New Builds- 7 Jun 2022
Sohail worked closely with me on this project. Providing detailed costings, work schedules and build timelines. Filling my knowledge gaps with his extensive experience he was able to assist over and beyond what I expected from him. Unfortunately due to circumstances out of my control this development project didn’t go ahead. However when the next opportunity for a new build comes up I will definitely be using Rose and Stone. I did have another job going at the time where the other builder badly let me down and left me with a big problem on my hands…. Sohail and his team stepped in and took on the project. The team finished the job exceptionally well, which was a full on top to bottom conversion, some internal reconfigurations and with the addition of a loft and new downstairs WC. The workmanship and overall quality of the job was excellent. My wife is over the moon with the results, taking the house from a three bed one bathroom to a four bed 3 bathroom house. We would definitely recommend Rose and Stone for this type of extensive refurbishment/loft conversion work and look forward to working with them in the future on bigger development projects.

I've been in the Building Trade for 40 years. I prepare drawings for Planning/Building Regulations for Extensions & Loft Conversions.I've worked,as they say,on the tools building these projects so I can say that I have the experience to create first class projects at the budgeted price. I can advise the best design on a budget that you have rather than designing something that is out of reach. Being in the Trade for so long I can prepare drawings at a competitive price

Peter is an absolute gent, a genuinely helpful person who has guided us through the process of transferring our thoughts to paper and then navigating the maze that is planning and Building Controls. We are shortly to commence our building works and I am sure if I need to call upon Peter for his advise and guidance, there would be no hesitation from his side in helping. I have already recommended Peter to friends who are already considering building works. Thus far it has been a pleasure to work with Peter. Thanks Pete!

Architecture- 31 May 2018
We enlisted the help of Kate from Loud Architects for a bathroom and bedroom renovation in our East London Grade II listed terraced house. We found Kate on MyBuilder.com where we were immediately drawn by her ability to quickly understand our requirements, flexibility to meet with us after work and at our home, and finally how she was able to translate our vision and multiple pinterest boards into achievable building plans. She is a top notch architect but also has fantastic design sense and creativity. Kate is incredibly organized, puts together comprehensive meeting presentations and notes, design updates, precedents, and 'to do lists' for our own research/sourcing needs. She's taken our initial idea of a en-suite and family bath conversion into a bathroom oasis that is beyond our initial imagination. From looking at our saved pinterest items, instagram posts, and houzz boards, she was able to put together a design incredibly in line with our tastes. Her attention to detail blows us away! We would absolutely recommend Kate and Loud Architects for any architectural and design needs. Once we've saved enough we will be using her for our next kitchen renovation project!

Architecture- 2 May 2020
We embarked on the project to convert garage, small extension and remodel the ground floor. After speaking to many other Architects from on here we decided to go ahead with Sevda. We feel lucky to have picked Sevda. She is excellent, very professional, on top of the job always, very efficient and preempted things which we would have otherwise overlooked. She helped us getting the planning permission when our first PD application got rejected. She went an extra mile every time to get the things moving. We would highly recommend Sevda.

Alistair McIntyre RIBA
Rating: 5 out of 5
I am a small practice and personally involved in all projects. I enjoy working closely with clients on extension and new-build projects – obtaining planning permission on tiny or large projects and anywhere in between. Having worked on 100’s of successful planning applications the key to success is the discussions throughout the design process with the client. It is something I offer to clients and find they are often surprised with design options that they never realised were possible.

Restoration & Refurbishment- 17 Jul 2016
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. 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. 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 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. 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.

FAQ: Your questions about architectural designers answered

How can I check the quality of an architectural designer’s work?

Ask to view a portfolio of completed projects, ideally ones similar to your own. If possible, arrange to visit past works in person to see finishes and layouts. Read independent client reviews to gauge professionalism, and check if they belong to bodies like CIAT or the ARB. Both design examples and verified credentials show that an architectural designer can deliver.

Are architectural designers required to have insurance?

Yes. Most local architectural designers carry professional indemnity insurance to cover design errors and public liability insurance for accidents during site work. These policies protect both you and them. Always ask for proof before hiring. Reputable designers should provide documentation without hesitation.

Do local architectural designers charge a consultation fee?

Some offer free introductory meetings to discuss ideas, while others charge for site visits, sketches, and detailed advice. Fees are more common for complex or large projects, and often include valuable early planning guidance. Confirm costs in advance so you know exactly what’s included.

What qualifications should an architectural designer have?

Many have formal training in architecture, building design, or construction management. Membership in recognised bodies such as CIAT or RIBA demonstrates professional commitment and adherence to industry standards.

What’s the difference between an architect and an architectural designer?

Architects are ARB-registered and legally recognised, often specialising in complex or bespoke builds. Architectural designers may offer similar services for extensions, remodels, and residential work but without the registration requirement, which can sometimes reduce costs.

How can I make sure architectural designs meet local regulations?

Ask how they handle planning permission and building regulations. Architectural designers should know local requirements, prepare compliant drawings, and handle applications on your behalf to avoid delays.
