Bluelime Home Design

Bluelime have been very helpful and considerate as we embark on our first building project. In particular, Ali made helpful and insightful additions to help finalise the plan. They focused on what we wanted and came up with a design that worked well.

Updated Review: My original review (below) was written at the point of planning submission - I gave the service 5 stars because the designer who worked on my drawing had great communication and the vision for my project was great. I still stand by that. HOWEVER: It's important to know that reviews are incentivised with M&S vouchers and are requested prematurely in my opinion. Please don't make my mistake and judge an architects design until it has been realised. The architects carried out a full site survey and designed a loft bathroom with shower, sink and toilet. On the plan it looked fabulous but in reality there was nowhere near enough headroom for what they had drawn. Their design assumed that residents could navigate around the furniture with a head height of 150cm (5ft). The whole area had to be redesigned by myself and my contractors - Bluelime refused to take any responsibility and the error cost me an additional 3,000. There were other issues that came up but each time Bluelime conveniently covered themselves with small print. Whatever excuses Bluelime tries to give, I think it's unforgivable for a design to be completely impossible to execute. Tweaks and adjustments I could accept but this was ridiculous, especially with a full site survey and access to the loft space from the start, this is incompetence at its finest. Just to add, my next door neighbour submitted similar plans created by Resi architects, they used the same contractors and had no issues at all. I did so much research when selecting an architect and one of the reasons I chose Bluelime was because of their great reviews. This was an expensive and extremely stressful lesson. To give 100% transparency this was my original 5 star review: My experience with the Blue Lime team so far has been great. I'm currently at the the end of the initial design stage, about to submit the drawings for planning approval. Dana has done a great job finding workable solutions to a few challenges I had. Communication is swift and professional at all times and I'm hopeful and confident that the remainder of the process will be equally stress-free. Very much looking forward to seeing her work come to fruition at the build stage in the near future.

A big thank you to Gaetano our designer. He has been great to work with and has come up with some fab ideas for our property. He listened to our ideas and implemented our feedback on designs and achieved something better than we thought possible. Looking forward to continuing to work with Bluelime to complete our build.

We picked Bluelime because they paid attention to our needs and seemed to go the extra mile. They came and looked at our home, discussed what we wanted and was prompt in getting the ball rolling. Our architect, Bryan has made some good suggestions, which we have considered and he has been friendly and approachable too. He has been informative on the next stage both in meetings and emails and has answered any queries.
