“A friendly and professional practice - a pleasure to work with. Impressive timber frame design knowledge and excellent communication made this project an absolute joy - we hope to work with you again soon.

Workshop Collaborative
Custom Build Home in Tavistock, Devon
“We have worked with Woco on a regular basis for the past 4 years, on several projects ranging from bespoke furniture-making to much bigger architectural projects. The guys are a pleasure to collaborate with - extremely sharp, fast, excellent at finding out of the box solutions, and always working with the greatest attention to detail. We really appreciate their design + build ethos, which helps them to bring beautiful fully-fledged creations to life.
If we need to commission work, and the Woco team can do it, then we will do our utmost to work with them.

Gillespie Yunnie Architects
Custom Build Home in Tavistock, Devon
“GY Architects made a complicated project a joy to work on. They came up with some fantastic ideas that complimented our own wishes and helped us through the planning and listed building applications. The presentation of our planning and listed buildings application was exemplary and there were no objections from anyone - almost unheard of! They provided the service that we wanted and helped us through the fine details. We would happily recommend them as an architectural practise.”

Lignum Designs Limited
Custom Build Home in Tavistock, Devon
“I used Simon from Lignum design on a new build project in Yealmpton, Devon. He was fantastic from start to finish. His fresh ideas and quirky designs really finished the house to a high spec. Every person who has had a look at my house and congratulated me on the design and layout and this is all down to Simon. Along with being superb at his job, he always responds to emails and phone calls at his earliest convenience and this therefore sped up the building planning and development process. I would highly recommend Lignum designs to any person looking to build a new property.”

Tim Offer Architects
Custom Build Home in Tavistock, Devon
“Mole Architects designed our house Stackyard in Suffolk. Tim was the lead architect on the project. His professionalism, attention to detail and ability to work with us enabled the build to run smoothly. It was a pleasure to work with him.”

Trotman & Taylor Architectural Consultants
Custom Build Home in Tavistock, Devon
“We have used Trotman Taylor; aka Clayton Taylor, on 2 occasions:
The first time was for plans to build a 3 bay cart lodge - the plans produced were creative,comprehensive and instrumental in getting planning approval from Dartmoor National Park. Clayton guided us through the whole process.
The second time was to integrate a separated upper floor from the main house and link it into the other floors.
Again Clayton provided plans that were imaginative, innovative and maximised the use of the space. He also assisted with the application for Building Control to a successful conclusion.
In both cases Clayton was thorough with several site visits, he communicated well at all stages of the planning with patience and full explanations of the different options for the build. His business plan was clearly set out.
Clayton was able to recommend local builders and tradesmen all of whom said that ‘if you can't build off Claytons plans , you cant build off anything as they are so comprehensive and leave nothing to chance!’
We consider Cayton’s services to be excellent value for money and wouldn't hesitate to use this business again and we would recommend him to anyone.”

Qube Design Limited
Custom Build Home in Tavistock, Devon
“Qube Design Ltd came highly recommended. Their knowledge and ability to liaise with us, the Local Authority and Conservation Planner was excellent, and made it easier for us. They regularly met with builders to ensure the smooth running of the project.”

The Bazeley Partnership
Custom Build Home in Tavistock, Devon
“Bazeley's eye for detail is faultless. They seem to have a knack of transforming spaces into real design pieces, and this has been recognised by the numerous awards they have received over the years.
They have also recently signed up to the Architect in the House scheme - http://www.architectinthehouse.org.uk/ - which supports the Shelter charity for the homeless, showing their dedication not only to their immediate work, but also to the wider community.”

Carpenter Oak Ltd
Custom Build Home in Tavistock, Devon
“Before writing this, I wanted to find out when we first approached Carpenter Oak and after searching my emails, found the first communication was 28th March 2012! Our frame has just been completed as of last week.
What happened in between those dates was mainly searching for the right plot of land and going through the process of purchasing and planning.
We were always sure we would use Carpenter Oak as we loved their ethos. The fact that the frames were really handmade and hand finished using the very best quality oak. Yes, we did get other companies to quote but not only were Carpenter Oak way ahead with their friendliness and customer service, when compared to others, their design included more oak than any other and that's what we wanted - a house that would show off the beauty of the wood. The actual week on site was amazing to watch and we couldn't stay away from site, wanting to soak it all in. The guys were amazing and SO calming to be around. We're not even halfway there with the build yet, but if we were to ever do this again, it would be Carpenter Oak I would speak to first and say - what shall we build next?”

Stopher Design Partnership
Custom Build Home in Tavistock, Devon
“It is almost ten years now since we moved into our Stopher home - enough time to truly appreciate Michael and Jo’s outstanding work.
The design and construction process ran smoothly. Clearly there were hiccoughs along the way, as with any construction project, but these were resolved in good humour, with Michael overseeing closely the relationship with our contractor.
We adore our home. We bought a prime site opposite a house that we had rented for summer holidays over the previous decade. We knew that we loved the position. What we did not appreciate was how much this could be optimised with a beautifully designed house.
Our house is a joy to live in, uplifting our spirits every time we arrive home. The house is filled with sunlight from morning to evening, floor to ceiling windows afford panoramic views over the beach and countryside, and its multiple balconies and outdoor spaces enable us to enjoy Jo’s lushly planted garden across the seasons.”
