Be the first to leave a review for RB Design Essex Ltd.
What do you love most about your job?
Meeting new people, fulfilling their dreams and talking to planners and consultants to get the best for the client.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Family and friends often asked would I draw up survey plans and design an extension to their house for them. I then developed RB Design Essex Ltd which has grown steadily to the business it is today. Furthermore, we have a passion for good design and a functional style of architecture, which has good aesthetics.
Why should our clients choose you?
We are small and friendly. The person you meet initially is the person drawing your project from inception to completion. We are friendly and approachable, I like to help people imagine their ideal scenario within the limitations of planning laws and work to realistic budgets. Moreover I work to provide good value, well presented thorough drawings from reasonable fees, from the initial meeting to turning the key on your dream home.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes.. nearly all of our services can be via email or phone call, within reason. We do need to measure and inspect the property.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
We initially altered our visit protocol, to be external only, May 2020. Occasionally, we wear a Covid-19 mask, to keep vulnerable people protected in particular. It is important to wait until everyone is well, before performing a measured survey.
Introduction to Architectural Services
We go above and beyond the normal level of service experienced by most. We like to immerse ourselves in the build and help guide you in your decision making and help support you to minimise your stresses and worries... after all, we all lead very busy lives and a stressful, unsupported build can make for a worrying time. We are here to look after your ideas and nurture them to grow into the reality you realistically need. Please call us on 07854504082 to discuss how we can help you.
Feasability
We will often perform a feasibility check over the phone, with further inspection on site during the initial visit to establish the planning parameters and practicalities of the project.
Measured Survey
The provision of a survey on site to establish the detailed plans, sections and elevations of the existing property.
Design
Provision of sketches and a scheme for the client to consider. The final scheme will be worked on to prepare the drawings for planning submission.
We think a good drawing often tells a thousand words...
Building Regulations
Drawings which are technical based with sufficient information to pass building control / local authority approval. These plans are checked for structural integrity, control of fire, sanitary requirements...etc...etc.
Tender Package
The company provides a tender list of documentation and further drawings, schedules and details for accurate pricing via a set of builders. Often referred to as "going out to Tender".
Detailed Specification
Generally for larger projects, for example: two storey extensions, remodelling of a house with extensive re-decoration, or finishes changes, as well as refurbishments or where smaller projects require kitchens and bathrooms to be completely changed / overhauled and upgraded.
Overseeing the Build
We are always delighted when our clients ask us to oversee the build and we can provide a formal arrangement with the contractor via a contract.
Practical Completion and Snagging
Our services include signing off the build post building control final inspection. We also snag buildings usually 6 months later to ensure the build lives up to expectations.
