BGA Architects - Leigh-on-Sea

Nik S.

We found BGA through the RIBA website after submitting details of the project. They were helpful from the first contact & we elected to allow them to manage the project, organising & advising on planning, structural engineers & builders, enabling us to make the required decisions. The site meetings were helpful & informative, professional but friendly. Russell was hands on & responsive, & unforeseen problems were dealt with promptly. Thoroughly recommend BGA architects!

Having an idea to redevelop our residential property site, we contacted Russell of BGA.
With Russell’s help, feasibility options were developed. Followed by site investigations, a feasibility option was shoe horned into the site plan and was fine tuned into designed drawings for Local Authority planning approval. After some alterations to the design, the Local Authority planning approval was agreed, all via Russell and his team.
The site is now for sale with re-development approvals.

I contacted Russell at BGA to help us with the design and planning application of a new office. The service provided in meeting our requirements from the initial meeting, design stage, planning permission process right up to completion of the building was fantastic. What made it exceptional was the time and guidance in the communication with the planning department to ensure an approved plan and working with the builders to completion. Thank you.

The team at BGA have been fantastic. We've worked with them for over a year to develop multiple designs as our requirements evolved. They have been patient throughout, advising and providing alternatives to finally come up with a design that ticked our requirements. It was a pleasure to work with Russell, Peter, Jasmine and Robert.

We appointed BGA for our ground floor rear, side, and 1st storey side extension, loft conversion, and complete internal alterations.

When searching for our architect, we were looking for someone who understood our design requirements as well as our spacial needs. We found this in Russell! After meeting with him and viewing BGA's portfolio, we were most confident with appointing them.

Russell has been professional, forward thinking, informative, not to mention patient and a pleasure to work with! We are extremely happy with the overall design, as he made sure all the features we were hoping for were incorporated. Also worth mentioning is that the drawings provided have been highly complimented by builders and others who have seen them.

Thank you also to Robert for all the input and fantastic technical drawings!

Russell has been great from the start, being professional and communicative throughout the whole process so far. I feel he really understood my vision. I'm really happy with the final design and the outcome of it being approved, and look forward to the next steps of the project!

We connected with Peter at BGA the first time he visited us and discussed options to re-model our home to suit a growing family. He listened to our needs and came up with a mix of initial proposals both conservative and more radical. He was extremely patient with us as we honed down to a final design and helped us get through all the documentation required for planning and building regulations. We were delighted to welcome Peter back last week to see the finished project now we are using our fantastic new layout.

We still can't believe it's our home (it's so much of an improvement to the dark and aging interior we had before), and the BGA design has brought light, into the previously dark centre of the house, and a modern layout that works perfectly for our family now and into the future. Thank you Peter for all your ideas and advice along the way, very much appreciated.

The BGA team has provided us with great service at short notice. We contacted BGA after we had multiple issues and resulting delays with another architect. The BGA team were onsite measuring up our house and garden within 2 weeks of first contact.
We wanted help with design and planing approval for a loft conversion and ground floor extension. Peter from BGA was very knowledgeable and provided us with opinions and suggestions to find best design. They then created designs and in room mock ups and helped submit for planing application.
With so much delay on our project so far it was good to know BGA was now working with us and had our back.
BGA are reasonably priced and outline their services individually so you can pick/choose what you require. We went with cheapest architect a few years ago and this mistake has lead to huge delay and cost.
Make a good decision with a good architect at the beginning. With hindsight we didnt realise how much this sets out direction for rest of the project and is such a worthwhile investment. You pay for what you get.
Thanks again to Peter and team!
