Site Preparation Professionals in Letchworth, Hertfordshire

“Our conservatory included a kitchen, dining room/lounge with no doors & a plastic roof so we were very cold in the winter. We contacted Building Tectonics who transformed our uncomfortable space into a very light garden room by taking the walls down between the kitchen & dining room/lounge & adding a proper roof. We now enjoy cooking, eating & relaxing in a great open space”

“Brosh Architects did an extension and complete home renovation for our semi-detached 3 (now 4) bedroom house in NW London. The level of artistic style, stunning design and bespoke comfort that Lior and his company managed to eke out of our originally very poorly built hovel is just plain incredible - every day since it feels like we've moved into something that would make Grand Designs envious that they didn't follow our project. We now have a spacious, beautiful kitchen as the heart of our home, a gorgeous, tall. full glass-backed extension with spacious roof (without blocking the neighbours right to light) with sunshine entering from all directions, a luxuriously spaced entertainment deck and 2 washrooms that are elegant, comfortable and sumptuous, All aspects were thoroughly thought through and integrated into our plans. Everything about working with Brosh Architects was a delight and a pleasure. The design phase was handled well with a deft balance of structural integrity, architectural vision and, most importantly, our comfort and needs all put together into a very reasonably priced proposal. The company worked with us and helped us through the entire process - the inevitable back and forth with planning (none of it due to Brosh Architect's designs by the way), the on-point selection presented of all the items that elevated the interior and exterior (nothing cheap and cheerful, nothing overpriced - just beautiful, good quality items to complement and enhance the design) and then the ongoing communication and holding-to-task inspection of the work of our chosen contractors and builders, including some inevitable changes where we decided on a few tweaks. It is possible to get architectural firms that ask for a cheaper rate and to get a bog-standard McCube of a house with no inspired design or peace of mind over any aspect of the process or work being done , and it's sometimes possible to be charged several times more than Brosh Architect's rate and still not end up with what you want because you're just another customer with a faceless firm (I've got friends and neighbours who've been through both). Since the architect's fees are relatively small compared to the rest of the work, it's important that you get this choice right (I truly believe Brosh Architects ended up saving us the equivalent of their fees several times over in unwanted and unexpected builders costs with their oversight and contractor inspections). We have gone through this process with absolute peace of mind and we love our house - our friends who saved on these upfront costs haven't had the same experience. The end result is that we have a home that is not just perfectly suited to us, a space who's dimensions just feel right but also a house that is stylish and elegant and has appreciated in value way more than the investment was (as confirmed by several agents we've invited along since).”

“Having worked with SKK in the past on various projects for Ralph Lauren, Warner Music and Superdry, we employed them to undertake the design of a new urban gym in Canary Wharf. The brief was to create a fitness environment different to anything seen in the UK while suiting the new site and potential client base. As usual, SKK excelled in all areas. The client was impressed with the SKK team from start to finish and has a design that will work for this space and their future roll outs.”

“After a robust search for an architectural practice that could design my new home I chose Cambridge-based APA. I was drawn by their beautiful designs, a track record of designing for the client (not themselves) and because we 'clicked' on first meeting. This shouldn't be underestimated - a successful project starts and ends with a good client-professional relationship. Whilst navigating a challenging planning process, APA presented me with several original, high-quality designs that were sensitive to the site whilst delivering everything I'd requested (and far more besides). I really did love every concept - a great problem to have! Led by Emma Parkes and Jeremy Ashworth, APA's growing team was always inspiring and patient when discussing ideas and sharing their considerable knowledge. They managed third-party contacts with equal professionalism and interpreted clearly and calmly what was, at times, confusing feedback. Couple this with their ability to stay ahead of trends and know the best contemporary resources and materials, meant their final design was both practical, beautiful and on-budget. I'd recommended APA to anyone looking for an inspiring design for their extension or new build.”

“Philip Pearlman is THE architect when it comes to London Mews houses. We wanted to add an additional story to our house and renovate to a modern high standard. Philip understood exactly what we wanted to do, was extremely helpful in sorting out planning permission, obtaining quotes from contractors, managing the project, keeping us informed as to progress and giving us plenty of time and options when we had to make decisions. We are delighted with the end result - and it came in on budget! We would highly recommend Philip to anyone wanting a similar project.”

“As an architect, I have had the opportunity to collaborate with Michelle from Live Site Studio on a number of projects and have consistently been impressed with her high level of professionalism and expertise as a conservation architect. She provided valuable conservation advice and prepared Heritage Impact Statements for our Grade 2 Listed Buildings with efficiency and attention to detail. Additionally, Michelle's workshops on conservation principles added to the wealth of knowledge within our team. Not only is Michelle highly skilled in her field, but she is also a pleasure to work with. She is approachable and excellent with clients, and her work is consistently thorough and practical. Michelle has been a valuable asset to our team and has contributed positively to our design reviews which have led to positive outcomes at planning stages. We highly recommend Michelle for any architectural or heritage project and look forward to continuing to work with her in the future.”
