Searching for the perfect ‘architects near me’ to design a home project takes up considerable time.
From pricing to professionalism, and timeframes to transparency, there’s a lot to think about.
Here are ten reasons clients gave us top ratings in their reviews.
Just because we’re the architects, it doesn’t mean your new build, extension or commercial project is ours.
It’s yours, and throughout the process, our approach is to always listen to what your exact requirements are – then deliver them.
As David said in his review:
“Our project was to turn a tired 1970s bungalow into a house for modern living and to see us through the next 20 or so years.
“We’ve used architects before: some listen to what the client wants but offer little in terms of advice and innovation, some don’t listen and just do what they want!
“James and his colleagues took our brief and enhanced it just as we hoped.
“We have achieved amazing amounts of extra space and at all times Studio J listened, advised and encouraged.”
Having renovation work or a property modernisation completed often requires a compromise over your living arrangements.
So it’s crucial to stick to the agreed timeframes and get you back in your new or improved home, as fast as possible.
“James returned the completed plans within the agreed time frame and despite a few tweaks and amendments, we were blown away”, said Kelvin in his review.
“James had paid attention to our requirements and taste and also added features that we would not have thought of.
“He is knowledgeable and professional and not only did he deliver what we asked for, he exceeded our expectations.
You may already have Googled the phrase.
That’s because no matter how big the budget, value for money matters to every client. Just as much as the vision.
While all of our prices are bespoke, we also make sure there are no hidden costs, starting by providing an initial consultation and quote.
As Tristan said in his review: “Initial site visits, measuring up, drawings and discussions were undertaken quickly by his friendly team and James has been very attentive in finalising plans we’re happy with despite a handful of changes/talks.
“We particularly liked that fees were fixed in sensible stages at a competitive rate.”
Know exactly what you want from your home, but not how to secure the transformation?
That’s what we are here for.
No matter the challenge, our team of experts will use their creative knowledge to solve any problem and produce inspirational designs.
As Simon said in his review of our architects in Wakefield: “James always thinks outside the box to come up with innovative ways to achieve the desired outcome.”
Plans sometimes have to change. Yes, even architectural ones.
When they do, our team is agile and can rapidly and meticulously adapt designs.
“It was amazing how they came up with different ideas when we had to change the designs”, said Usman in their review.
Transparency is one of our priorities, and this integrity keeps clients coming back or ensures they recommend us to others.
We will always give upfront advice, even if it means no business for us this time.
“James was honest, helpful and unbiased”, said Ben in his review of our advice.
The planning process can be arduous and stressful. Let us shoulder that burden.
Our team is in regular communication with clients, and we’re always happy to answer extra queries to remove any concerns you may have.
We’ll guide you through the intricacies of planning applications, liaise with other services and provide alternative perspectives.
As Chris said in his review: “It was clear from the outset that James was friendly, professional and reliable.
“His communication throughout was excellent.
“He was always happy to answer the numerous queries I had through the project and give good, practical advice when asked.”
We’re not a faceless, corporate giant.
Our small team knows just how important the little details about your home project are. We spend time making sure you understand everything that is taking place – and why.
As Iftekhar said in his review: “What made Studio J even more outstanding to me is their keen attention to their clients’ requirements.
“The team is calm, composed and takes time to explain details to their clients.
“I was always given undivided attention and treated as a valued client.”
Another benefit of our small team of Leeds architects is that we work seamlessly together for maximum productivity.
Rob said in his review: “James and the team were very fast and efficient in coming to our home and drawing up some plans for our loft conversion with a fitted staircase.”
Our experts are people too, and we love to connect with the people behind our projects.
You’ll find us to be personable, as well as supportive, reliable and customer focused.
As Tania said in her review: “James was attentive and friendly, always checking in with us to make sure we were happy with the progress of things.
“And with Studio J, we felt a lot more secure in going ahead with renovations.”
