Going into the project we had a clear idea of the look that we were wanting to achieve. In our first meeting with Neil it was immediately clear that he totally understood our aesthetic and he had many inspiring ideas that would ultimately enhance and realise the design.
Neil was key to driving this project forward; he was extremely helpful and proactive during the tender process, always available to advise when required and understanding in terms of our priorities. During the build he was in constant touch with us and the builder, overseeing and checking the work, ensuring deadlines were met and workmanship was to the highest standard.
Our project was complex; the house being in a conservation area, and with many local sensitivities. Neil handled all issues with a degree of professionalism and empathy, which certainly made the project move forward as smoothly as possible.
Neil is without question one of the most thorough, dedicated, passionate and approachable people we have worked with. He is an ultimate professional and we would be delighted to collaborate with him again. The house turned out to be more beautiful than we could ever have expected and it makes us proud that this was such a collaborative process. - Erica Swinkels
