Box Valley Architectural Design - Ipswich

Geoff Harris

We employed John of Box Valley Architectural Design to carry out the architectural work on an extension to our detached house.
We are completely satisfied with the job that he did. John listened to what we required, provided his own ideas and talked us through the planning and other processes. He liaised successfully with the building contractors and the structural engineer and contributed significantly to us ending with the improvement to our house that we wanted and had hoped for. It certainly helped that John had worked on a very similar project locally all be it with some tweaks. I would have no hesitation is using John again in the future.

John was so patient and helpful in our project. Right from the word go! He listened, advised. We changed our mind many times about what we wanted. But each time he supported us and went with us.
It was a slightly more complex project due to deep drainage and a small space. But we got there, and have made really great use of the space we do have.
He got all the plans drawn up and submitted. Advised us with builders, building control and structural engineers.
We are delighted with our final result!
Saved us moving house!!
Cannot recommend John enough!
5 stars. 10/10!!

We would highly recommend John’s architectural services. He listened very patiently and carefully to our extensive wishes for our barn conversion and provided us with a great design that fulfilled all of our hopes and requirements. Our planning application process was very protracted and problematic throughout and we were very grateful for John, whose help in navigating the difficult journey and in finally achieving full approval was invaluable.

John was able to secure planning permission for our conversation project without any stipulations. He drew up plans taking our needs and wishes into account and was always knowledgeable, reliable and considerate. Would recommend without hesitation.

I used John at Box Valley to help with a decking project at Hadleigh Cricket Club, he converted some preliminary sketches into an amazing set of CGI presentations which helped with the both the planning application (which he handled for us) and also to get the support of the club members for the project design. He also had to work to a tight timescale to be the right side of a grant application deadline. I couldnt recommend his services more highly.

I whole heartedly recommend John. I first met him on a work project and was so impressed, I sought his help for a project at home. John is very knowledgeable, listens to your needs and comes up with great solutions and is very adept at dealing with some of the inevitable challenges of gaining planning permission these days.

I worked with John on a project to convert some space in our house into something more usable and I found John to be diligent, responsive and consistently helpful.

After initially reviewing our options, John came up with an alternative recommendation for how we could use the space, and the result is something even better than we had initially considered. We now have a home that feels much better suited to our needs, and we love the new space we have.

I couldn't recommend John highly enough, and I wouldn't hesitate to use him again. I also though his pricing was very fair and reasonable.

We were recommended to use John by a builder for a two storey extension to our family home. John has been fantastic, approachable and professional all the way through the process and has always been very prompt and clear with what needs to be done when. We would not hesitate to use him again.
