Blend Architects Ltd

We received a great design service from Dale at Blend Architects and will be using his services on our upcoming projects.

Dale designed our 2 story side extension and carport/garage with various constraints which made his job much more difficult. It was a friendly and easy process with many options being investigated. Dale guided the whole process through the design and planning expertly both saving us money and time. The best thing I'd say is I'd happily work with Dale again!

We hired Dale at Blend Architects to design our 2 story side and single story rear extension. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Dale, he provided expert guidance and insight throughout the whole process, dealing with all of our requirements in the most timely and professional manner I have ever experienced. He is innovative, patient and has an exceptional attention to detail.Dale made the process of gaining planning permission totally stress free and has seamlessly incorporated structural engineer specifications into the plans.I would have no hesitation in recommending Dale at Blend Architects Ltd for any building project you are considering.

We hired Dale to help us realise our dreams of redesigning our home and adding a bold, 1.5-storey extension to take advantage of our sloping site. We like bold, quirky design, and Dale understood our brief right from the start and was able to convert our ideas into reality.Initial communication was rapid and clear, and Dale’s quotation for the scheme was transparent, breaking down each of the stages. On appointment, Dale visited our property (within a week or so) to take measurements and produce drawings of the existing property. Next followed a series of design ideas that brought our ideas to life – he listened carefully to our brief and added value at every stage of the process. Dale’s drawings and photorealistic images were of excellent quality and really helped us fully appreciate the space designed. Dale managed the planning application process and the scheme gained approval without issue. Dale then produced full building regulations drawings (technical design) as part of the brief.In addition to the above, Dale recommended specialist tree surveyors and structural engineers required to support the planning application and technical design, respectively. We were very pleased with both the quotations obtained on our behalf and the quality of the work undertaken by these companies.Towards the end of the process, Dale really went above and beyond to obtain quotations for specific elements of the build (windows / doors / steel work) and obtain samples of wood cladding / roof tiles / and beautiful aluminium rainwater goods! We were very pleased with both the high quality of these recommendations and the very competitive quotations obtained.Dale’s communication was rapid and clear throughout the process, and he updated us regularly on the progress of each stage. When decisions were required of us, Dale clearly explained what and when was required, and always provided a series of recommendations (which in our case, were right on the mark)! We felt at ease throughout the entire process.We are delighted with the quality of the service provided by Dale and highly recommend him without hesitation. (Indeed, we have recommended him to friends who are equally happy).Demolition is currently underway :-)

My wife and I have really enjoyed working with Blend. Dale was great from the first meeting, where he listened to our requirements and provided insightful feedback to steer the conversation. Throughout the design process he has been highly responsive, demonstrated a thorough knowledge of his trade and the construction process/products and produced work of absolutely brilliant quality. We would not hesitate to recommend or engage Blend again.

Dale has been absolutely brilliant whilst helping me with my project. He was instrumental in getting me planning permission on my property and did all the leg work for me. Communication throughout was great and I couldn't recommend his services highly enough.

Dale took all our ideas into consideration and came up with a great solution that we would never have thought of. He was patient with our questions and explained the process fully to us. Dale's drawings were given planning permission on first submission. Great service, really happy we found him.

A very professional Architect's practice providing high quality design service. Dale's attention to detail and quality of service is second to none.

Dale at Blend Architects did an excellent job of designing our single story extension, he also advised on the type of planning required and took care of the entire process. I would highly recommend Blend and will be using them for any future projects.
