Testimonials

We have employed David on two occasions. Firstly to design a kitchen extension and secondly to adapt our sun room including the replacement of the polycarbonate roof with a lantern light.

On both occasions David has been responsive with his designs which captured the briefly perfectly. Would not hesitate to recommend.

David Babister was recommended to us when we were looking to have an extension built.

We contacted Espresso Architecture and were pleasantly surprised how quick David responded. From the very first conversation we felt we were in safe hands for our work. The experience in dealing with our type of extension came clearly through in the discussions. We engaged Espresso to be our architect and also recommended them to our neighbour who were doing the same.

From the start, we had clear guidance and costs so no nasty surprises. The designs were good. We made a few changes here and there until we were ready to apply for planning permission. We were kept up to date through the process and planning permission was granted.

David also recommended a building contractor to us that he had used numerous times. This proved to be a good move and we engaged the building contractor for our work. The build went well – David kept us up to date with any minor changes etc.

We have a very nicely built extension and we appreciate very much all the hard work that went on behind the scenes. We sent lots of questions by e-mails to David during this process. He always answered these quickly and efficiently so we weren’t kept waiting long.

All in all, we were very pleased with the service offered by David at Espresso Architecture.

We have recommended to others already. If ever any potential clients need a reference, we would be happy to do so.
