Building Designers in Colchester, Essex, UK

“We highly recommend Is and Ren Studios Ltd for all your renovation needs. This company from directors to workers are professional, trustworthy and friendly. They kept to deadlines and worked very well with other contractors. ABOUT US We are a family with two young children and were looking to extend into our loft space to create an extra bedroom/bathroom, knock down a wall between the kitchen and back living room to create an open L shape kitchen/dining area (also a refresh of the kitchen) as well as general decorating around the house. PLANNING STAGE The directors of Is and Ren Studios Ltd, Isil and Renato came to see us. They listened to our needs and managed expectations. They worked with our budget to provide us a quote which was very reasonable. They were on hand to offer design and decorating advice throughout the project. The Works The rate at which work was completed was astounding. Various professionals would come and go after completing their jobs with minimal destruction. The builders worked through heavy rain and tough structural issues to ensure our vision was met. These guys are meticulous in everything they do and strive for perfection. We had a site visit almost every day by the site manager who would talk to us about the day and what was happening over the next few days. Our concerns (very few) were treated in a friendly manner, any issues were quickly resolved. The Workers Through the project the children got to know the builders, plasterers, plumbers, electrician. What a friendly bunch!! They would say hello to the children but always kept a respectful distance when we were also in the home. They were always on time and worked long hours to meet deadlines. We trusted them so much we gave them a house key. OUTCOME Aside from the works we especially LOVE: - the layout of the loft bedroom/ bathroom - bespoke handmade TV unit and book shelf - the curves plastered under the new staircase to create a beautiful flow through the old and new area of the house We are so so happy with all the work Is and Ren Studios Ltd have carried out in our home. They've gone above and beyond what we imagined - they really do make dreams come true and we cannot recommend this company enough. If you require any work done to your home or business premises then Is and Ren Studios Ltd is the company to call.”

“Marina and Team have been a pleasure to work with. They have helped navigate us through the various steps, providing us helpful advice and high quality work along the way. They have made a complex and foreign process much more manageable and have helped us make decision with confidence. I would highly recommend Wer Design.”

“Graham was very patient, thoughtful and helpful on our design/build and dealt well with responding to last minute requests.”

“Very good and responsive communication. Great company overall and quality of work is excellent. The guy they sent was very good he neatly finished off the bardly cut tile edges by our tiller with a smooth and neat finish of mastic and now i couldn't be more happier.”

“I contacted a few companies to request technical drawings to support my planning application for installation of a window or sun tunnel within my windowless stairwell. I was repeatedly knocked back due to the fact that this was considered a 'job too small'. Thankfully, Andrew May at Room-by-Room responded to my plea for assistance. Andrew promptly came to talk about both options and advised me on how to navigate the correct procedure to gain planning consent at my lease hold residence. Andrew provided the specific drawings required, liaised with the planning office on my behalf and also recommended a reputable local roofing firm to complete the job. Steady progress was made through to consent for the installation and Andrew communicated with me well throughout the process. The resulting sun tunnel surpasses all of my expectations! I'm so pleased to have received Andrew's service, without which, I'd probably still be standing at the first hurdle!”

“We have worked with Plan Works on a large and complex full house refurbishment, extension and loft conversion. Drawings done by Tomasz were to very high technical standard, very creative and maximised the space available allowing client to achieve full potential of their property. Would highly recommend for creativity and detail and looking forward to working on the next project with him.”

“Very professional and personable throughout. We have ended up with a kitchen design that makes excellent use of the space available to us. My husband and I were very impressed at how our original kitchen concept was listened to and then adapted to end up with a design that fully met our brief. Every question was answered quickly, the design was provided within days and Tim clearly has decades of experience which helped us overcome all our design hurdles. We would fully recommend this service.”

“Not cheap, but delivered great quality and the project was managed by an associate director and a director. They hired in specific people who were good at what they do, to do specific jobs. Would highly recommend them!”
