Testimonials

What Clients Say

"Dan has been with us on this project from the very start. We began with some sketches and then worked together to achieve the final design that we wanted. He was very helpful and knowledgable throughout the Planning Permission process and always on hand during the build to help us with any issues. We have now moved in and are delighted with our new home"

Andrew & Kitty Harrison

Clients

"Its been a pleasure to have Dan working on our project with us. We met to discuss our ideas and then Dan came up with a few really great designs for us. He introduced us to ideas we had never even considered that will really make all of the difference to the way we live in the property. Our project is now underway and Dan is always there on the end of the phone to help us out."

Ray and Diane Pearce

Clients

""Dan designed our new extension. We went from a bungalow to a house. Dan was so easy to work with and gave some great suggestions for storage, etc and some things we hadn't even thought of. We would and have recommend him to any one."

Christine Waldron

Clients

"I have used Dan on a couple of projects now. Firstly he designed my amazing new build house and then the extension on my very dated bungalow, bringing it into the 21st century. Very talented and a pleasure to deal with."

Karen Peach

Clients

"Dan designed my property in 2008 and the building work didn't fully start until 2018. Such was the design, layout and forward thinking the design still looks fantastic ten years on. A great service from start to finish"
