Compass Design Studio

We used Alex's services and I can really say that she excelled in every detail. From the initial assessment and measurements of the spaces until the delivering of the drawings she had a very professional and friendly approach. She also had an excellent communication with the builders and was available to answer queries about the drawings. One of the things that surprised us was the precision and quality of the drawings. They were also easy to understand by us who aren't experts in building drawings, etc. All the plans were done following local council guidance and she showed an excellent knowledge of the current building regulations, so she was open and clear to let us know what could or could not be done or included in our extension. We would certainly recommend her to anyone and if in need of future works for ourselves we wouldn't be looking for anyone else. Thank you very much.

I was introduce to Alexandra trough a friend and after speaking to her I knew that she could help with my kitchen renovation, I invited her to see our kitchen and she had some great ideas which I loved, she then did the survey and existing and proposed drawings. When the kitchen renovation started she came several times to check that the contractors were carrying out the works as per the design. She was always available if I or the builder had any questions. She oversaw the whole renovation process. A couple of year later I wanted to do my loft conversion. I called her again and She helped me to apply for the Building regulation. She provided all the drawings for the different specialists that came to undertake the different tasks as I decided not to use a builder. I was amazed how quickly she understood my ideas and transformed them into the plans of my loft conversion. Currently I am in the process of doing my rear extension and she has also provided the drawings for this new project. Before doing the drawings she provided different options and I was happy with the final design. Her planning and attention to detail is impeccable, she was and is available for any questions and reassured me if I had any doubts. She really exceeded my expectations and I will continue using her for my futures projects.

We have used Compass Design Studio for various work over the last 4 years both in our own home and projects (5m rear extension, internal re-configuration of stairs, Gym outbuilding to name a few!). We find that Alex takes time to listen to what we want to achieve, gives us her technical view point and also some excellent practical view points. The builders also enjoy working along side her. We have recommended Alex to a number of friends that have used Compass Design Studio and they have been as pleased we as we have. I would have no hesitation is using Compass Design Studio again and recommending them.

Excellent service from start to finish. I really enjoyed my experience working with Alexandra. I felt I could always call at any time and ask for advice. In the future I will only use compass design studio for any building works that I decide to do. Thank you again. Ben

I was introduced to Alex from a friend as when I saw what she had designed for him I knew I wanted to use her. From our first telephone conversation I could tell she was listening to my ideas but she also had some great suggestions. After coming to measure and having a good look round we discussed various options from either extending or just internal alterations. Alex sent over the first set of plans, which I then studied and went back with some alterations of my own. Alex then sent over some computer aided designs showing how my rooms would look in 3d. I then realised what I wanted would not look as good in real life. Having discussed it again with Alex she sent me over some new drawings which I pondered on for a week or so. Again we discussed the drawings on the phone and by email. Once everything was agreed work commenced. Alex was always available to help if the builder had any questions. She kindly helped with Building Control, recommended a structural engineer and helped on all complicated matters that I just didn’t understand. Alex also helped me with Thames Water when a new water supply was required and also helped me with the council when applying for off street parking and a dropped kerb. Now my property is finally finished I cannot thank her and her expertise enough. I have since recommended her to two of my friends and they too are very pleased with her help and advice.

I have worked with Alex on many projects and found her to be professional and helpful. She takes great pride in her designs and looks after her clients.
