Oxford, Oxfordshire Custom Build Home Professionals

“I have worked on projects designed by Holland and Green and their designs always add value to the properties. They have a friendly team at the London office who seem to go that extra mile and really relate to their end user clients.”

“We employed Milton Architects to help us with a major (for us) project in transforming our rather quirky 1911 house. The project took c10 months and we made it more difficult for the architects and contractors by choosing to live in different corners of the house while work carried on around us. We are delighted with the end result. Mike Milton brought many innovative elements to the overall design and equal emphasis was placed on the practical considerations such as construction, plumbing, electrics and sourcing. The project incorporated constructional changes, renovations and improvements, two new extensions and a few demolitions. MA handled the project management very well, first through Mike and then his colleague Ros Leverett. The project - having allowed for the constraints and problems encountered along the way (asbestos, rotten timbers, crumbling foundations ...) was very close to the original budget and timescale, and the interactions with the construction company exemplary. So in conclusion we are very pleased to recommend Milton Architects highly and unreservedly for any project remotely similar to our own.”

“I have worked with UJ Developments on many occasions over the last 20 years and have always found them to be reliable and conscientious. Their workmanship and site management are first class. The projects that I have undertaken with them include extensions, loft conversions, proerty refurbishment & redevelopment and include all construction elements, services, finishes and joinery. I would have no problem in recommending them for a wide range of residential works”

“Absolute Architecture was a joy to work with. Kate Cooper and her team worked with a tiny, decrepit home, large garden and stables from 1908 and turned the property into a show piece. They were sympathetic to the original design and area while making the home user friendly and comfortable for contemporary residents. They were knowledgeable about the many local laws and guidelines and used the best local craftsmen for the renovation and addition, all in a timely, warm manner. We are so proud of our lovely home; it came out truly beautiful. Thank you Kate!”

“I couldn't recommend Lesley high enough. We found her highly innovative, motivated and with a listening ear to any ideas that we had. She was easy to work with and and had a very good rapport with our builders.”

“Fineline Architechs offered us a fantastic service. We live in a Tudor, listed building which required a great deal of renovation and a total revamp of the large parts of the house. Fineline delivered a fabulous design which was both contemporary but also sympathetic to the original ancient building. Both Katie and Chris had great ideas and where a joy to work with. They were also excellent at dealing with our local council and conservation officer to ensure that the designs we submitted would have the highest likelihood of success, which indeed they did as we had the entire programme of works agreed by the planning department. I can not recommend Fineline highly enough and I would definitely use them again.”

“Working with the team at Hinton Cook is always a pleasure. They are knowledgeable, creative and they meet our deadlines.”

“Stanley Crawford oversaw and worked on the renovations to my house in 2015. He was unfailingly helpful and I trusted him implicitly. Work was of a good standard and budgets adhered to.”

“Red Oak is an excellent construction company, they are professional, capable and their build quality is of a very high standard.”

“I engaged Chris to draw up plans for a house extension and garage conversion into an office and shed. I was extremely impressed with Chris's attitude and professionalism throughout the whole process. He kept me informed of his work, advised me where necessary and came to see me at regular intervals to review the design and ensure I understood all aspects of the work clearly. Chris's knowledge through the planning process was invaluable and helped get this approved effortlessly. His detailed and thorough plans and drawings meant that the builders (a number of whom Chris recommended) could price up this work in an accurate manner and provide detailed timelines for the project. Which as a project manager myself was great to see! There is absolutely no doubt I would use Chris again for any other projects and have happily recommended him to friends and family.”
