AEW Architects Wimbledon

Very detail orientated and focused on getting the customer great quality. Used as an architect and project manger on our building project

We used Seth Handley as architect and project manager when we had extensive work done to our house including a rear extension.Seth successfully achieved planning permission through a sophisticated use of altitude and azimuth charts to prove that there would be no loss of direct light to our neighbour's property.Seth's forensic eye for detail made sure any mistakes were spotted and rectified, including identifying a failed High Strength Friction Grip bolt connection for a primary beam before it was loaded and organising a welded connection instead. This would have been a critical error in the project.As both architect and project manager, Seth successfully steered the project through very challenging circumstances, persuading the contractor to work through COVID-19 which extended the programme by a further three months or so, but without seeking additional fees for himself. When any work package was delayed by the virus, Seth researched alternatives to get the project finished as quickly as possible.The project was built for the tender sum, with no dispute between us and the contractor, and we were delighted with the results. Seth was excellent in all respects as both an architect and project manager, and I can recommend his services wholeheartedly.

Re: HillsideThe design was prepared exactly as I wished. The service was good, helpful and polite. All aspectsof the project were handled with meticulous care.Any errors made by the contractor however minor were identified and corrected.The project finished on time and within budget.All these aspects made the project a relatively stress free experience.I would use AEW again.N.

Rang Seth as I wanted him to do designs for a flat I was buying. He rudely said he was too busy and that he wouldn't do any work for me (even if I paid him) before I had bought it.Stuck up and rude!

I was recommended to AEW Architects and I could not fault the service I received. Seth Handley who is an expert witness was extremely knowledgeable and professional and achieved amazing results.I would highly recommend him to any individual for his wonderful architectural services. His knowledge of building structure is outstanding particularly of older buildings which mine is.
