BISCHELL

Previously came across when my Client [ a developer ] needed to get drawings done for a split of property into 2 flats. The previous plans where not great and they caused us may issues onsite. As a builder I can adapt but it help when plans are good.My client set me with the task of finding a new design team that also carried out engineering services. I found Bischell.The project went well and they were used again in the next development. I worked well with the team to get the drawings I needed, the engineer was a little slow but the details where really good.The reason I am posting this is that I recently managed to exchange in a property in Dartford and I only had Bischell in mind for my project due to the drawings I had previously received and used for the builds.Now I was the main client, lol. It was great working with the team and getting all my plans very quickly as I was nervous about wasting time now I had the keys. They sent Annie [ Architect ] to me within the next day and all the set was done by the end of the week.During the process I found there was a potential to avoid one beam so they modified the drawings to suit this site condition.Very happy.Will send photos when its done!

Fantastic job redesigning the internal layout of our property in Watford. Works so much better now. Great knowledge of planning and great advice and workmanship throughout. Would not hesitate to recommend Bischell. Thank you

Had Bishell do our structural calculations and drawings.They were very thorough and efficient.Good value and unlike others and always there to get amendments done so the project didn't get held up.Highly recommendedThanks

I was recommended Bischell through a colleague of mine who had their kitchen beautifully extended so we decided to contact them about a possible loft conversion and we could not be happier. The plans were produced quickly, accurately and I really felt they took on board our concerns and ideas, parts that were not feasible were given other alternatives and they really put us at ease during this process. We are delighted with the results from beginning to the end finish. Highly recommended and would definitely use again, many thanks guys

Do not use this Company. They have taken money off a customer then employed a sub contactor (us) to do the work and when we wanted paying, they put us in contact with the customer direct to request payment. He was appalled with our approach, quite rightly, has he had already settled with Bischell. After many none answered phone calls and emails we still have not been paid.

0 Stars! Avoid them like the plague as they don't pay there bills. Even after responding to emails, Annie and Prado had advised paying the £3,000 completion invoice for the installation of an MVHR system, but have since avoided paying now over 380 days later and don't answer our calls.Absolutely appalling, and a disgrace on the construction industry.

Filipe did an amazing job of helping us out of a really sticky situation that our previous architect left us in. He suggested many excellent solutions and designs to get the job successfully moving on. He was also available to assist the builders to confirm any questions/ concerns throughout the project. I would highly recommend Filipe/Bischell for any future work and also wish I used them earlier in the project

During the unforeseen death of my father, I was inherited his estate. Which Bischell had previously done conceptual drawings for the build.Upon trying to retain ownership I found myself in the unfortunate situation that my father had carried out works by splitting into flats and creating a habitable space in the garden. The main house was 2 years ago and the outbuilding was 10+ years ago.I was worried and did not know how to turn to, so I contacted Bischell and came to know that the build was carried out ahead of the correct consents and against the architects advise. As it was done on a building notice the works were checked as they went along independent of the planning situation.I tried to contact the builder that carried out the works but they where no longer in business, so my only thread of contact was Bischell, and they were almost as much in the dark as I was. Luckily Felipe sensed my worry offered to help. I sent him the enforcement letter and he carried out site visit to inspect which saved me the 400-mile round trip from Bradford, but more importantly I was able to feel some comfort. After the inspection he advised on the best course of action, and I followed it.Just when we thought we are ok reinstating the house the email now stated any other buildings, which meant I had to leave it as technically its been over 10+ years it’s no longer enforceable or take it down. I discussed it with Bischell and proceed accordingly on this also.It was good to have a local team to guide me through this as I live so far away.

We have now been living in our new build house in Gerrard's Cross for over a year and Bischell recently got in contact to request the retainer which we had agreed to be paid after 6 months, but they kindly extended to 12 as I was very nervous any problems would come up and they would be too busy to come back. We put all our savings into this project and looking back we are glad to put our trust in Bischell as the main contractor. They managed all the subcontractors including some of my own suppliers to (save on costs), with great professionalism. We had a few bumpy moments along the way but they handled all the challenges with great integrity.

Planning permission approved to convert my house to 2 flats! Now completed and look great! Thanks.’
