Our experience of working with James was very positive from the start to finish. He listened to us and gave us numerous options to choose from as we looked at a full remodel with structural changes and a small extension. He was open to our suggestions but had a full understanding as to what may or may not work with planning and conservation limitations locally. His plans were clear and easy to understand. He submitted a Pre application to planning which was well written and produced. He worked in a very timely manner and kept us up to date by email which we really appreciated. In person we found him to be professional, personable and approachable. We would highly recommend him. Mr and Mrs Hewitson.

After moving in to an Edwardian property in Billericay Essex, James assisted us with our ideas to get them all within drawings to send off to council planning, which got approval. Big thank you James for getting everything done for us. Would certainly recommend his work.

James Howel was recommended to me by a friend, which gave me immediate confidence. He redesigned a substantial extension and refurbishment after a previous proposal was rejected at pre-application stage. James took a fresh approach while maintaining our original objectives, and his supporting narrative helped secure full approval first time. He has been responsive and supportive throughout, and I would have no hesitation in recommending his services.

James drew up plans for our extension. He listened to what we were looking for and help with suggestions highlighting some things we hadn't thought of. Thanks James
