3 Best Architects in Southend On Sea, UK

I contacted Russell at BGA to help us with the design and planning application of a new office. The service provided in meeting our requirements from the initial meeting, design stage, planning permission process right up to completion of the building was fantastic. What made it exceptional was the time and guidance in the communication with the planning department to ensure an approved plan and working with the builders to completion. Thank you.

We found BGA through the RIBA website after submitting details of the project. They were helpful from the first contact & we elected to allow them to manage the project, organising & advising on planning, structural engineers & builders, enabling us to make the required decisions. The site meetings were helpful & informative, professional but friendly. Russell was hands on & responsive, & unforeseen problems were dealt with promptly. Thoroughly recommend BGA architects!

The team at BGA have been fantastic. We've worked with them for over a year to develop multiple designs as our requirements evolved. They have been patient throughout, advising and providing alternatives to finally come up with a design that ticked our requirements. It was a pleasure to work with Russell, Peter, Jasmine and Robert.

Cannot recommend Steve Gratrix and the team at Knight Gratrix highly enough. Everyone that was involved in our project was very professional and courteous. Steve took the time to ensure that he had a full understanding of exactly what we wanted to achieve through converting the loft space and adding an extension to our house. This was apparent in the highly detailed plans that he produced and even sent us several different designs to demonstrate possible options. Our builder commented on how well defined the drawings were and easy to understand. Steve was always available on the telephone to answer any questions and to come to our house to discuss the plans. We are delighted with the improvements that have been made to our home as a result of Steve's design and wouldn't hesitate to use him again should we have any future requirements.

Steve listened very carefully to our requirements and offered 3 very different ideas, enabling us to focus on what we did and didn’t want. Each visit and consultation was thought provoking, never rushed and extremely thorough. The level of detail in the final plans have enabled us to get some detailed pricing from builders and seamless interaction with our kitchen designer. Unknown to us at the time of choosing builders and kitchen designers, both had independently worked with Steve on other projects and have the same high regard for the practice and Steve’s attention to detail. Highly recommend.

From start to finish of our house renovation project Steve and the team at Knight Gratrix were incredibly helpful and professional. Steve created a design that has worked perfectly and we wouldn’t change anything. Knight Gratrix also project managed for us which proved to be a good decision and made for a seamless project delivery. Can highly recommend.
