Building Designers in Surrey

“I retained Carta Nova to work on my apartment in the US. I worked with Eva to come up with a few ideas and she expertly brought everything together--color scheme, interior architecture as well as the few minor structural changes that I wanted to do. I loved the result and it helped substantially when renting out the apartment. Eva listened to my ideas, understood what I wanted and helped to crystallize those notions into ideas... and then made the ideas become reality. It made living in my apartment so much more pleasurable and improved my bottom line when I decided to rent it out. I highly recommend working with Carta Nova.”

“Louise made the whole process a very enjoyable experience. From the start she asked questions and listened to the answers, which means that I have a space that I want and is not only lovely, but works well for my family. I felt the pressure taken off me as after the design phase Louise liaised with the builders for me to ensure everyone was working together and that gave me confidence that it would all come together smoothly. She is very calm and reassuring. I have already recommended her on to friends and will do so again!”

“My wife and I looked on mybuilder.com to find a builder for our house renovation. Valter was very impressive on his initial visit with some exciting ideas for the house improvements and we had no hesitation in choosing Happy Building above the other two building firms who quoted. This was the deciding factor even though the other firms' quotes came in at a lower price. It quickly became clear that Happy Building are also very experienced design consultants and they spent a long time with us working on the detail, look and feel of how the house would look after the renovation. Detailed plans in CAD enabled us to evaluate the options which was a huge help for a pair of non-creatives Having signed off on the budget and scope of work, Valter's team of builders arrived. We were hugely impressed with the skill, experience and work ethic of the team; the fact that they arrived early each morning smiling underlined the "Happy Building" epithet; Jarek, the site foreman, had an especially cheery demeanour. We continued to live in the house during the two month project and the team were happy to work around us. The work involved stripping the walls back to bricks, removing walls, reinforcing foundations, plastering, extending the bathroom and removing one bedroom to create a large ensuite bedroom. The latter certainly would not have been done without Valter's vision and patience in explaining how it would look. We were kept informed at each stage of the process and consulted on any important decision which was most welcome and made us feel part of the project management process. We were able to deviate from the original plans without any problem which was very important in achieving the final look which we had desired. Valter was very careful in sticking to time and budgets which I had never experienced before with builders. We felt like we were working with a team that wanted to create the best look and feel possible and took genuine pride in their work and output rather than treating us as another project to be finished within an arbitratry timeframe which suited the firm. The kitchen, bathroom, two bedrooms, living room and hallways were finished to the highest possible specification within our budget. There were one or two small features which, with hindsight, we would have improved such as door handles and shower fittings, however this was down to us not specifying exactly what we wanted. These are very minor details and a tiny part of the overall picture. In summary we are exceptionally pleased with the work Valter, Jarek and the team did and would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending them; indeed we are recommending them to ourselves for a follow-up project of upgrading our conservatory next spring! At the end of the project we were given some "Happy Building" mugs which say, "You Dream it. We build it." For us a more appropriate summary would be, "You and us dream it. We build it.". We are very satisfied customers and would be more than happy to have anyone in our area considering home improvements or renovations come over to our house and look at Happy Building's work.”

“Extremely pleased with the service we received from James at New World Designers Ltd. He couldn't have been more helpful, visiting us on numerous occasions to discuss what we wanted, offering ideas and suggestions and saying what was or wasn't possible. He also kept in regular contact throughout the whole process to keep us informed of what was happening. We will definitely be using them again and can't recommend them highly enough.”

“I hired Concept8 for a complete renovation project of a 4,000sqf family home over 12 months in 2013-14. The Concept8 team was responsible for architectural design, organizing tenders, sourcing contractors & materials, monitoring the entire process onsite & dealing with all contractors from start to hand-over (and beyond). I found in Concept8 a team of dedicated professionals, able to listen to our needs, highly knowledgeable in their domain, well-connected with a large network of professionals in the construction business, without which my own personal project would not have been a success.”

“dwell design began working for us on the extension and refurbishment of our new home after the plan drawing company we had initially been recommended totally let us down. By comparison Anthony and the team were thorough, interested, passionate and knowledgeable with much appreciated attention to detail. I felt that Anthony took the time to understand what it was that we were looking for in our home and tailored the plans to suit what we really needed, coming up with a design that worked for us. The final result is all we had hoped for and more and would not have happened without all the hard work from the dwell team. They have all been a pleasure to work with.”

“Very professional service throughout the project (house extension and improvements) and great architect and design input. Would recommend Harvey Wright Architects.”

“I used Greenway Associates for both planning permission and building control. I found Wayne to be very professional, knowledgable and experienced. He took on all responsibility to liase with the planning office and all proposals and drawings were approved at the first time of asking.”

“The most efficient and friendly staff, highly professional team that can execute your kitchen dreams and desires to an exact specification! The expertise that the team had from the inception with the detailed drawings with great design ideas and 3D visuals created by Sonya, and the level of detail from the installation manager Avtar who was on site during the process and the complete knowledge of every aspect of a kitchen from appliances, accessories, colour schemes and materials and the utilization of space from the directors Ajit and Sukh gave us clear confidence in their work and passion for the job and service provided. They were extremely personable, warm, friendly and charming and a complete joy to have been serviced by. The finished product has been complimented by every guest and is now clearly the highlight of our home. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great quality kitchen with fantastic service to go with it! Our family thank you Design Abode for realising our dream kitchen. One happy customer!”

“I have worked with David and his team on a couple of schemes and they really understand our glazing systems. Their modus operandi is a high level of attention to detail plus contemporary design utilising modern building materials. The work we did with them recently had a great contract of Corten steel and Glass.”
