Cameron Bosque Brookes Architects Limited

Our trusted surveyor recommended CBB.We worked with Oliver who helped us design our extension and reconfigure our internal floor plan to make the most of the space. Very happy with the outcome. Oliver was responsive to telephone and email queries and had the know-how to navigate the planning process with us. We would use Oliver and CBB again in the future and would recommend them to friends, family and colleagues. More...

I had an outstanding experience working with Grant Cameron from Cameron Bosque Brookes Architects. From the first conversation, he was exceptionally kind, attentive, and genuinely listened to our needs and constraints. His approach was pragmatic and solution-oriented, consistently translating my vision into thoughtful, buildable designs without compromising on quality or aesthetics. Communication was seamless providing clear cost transparency and smart value-for-money. I would recommend them to anyone seeking a client-focused, reliable, and budget-conscious architect. More...

Ground floor extension (new kitchen, bedroom and living room) and upstairs reconfiguring of bedrooms so we could move in and care for my parents. True professional yet unlike other companies we had approached gave us a really personal experience. Took the time to understand what we wanted, but also worked with us to make sure we had what we actually needed. Showed us options we had not considered, where again other companies where happy to just tell us what we could not have. Highly recommend their services. Thank you for our new home. More...

CBBA are excellent. I highly recommend. A friend recommended CBBA, after using them. So I included them in the list of 5 architects to check out. CBBA were the only architect firm that gave me a quote that I could understand - clear, simple, concise and relevant. And they also had the best price. But what I liked the most about CBBA was their helpfulness and patience. It was clear that they really cared. Which came through in the design, as well as support through planning process. I really appreciated that. My only feedback is that I hope they can find a software tool that will help with clients like me that ask a lot(!) of questions LOL!. Eg an editable document where questions and comments can be logged and tracked. Mainly so that CBBA aren’t inundated with emails. Thanks again for everything Grant and Oliver!! More...

It’s been a pleasure working with both Grant and Oliver on several projects, including a residential HMO conversion on Newmarket Road and a commercial conversion on Mill Road, Cambridge. They’ve been consistently responsive, knowledgeable, and client-focused, always considering return on investment. Being local to Cambridge has also been a real asset when dealing with planning matters. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. More...

We've had a great experience with CBB Architects from the get-go. They provided us with great ideas and design in line with our expectations for our loft conversion project, which due to the nature of the property includes remodelling of the first floor space akin to a single storey extension on the first floor. In addition they did the design of a garden room (single storey ext to our dining space on the ground floor).Although I first found them via Google search, I am impressed and satisfied by the work Grant & his team have done for us. I would recommend them to anyone for the following reasons:1. Prompt, clear comms, fair and transparent pricing structure, knowledgeable & experts in the services they provide. Also, they are not pushy with sales, i.e. they have different packages at different price points, but they don't push the more expensive options to the clients, something that helps build trust.2. We wanted a modern design. A quick look at their portfolio suggested that they could be the right architecture consultancy for us. This belief quickly got validated after the first meeting with Grant, who diligently did all measurements and sketched ideas there itself, quite impressive!3. The final product (in terms of the design) looks very good. CBB did the initial Compliance level drawings for Planning. Then we also used their services for compliance level Building Regs drawings and Structural Calcs.4. We are about to begin construction work next week; the builder has provided good feedback about the drawings/documents as it enabled him to provide a robust quote.I hope that this comprehensive review allows people to have confidence in reaching out to Grant and CBB for any architecture design and consultancy work, you wouldn't be disappointed.Good luck!

We are very happy with the quality and timeliness of Grant's work. He turned my rough sketch into very well specified drawings, was very quick to correct a couple of minor typos, and additionally recommended and liaised with an excellent structural engineering firm.

Grant created plans for 5 executive dwellings on our piece of land and handled much of the planning aspects, particularly regarding clarifications required by the council's planning team. He has good experience of dealing with councils and knows how things have to be done in order to comply. He knew the surveys that would be required for this small scale development and shared his contacts for these. He was knowledgeable, professional and responsive. He was accommodating but would still tell us if something wouldn't work! Planning permission was granted so it was a job well done from our point of view as well as the council's. Thank you Grant!

We were recommended Cameron Bosque by the company who completed our building survey when we purchased our house in the Spring of 2024. From the outset Oliver Brookes showed real interest in our project and how he could deliver the build we hoped for, within a budget that suited our finances. He was open to discussion through the process, when the final plans were submitted to us and subsequently after we had paid our final invoice, which was very much appreciated. Like our surveyor Oliver was able to recommend a builder to us (a torturous task without referral), who has taken the same approach to delivering our project as we wished and within budget. A very reassuring experience. More...

We're very happy with the work, Grant was great, straight to the point to understand how we would use the space now and how it might evolve in the future.

Grant has been very helpful in planning our extension. I appointed him after talking with at least 5 architects. He is pretty responsive, easy to work with, and most importantly can be trusted to let you know when your choices are not realistic or impractical. And most importantly does not land you with ridiculous quotes, and happy to talk to you when you need his help. I would happily recommend his architectural design firm. More...

Thank you, Oliver, for your non- nonsense advice and gentle guidance as we navigated the local planning system. In the quest to gain extra space in our grade 2 listed cottage, there were some unique configuration challenges and some rather unkind prior development to overcome. Oliver understood exactly what we wanted to achieve in terms of functionality and aesthetics and helped us to work with the conservation officer's requirements to achieve a stunning design. More...

We recently engaged Cameron Bosque Brookes Architects for a two-storey rear extension project, and we couldn't be happier with the results. From the outset, Grant demonstrated a deep understanding of our needs and constraints, particularly with our garden's mature trees under protection orders. He skilfully navigated these challenges, presenting multiple design options that harmonized beautifully with the natural surroundings. The final design perfectly optimizes our available space while also being mindful of our budget. Grant's expertise was evident in every stage of the process, from the initial consultation to the final plans. His ability to balance functionality and aesthetics, was truly impressive. Communication throughout has been clear and consistent, ensuring we were always informed and comfortable with each decision. Grant not only met our expectations but exceeded them, delivering a design that will enhance our home and lifestyle for years to come. We highly recommend Grant and Cameron Bosque Brookes Architects to anyone seeking innovative, thoughtful, and professional architectural services. More...

This was my first time employing the services of an Architect, and not really knowing what to expect I was a little nervous about being given a ludicrous plan that I either didn't want or couldn't afford. My finances were the priority and naively I only had the TV programmes to go on, where everything seems to spiral out of control with bad planning. Grant was a straight talking godsend and listened to my ideas and my quirks, and offered great advice. I was worried that I would offend an architect if I didn't accept 'all' their ideas but Grant worked hard to make my ideas come alive and only really changed or offered alternatives with excellent reasoning, all the time explaining why I should or shouldn't. He made the process easy, taking care of all the planning submission and follow up, and kept me informed at every stage. The quote given at the beginning of this process didn't waver, and so I paid exactly what I had anticipated, which was so important to me. As I learned about alternatives during the build, Grant was on hand to advise what could and couldn't be changed within the criteria we had approved, and helped to submit a change which I needed approval for. My builders never had an issue with any of the drawings done, and the build went as smoothly as it could possibly have done during a pandemic. I can highly recommend Grant and Cameron Bosque Brookes Architects. They were a pleasure to deal with. More...

I highly recommend Oliver Brookes, talented and extraordinary architect. From start to finish his attention to detail on our house project was truly remarkable. Oliver has a special gift for understanding client's vision. He truly listened, took time to understand our preferences and budget. The end result was a design that not only captured our wishes but also exceeded them. Throughout the project, the communication was exceptional. Oliver was always accessible, promptly addressing any questions, ideas or concerns. What sets this architect apart is his boundless creativity, from the grand elements to the smallest feature the design was thoughtfully integrated into overall concept and we love our home every detail. Oliver's technical expertise is also remarkable, from the structural components to the choice of materials, his deep understanding of the technical aspects ensured that our house is not only visually stunning but is also built to the highest standard and functionality. I and my husband wholeheartedly recommend Oliver to anyone in search of an architect who can turn visions into reality. It was an absolute pleasure to work with him. More...

I got in touch with Grant Cameron about remodelling the house to get more light in. He is very reactive with messages and was great to communicate with to arrange the first visit.
