Testimonials

Residential client

Staffordshire

We were recommended by our longstanding builders to consult with Alexander James Associates about our plans to redevelop an old property we had just bought.

From the beginning they were bright and enthusiastic and gave us real confidence about their ability to come up with a great design that would be in tune with our thinking. We were not disappointed, the plans were exactly what we were looking for, they had caught our vision entirely, and even added some of their own flair to the design. They have stayed close through the planning process and dealt with a number of small challenges and amendments along the way. The end result is great, just what we all imagined!

Everybody loves our new home, and we are delighted to have now engaged them to work with us again on our next exciting development - you should definitely speak to them about yours!

Residential client

Lichfield, Staffordshire

Alexander James Associates provided planning drawings, advice and assisted with the planning application process for my house extension and refurbishment.

I was delighted with the friendly, relaxed but highly professional and informative service offered. The price agreed represented very good value for the service and information received.

They have good attention to detail and really brought some "value added" to my project. Very impressed, excellent work and I would not hesitate to use Alexander James Associates again. A certain recommendation to other potential clients too.

Well done Alexander James Associates! Thank you.

Construction company

Staffordshire

We hired Alexander James Associates post planning permission to undertake working drawings and specification production, alongside building control submission for a new build and refurbishment development with a gross development value of approximately £900k.

They were easy to work with and represented extremely good value for money. We would (and have) recommend them to other professionals or domestic clients. They were always available to discuss the project and they have always been willing to discuss other ideas and projects as they arise.

We hope to work with them again in the future!

Residential client

Lichfield, Staffordshire

Thank you for much for your excellent ideas, plans and vision.

We have exactly what we wanted and more - a bright, airy, spacious design which is sympathetic to our Victorian house but with a modern twist.

We love it!
