Customer reviews
Acre offer a flat fee, to give level, wise and impartial advice in a way that was measured to fit us as clients. Highly recommend.
Our project has daunted us in many ways but Alistair has always been on hand to allay any concerns we had. He has been incredibly helpful, full of ideas and specialist advice throughout the process.
Our extension has now been granted planning permission and building control approval. Thanks to Acre Design this is looking so much better than anything we could possibly have imagined.
Having had other architects out who wouldn't even entertain what I had envisioned, meeting Alistair at the property was like a breath of fresh air! From the get-go, Alistair was attentive to my ideas and his vast knowledge of regulations and planning, having worked in Building Control, coupled with his desire to make them work was commendable.
An initial consultation, taking measurements and drawing plans, followed by a meeting to discuss the options, Acre Design have been brilliant, knowledgeable and, importantly, approachable too. They keep you in the driving seat whilst being realistic in what is achievable and will take the seed in your mind for your project, as they did mine, and show you possibilities and options you hadn't thought about.
As part of the Needs & Options Review, I was given access to my own personal online 'Mood Board' and this was brilliant. It enabled me to showcase ideas I found to the team and see what the team were thinking of too. Alistair found some wonderful inspiration for my project with materials and construction techniques I hadn't considered.
In the long run, it is easy to see why a Needs & Options Review with Acre Design will save you money. Changes to plans and practicalities of your design done at this early stage is way more cost effective against needing to make adjustments when you have full architectural plans drawn up. I won't hesitate to use Alistair and his team again and again. I recommend you call them too.
