Great service. Communication and updates at the highest standard. Had a few hiccups with our planning being approved but Swann Edwards came up with a solution for us and communicated that to everyone involved. Thank you

Engagement was good initially from Russell, really liked the design and progressed through to planning approval, although regularly needed to chase progress, very little un-initiated comms from SE. Building regs drawings is where the problems started with the design, 0.5m thick wall build ups, recommended struct engineer suggesting a different approach to ground works. Issues with material junctions, complexity at every level of the building from retaining wall foundations to stepped floor levels, huge roof structure, dormers & rooms in eaves, all of which added cost and complication. Following engagement of multiple contractors and an independent QS cost estimate was double the budget we gave to SE at start of project (price escalation partly responsible but nowhere near 100%) , scheme has now been abandoned. Its all well and good designing a good looking building but if its not buildable for remotely close to your budget, its a waste of time and your money.
