Two Storey Rear Contemporary Extension - Project 156

Trevor was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process. He listened to our needs and desires and gave us a plan that more than fit them and one that we would never have considered. He lead the planning permission process and took all of the pain out of it, even dealing with conservation issues along the way. Every builder we got quotes from commented on how thoroughly detailed his plans were, they left no room for error. During the build he was always at the end of the phone and happy to help, even when we changed things that needed him liaise with building regs again.

We’re so happy with how his plans have changed our family home and would not hesitate to recommend Trevor.

Single Storey Rear Extension & Internal Alterations - Project 120

Trevor’s careful and detailed design work was hugely reassuring throughout the design phase and building phase of our project. We were glad to rely on his judgement whenever questions arose which needed expert knowledge – and his consistently calm, cheerful and professional manner made it a pleasure to involve him in our project.

Main Contractor & Builder

I have been working in the Construction Industry for over 45 years and have the pleasure of working with a lot of very highly skilled and motivated Construction Professionals, Trevor is one of these. His drawings are accurate with great clarity and hold all of the information that contractors require whilst at the same time very easy to understand for the lay person/client.

He has a great understanding of construction procedures and this enables him to express these very clearly in his documentation. Any information requests are always dealt with very promptly thus negating delays.

Trevor is a polite and good natured person with high morals and principles and I would not hesitate to recommend him in the highest regard.

Two Storey Rear Extension & Internal Alterations - Project 083

We were very impressed by the service provided by Trevor. We were guided through the process from taking our project from an idea to something that will become a reality. Trevor listened to what we wanted our project to consist of, providing ideas and recommendations along the way in order to create our final building plan. It didn’t matter that we had no experience of managing such a project as Trevor supported us and took away the headache that comes with planning a home extension.
Trevor was very approachable, proficient and caring, reassuring and supported us through all the different stages. The final plans and documents we have received are clear and of a very high standard. Whilst being very professional, Trevor was also very understanding and supportive during any times of anxiety- we always felt our project was in safe hands. We felt listened to and no question was ever to trivial. We are truly grateful for all that was done and would absolutely recommend him to anyone who is looking for someone to manage the design stages of their project.

Two Storey Extension & Internal Alterations - Project 026

Trevor was recommended to us via a friend and he supplied the detail design and drawings for the extension to our house. He also completed the planning permission and project managed the tendering and build processes for us. Trevor was a pleasure to work with and his ideas and suggestions helped us to settle on our final design. The results have been stunning and we are now enjoying living in our contemporary new extension.

Single Storey Annex - Project 066

Trevor was recommended to us by another designer. From our very first meeting to through to when our plans where approved for Building Regulations, Trevor was very professional, meticulous in detail and very knowledgeable.

I had initially drafted a sample drawing with some ideas of the layout I wished for and Trevor provided some even better ideas. At each stage of the process Trevor explained the different stages of the process and what the next steps would be. We were continually kept informed.
Our build is now complete and we are extremely happy with every aspect of it. We would not hesitate in recommending Trevor to people who are seeking someone to design their extension project.

We would happily recommend you to anyone wanting a professional design service to provide a trouble free project. We are extremely pleased with our new bungalow.

Single Storey Rear Extension & Internal Alterations - Project 044

I was extremely impressed with the high quality support and guidance I received from Trevor throughout the development and planning stages of my extension. Trevor presented me with a number of different options which suited what I had in mind and once I had selected one he produced excellent drawings and, having done so, handled all of the Planning process for me. Trevor was always on hand if I had any questions during the building phase. I was very grateful for his detailed knowledge and I would have no hesitation in recommending Trevor.

Single Storey Rear Extension & New Build Annex - Projects 034 & 062

Trevor has helped us transform a dilapidated victorian cottage into a lovely home with a superb kitchen extension in keeping with the original building. He also guided us through the whole planning and building control process which saved us a lot of time and trouble. In addition, our builder said his drawings and detailed plans was were the best and most professional he had worked with. We are working on a second major building project at our property with Trevor and had no hesitation in engaging Trevor to act as our architectural designer once more.”
