I've been working with Absolute Project Management for a few months as a service supplier. They create innovative solutions for many different types of properties resulting in light, spacious and beautifully styled homes. Their attention to detail and service level for their customers is always impressive. It has been a pleasure working with them.

Highly recommended!
For some months our project to reconfigure and refurbish two adjacent flats in a grade II listed building in East London had failed to get off the ground, hampered by geographical complications and limited local know-how (our initial interior designer - a close relative - was based in Spain).
We found APM here on Houzz, liked what we read and saw, and got in touch. From the first meeting we were quite sure that we’d found the right team.
Very personable and professional, they quickly assessed the progress we had made with the design, where we were struggling and how they could help. They were frank and insightful about timelines and budget, and transparent and upfront with their own fees.
Heading into the planning & design phase, we already had a basic floorplan for what we wanted to do, but Cat and her team skilfully guided it into reality, moulding the brief as we went, finding smart new spacial reconfigurations and design solutions, and drilling down to granular details of fixtures and decor.
They sourced and oversaw a number of 3rd party services where necessary, including an architect to assist with the Heritage Statement for the Listed Building Consent application, a structural engineer, and a building control consultant.
After compiling a detailed project plan and putting it out to tender, the contractor they sourced was outstanding - Bojart Construction Ltd - who shared APM’s wonderful can-do approach throughout the build, and whose craftsmanship and finish was second-to-none (especially the tiling!).
From start to finish, APM were highly organised and communicative and a pleasure to work with. We were kept fully abreast but never felt overwhelmed, and every penny spent was itemised and accounted for. As suggested elsewhere in these reviews, it was perhaps something of a luxury to have them at the reigns, but for ease of mind and a job well done they were very much worth it. Always in the positive, nothing was a problem. In tricky moments it was a relief to have their proactive and positive attitude to hand, they really made it all stress-free. We are thrilled with our new home, and Cat, Jo and Leah at APM made it all happen. So very glad we worked with them.

I have carried out 2 projects with Cat and her team and both have been completed to a very high standard and within budget. They are a pleasure to work with and helped see through the vision we set out in the initial meetings. Nothing ever feels overwhelming when carrying out substantial work and I highly recommend Absolute Project Management.

After struggling to find someone to take on our project we luckily came across APM.
From our very first meeting, rather than looking for alternatives to some of our "more creative" ideas they were completely enthusiastic and supportive of everything we wanted to do.
Being new to a full renovation project and being on a budget we were very conscious of where we used our money. One of the things that really stood out with APM was the transparency of where every single penny would be spent. This gave us more options for where we could save and where we should spend to get the best from the project. Their advice was always spot on and made a big difference to the final outcome. We had all our deadlines agreed up front and we would have hit them if it wasn't for a few issues our end.
One of the other big plus points we have to thank APM for was the contractors they supplied. Michal and his team are real craftsmen. We couldn't be happier with the quality of work, the finishes and their can do attitude with any issues that arose.
While having Project management can seem an added luxury, I can honestly say we would never have got our project finished... and to such a high standard without APM.

Hi Pete, thanks so much for your review and for trusting us with your wonderful property. We loved your ideas and all the reclaimed pieces you found. They all suited the style of the property and it was really satisfying to help you bring everything together to match your vision for the space. It's been a pleasure to work with you both and we wish you all the best settling into your fabulous new space!

We realised quickly we were in over our heads with a ground floor extension. We found APM on Houzz and set up a consultation. APM were very clear from the outset about what they could help us with, how their process worked and how they billed for their work. We knew we needed
them from our very first meeting!
They project managed our renovation from start to finish. They helped us organise and finalise the right drawings and level of detail to solicit bids from contractors, and advised us as we negotiated and tightened the spec of works based on what we could afford. Once the building works began, they were onsite at least once a week, in regular touch with the builder, and took the lead on all aspects to ensure the work was carried out to our specifications, on time, and on budget.
As the million little questions popped up, they raised them with us in a timely manner, supported us to make decisions, and kept track of the outstanding details that needed sorting. For some bespoke aspects of the build, they drew up designs that we were and are very happy with, helped us manage getting updated quotes for work, and ensured that the builders had all the information they needed to implement the designs. All of the contractors came through APM recommendations and relationships, and they were all high quality and profressional.
Throughout the process, APM was supportive, engaged, and on top of the project. We're incredibly happy with the final product, and miraculously, ended the project on great terms with our neighbours, builders, and APM! Thank you Cat!

I hired APM to project manage renovation of my new 2/3 bed Warner flat in Walthamstow - it was initally intended to be a quick, largely cosmetic project but it became rather more complex after some structural problems became apparent. APM were a huge help, quickly engaging a structural engineer to find a solution and interfacing with party wall solicitors to get everything necessary in place. Their recommended builders were excellent, keeping to time and the agreed budget and producing a great quality finish. Overall, whilst due to the increasingly complex nature of the project I ended up spending more than I had intended, it simply wouldn't have got done without APM in charge. Highly recommended!

Hi Heather, thanks very much for your review. We loved working on your property and with you- it has been an absolute pleasure! We're glad the main works are complete and the property is now structurally sound. We look forward to working with you in the future, but for now enjoy your beautiful new home.

Hired Absolute Project Management for a full renovation of an Islington maisonette.
Good clear planning process helped translate my vague descriptions into concrete plans effectively. The team then did a fantastic job coordinating all the steps in the process, from planning permission and building control, through to building, electrics, plumbing, and advice on furniture, and interior design. Significantly helped reduce the stress that comes with renovation by taking care of all of this.
The contracted builders were of very good quality, hard working with good attention to detail.
Communication throughout was clear, including on the budget.
End result certainly exceeds expectations we had at the start.

Hi Kiran
Thanks so much for taking the time to write this review for us. We absolutely loved working with you on this exciting and challenging project. Your ideas for opening up the top floor were excellent and we're so pleased you trusted us to reconfigure the bathroom/ utility area- this has been one of our favourite areas to transform (those tiles- YUM!)
We're glad to have made the experience a positive one for you. We hope you will now enjoy a well deserved break from dust and builders, in your beautiful new home!

We engaged Absolute Project Management to arrange and manage the refurbishment of our two story mews cottage. The work included complete re-wiring, replacement of an en-suite bathroom, which required tanking, replacement of the kitchen, installation of fitted wardrobes in two bedrooms and all incidental plumbing, electrical work, plastering, tiling and decoration work throughout. APM made suggestions for all fittings and appliances and arranged for their purchase and installation. APM engaged a contractor who provided and coordinated skilled professionals and craftsmen who completed the work to a very high standard.
APM also arranged for planning consent for a canopy over our entrance way and for its installation. They also arranged for the removal and storage of our furniture while the work took place and for its return afterwards.
The work began and finished on time and within the agreed budget.

Lawrence and Cat from APM are very very good at managing even the trickiest of projects. Highly efficient, providing much-needed clarity and calm along the way. This wasn't my first renovation-- my 4th-- and I would work with them again on any future projects.
I'm based outside of London and I would never have been able to do this without them, but even was I living in London, I would use them again. Their expertise sped the project through trickier moments, saving my sanity and my money.
I heartily recommend APM.

Cat and Moeena from APM were a joy to work with. They completely understood the vision for my flat refurbishment project and were knowledgable, helpful, friendly and professional throughout. I had some tricky issues with freeholder consent that Cat was a tremendous help in navigating, and once we got over this and the project work kicked off they were the safest pair of hands.
I could not have achieved the end result (which I am thrilled with) without their expertise..something I lacked completely!
If you are time poor and/or inexperienced in refurb projects do not hesitate to use APM!
