  Designs for Planning and Building Control

  Posted 20 May

  Barnaby from The Design Social worked with us on our building project to put together plans which were submitted to both Planning and Building Control. He was great to work with throughout the whole process. He was extremely efficient and knowledgeable, gave us some great new ideas, and was always quick in getting back to us on any queries. He also really kept the project moving, keeping us updated with progress, and helping us get to the point where our plans have now been approved and we can move forward with our builder.

  Utility and washroom extension

  Posted 16 April

  Barnaby and his team, have gone above and beyond with helping us design and submit planning permission on our extension. With fast communication, reasonable fees, helpful knowledge and advice we managed to have planning permission in a speedy time frame ready for building work to commence. Thank you again for all your help.

  Garage Conversion

  Posted 21 February

  We used The Design Social to design a garage conversion to a bedroom and ensuite bathroom. Barnaby was open to discussions on different ideas, and came up with a cabinet design to solve a conflict with existing fixtures (see picture.) They also arranged quotes with builders they had worked with previously, and throughout the process kept tabs with them and also building control, solving the issues that invariably arise with such projects. Overall we are very pleased with the design and the results. Would have no hesitation in recommending. 5*

  Garden annex

  Posted 12 February

  The design social team have been brilliant. I've never had any work done so I had no idea where to start or what to expect or do but Barnaby was great, he answered my seemingly endless questions and explained everything to me. He helped me from start to finish with the planning application, the design work and everything in between! Will be using them again when (if) we decide on an extension in the future! Thanks for everything!

  Single Storey Ground Floor Extension

  Posted 05 February

  Barnaby was recommended by my neighbour and he was everything she said he was. I was a complete novice so he really did have to 'take my by the hand' and talk me through the process and costs of Design, Planning, Building Regs, Building Control etc. He was also able recommend builders to quote the work. He responded to all my queries promptly and with the utmost patience. I can highly recommend him and his company. A true gentleman in my view.
