 2-3 years ago seeking advice on how to deal with defects to our house, exacerbated by a very exposed position. The prepared solution involved significant building work. They obtained Building Regulations approval and provided an upgraded specification for the work that went beyond building regulations requirements in order to better address the exposed location. We had lots of questions and Sue Humphreys answered all our emails promptly with detailed answers and advice. Then covid hit and the building work was delayed until September 2022 due to the backlog of work it created for our builder. Once it started we quickly encountered a problem with the Councils Building Control who were now asking for an approach to an aspect of the work that we felt would compromise the objective. After struggling with this problem for a few days I contacted Sue for advice, not really feeling I should have much expectation as it had been a couple of years since she completed the task we had hired her for. Sue responded immediately. She held discussions with the builder and Council over a couple of days and agreed a way forward that was satisfactory to all parties. We were delighted. Sue even thanked me for giving her the chance to resolve the problem. Ecclesall Design have provided great service right through our project.”
