Testimonials
Glenn’s design of our house extension was amazing. Our lifestyle at home will be so much better now being able to entertain using our new open plan kitchen/diner. With a growing family the additional bedrooms, ensuites and playroom have proved a real winner for our children. Glenn totally got what we wanted and designed our house with a real focus on functionality and use. We would not hesitate in recommending his services.'
- Nick Lyons, Hill Crescent, Bexley'We really needed more space for our 2 boys and our existing conservatory area wasnt really working for us. Glenn came to us on recommendation and has been a pleasure to work with. Glenn totally understood what we needed and came up with some really good ideas and various design options. He explained clearly how the whole process worked and really took on total responsibility so we did not need to worry about anything. Now we will have an amazing new house with large open plan Kitchen Diner and Island unit we always dreamed of. Our boys not only have their own En-suites but now have the entire loft area for games and cinema room when their friends come round meaning the rest of the house is free from clutter. If you want to extend your house and actually quite enjoy the process - Glenn is the guy to use. He really cares in getting it absolutely perfect for you and making sure he gets the best he can for the budget you have.'
- Paul Nathan, 5 Dukes Orchard, Bexley‘Glenn was great, he really knew how to get the most out of our available space and designed our new house within our garden which included an amazing open plan kitchen diner and three bedrooms. The new owners of the property Glenn designed were so impressed with the designs that they purchased the property from Glenns drawings, the foundations hadn't even been completed at that stage. We would not hesitate in recommending his services’
- Tim King, 128 Old Farm Avenue, Sidcup'Glenn was a pleasure to work with. The design detail he provided at tender stage meant we knew exactly what we were doing from the outset which meant there were no hidden surprises and therefore no additional costs for our client. The project finished on time to the clients budget and total satisfaction'
- Glenn Harper (Managing Director) GA Harpers Ltd.'Glenn was very respectful, helpful and appreciative of the fact that I felt I needed a building management company to help and support me in my project. I never felt obliged or pressured at any time in taking up any of the services provided by Bluelime Home Design. He always encouraged me to contact him if I had any questions or if I wanted him to meet up and go through anything. I was always given time and lots of opportunities to express any concerns I had relating to the drawings / planning of the project. I was able to add my own ideas, where I felt I wanted to change something; But, where an idea was not possible, I was provided with clear and understandable reasoning as to why my suggestion or ideas may not have worked or gone well with the overall design of the project, which I was truly grateful for.'
- Manjinder Badatch, 89 Springhead Road, Northfleet, Kent, DA11 9QZ'Fantastic service for a reasonable fee. Accommodating to our needs but also working within your budget would definitely use again.'
- Huma Mohammed, 469 Footscray Road, New Eltham'Glenn is both professional and friendly, follows up on any changes that need doing and answers problems during the build. I didn't go for full project management but that didn't mean he didn't help me when structural changes needed doing during the initial stages. '
- Emma Power, 49 Goodrich Road, East Dulwich'After being very frustrated by another architect, Glenn was recommend to us via a friend. From the onset his positive approach and 'can do' attitude was a far cry from our previous experience. Our build had very specific needs for us and we had previously been told that only some could be met. This was not an option for us. Glenn however, would not be beaten. He met all our requirements with some very innovative designs and clever storage options which not only pleased us but also planning regulators. We now have the home we desired thanks to Glenn and his team at Bluelime. Our experience in working with Glenn has been fantastic. We found him not only very professional but his personal approach and caring was very welcoming. We would highly recommend Glenn and Bluelime home designs as they deliver a very excellent service.'
- Nicholas Campbell, Ballymena, Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland'We have worked with bluelime for several years and would definitely recommend their services. The design detailing provided by bluelime is second to none and definitely saves money in the long run as nothing is left to chance. There are hardly any variations during the build as everything is detailed out exactly from the start meaning their projects always remain on budget. Highly recommended.'
- Stuart Harper, GA Harpers'Excellent service, professional and attentive, with great planning suggestions.'
- Steve Dagg, 11 Wimott Road, Dartford' I met Glenn approximately 10 weeks ago and the initial discussions; survey and selection of drawings made available to me happened very quickly. No problems in recommending this service. All very seamless and the drawings are now with Bexley Council awaiting approval.'
- Vincent Mitchelle, 499 Hurst Road, Bexley'Bluelime have helped me on 4 projects so far. Their work is excellent and very creative. I will be using them again on future projects and recommend them to anyone without hesitation.'
- Steve Brown, 1 Downs Avenue, Chislehurst'We approached Glenn a few months ago having read so many positive reviews about his work and we haven't been disappointed. We have been very impressed with the level of service he has provided. His professional expertise, knowledge & attention to detail has been outstanding. He has worked with us to keep the costs down on materials etc. without compromising on quality. The drawings he put together for us are everything we wanted and more, he was able to completely capture our vision on paper and also gave us lots of very good ideas which we have decided to incorporate into the design. We had to put the project on hold for a while due to unforeseen circumstances. Glenn was very flexible, he was able to work around our circumstances. We are now at the planning permission stage and I am confident that at the end of the process we will get the approval we are so eagerly awaiting.'
- Paula Adisa, 28 Tappan Drive, Chatham'Glenn's appreciation of the possibilities for our extension far exceeded our own ideas. He successfully maximised light and space in our Victorian property while maintaining the character of the building. He was very supportive while guiding us through the challenging planning process, and managed the building tender process with great attention to detail, which continued through the project management phase. Overall we are delighted with our finished home and would definitely recommend Bluelime.'
- Nicola Jones, 15 Knoll Road, Bexley'With a growing family and the need to modernise our house we wanted advice on a possible Loft and Ground Floor extension. After discussing our requirements with a few different architects we met with Glenn from Blue Lime. Glenn was friendly, helpful and really listened to what we were trying to achieve as a family. Glenn suggested a couple of different ideas and then quickly put together some initial drawings. One of the best things about using Blue Lime are the inclusive packages they offer which are easy to understand and mean that Blue Lime take care of everything, from finalising the drawings, to managing the planning application process and initiating building control. Glenn was always available whenever we had questions and was always happy to meet in person or chat things through over the phone. Once the builders had been appointed Glenn would continue to stay in touch to see how things were developing. Planning building works are stressful at the best of times, but Glenn really helped remove the stress from the process. Whether you just need basic drawings or a full service package I would definitely recommend using Glenn and the Blue Lime team.'
- Ben Grover, 9 Dallin Road, Bexleyheath' We have worked with Bluelime on several projects. They listen to what you need and are able to come up with some great design ideas that you wouldn’t even think of. When it gets to construction stage they makes things really easy. There is so much detail on their designs nothing is left to chance so we know exactly how much the project is going to cost from the start. That means the budgets are seldom exceeded. Other designers we have worked with in the past have appeared less cost but they do not provide anywhere near the complete service that Bluelime does. When we used to work with other designers we found many of our projects going over budget as corners were cut during the design process with things like the electrics and heating systems not designed out properly. We will not be tempted with low cost design services again and very much believe you get what you pay for. Bluelime will save you money in the long run and we would not hesitate in recommending them for this type of work.'
- David Gates, 26 Kenmara Close, Crawley'Bluelime have done several projects with us now. We have found them very professional and attentive. When we were looking for architectural design services we considered several designers at the time. Bluelime were not the cheapest but the service they provided was way more than the others and worth every penny. Bluelime's designs are so detailed and extensive it even included spotlight and plug point positions which saved heaps of money when the build starts as everyone involved in the project knows exactly how much its going to cost upfront. Bluelime even provide budget costs for each design option they do which were unlimited – I think they done about 10 different options with budget costs for each one on one of our projects. They did not charge anything extra for any of this extra work. It was all included. Another designer we looked at charged an hourly rate for work done in the event the planning application got rejected. Bluelime did not charge anything at all they just get on with it and get the job done so everyone is happy. Don’t be fooled by low prices from others, its never as it seems and Bluelime was great value for money taking everything into consideration'
- Mark Fenner, 2 Topley Drive, Rochester'We have worked with Bluelime Home Design for several years now and have got to say they are the best architectural practice we have worked with. When comparing their costs with others they can be seem more expensive at the outset but when you break it down into the component parts they do far, far more than the others we looked at. These extra services such as estimating likely build cost, planning permission guaranteed, drawing of all the electrical sockets and lighting etc saves loads of money in the long run and meant there were no hidden surprises or extra cost later during the build. In other words it means the projects are pretty much risk free. Using Bluelime is a no brainer if you want to know the cost of your job upfront, want an amazing home extension and reassurance that your project is in good hands. Its a risk free solution which we will be using again.'
- Steve Meeking, Chislehurst BR7 9BT'We were very pleased with the service provided by Bluelime Home Design. We converted a bungalow into a full two storey house. Glenn Williams provided us with several design options based on our needs, dealt with all aspects of the planning stage and recommended a number of builders. Overall, we could not fault this company and would highly recommend. We will definitely use Bluelime again in the future.'
- Glenn Balcombe, 77 Wansunt Road, Bexley'Glenn and his team came to quote on our project and really brought a lot of value already during the initial discussion (much more than some architects bring after full engagement). They came up with many ideas and developed a very detailed design proposal, which reflected not only their ideas, but our thoughts as well. The price was very reasonable and we would have no doubt in choosing them if the project went ahead (unfortunately it did not, but we still wanted to write this review as the guys did such a great job...)!'
- Sebastien Delfaud, 32 Park Farm Road Bromley'Really pleased with experience so far. The team have helped us get a great set of plans that we're really happy with.'
- Paul Clark, 9 Albert Road, Bexley'The service and experience has been nothing but first class and stress free with any questions or concerns dealt with promptly. Would highly recommend!'
- Keith Powell, 470 Hurst Road, Bexley'Bluelime were good value and very professional. Highly recommended.'
- Tom Wates, 20 Selby Close, Chislehurst'I would be happy to recommend Glenn and Dana.'
- Linda Hall'We found Bluelime through a google search of experts in our local area and were really impressed by their work on other properties of a similar style to ours. We were also reassured by the extensive experience of the team and their accreditations to the professional bodies. Although we are at an early stage of the process, reviewing options and ideas, we have been really impressed by the team at Bluelime. We had two visits to the property to assess the feasibility of our vision, and then to measure up and ask for further details. At all stages the team have listened to, and facilitated all of our requirements and ideas, and have regularly come back with creative and innovative solutions and ideas which we had never considered. Despite changing our minds midway through the design process and opting for a garage roof extension and kitchen diner, the team at Bluelime were really happy to sit down together and go through the updated requirements. All the team members we have spoken to have been very approachable and reassuring, and it has helped us massively to enjoy the process and significantly reduce the stress involved. We are planning to use their services and expertise for the design and build of our project.'
- Tom Haycocks'BlueLime (BL) are simply the best! I'm a mathematician, so I held a competitive process between BL various independent and Architectural firms in London. Are they the cheapest...no! However, I'd argue they are the best! So much so, they have attracted the business of a friend who is a professional developer.'
- Lee Osman'Whilst the plans for redevelopment did not come to fruition, our site meeting showed every promise of being handled in a very professional way. I would have every confidence in retaining 'Bluelime' on any future project.'
- Peter Watson'It has been great working with Bluelime Home Design. They have explained each stage carefully and we have been able to ask lots of questions. The initial designs, and tweaks to those designs, have always represented what we have discussed with the team along with some great suggestions from our Architect.'
-Stacie Taylor'We have been really impressed with the professionalism and customer care from Bluelime. They were very thorough with their evaluation of our project and offered 3 great initial designs. They have been very receptive to our feedback and efficient in making the various changes we requested. We have no experience at all in these matters and so really appreciate that Bluelime is a one stop shop and are able to advise us on all elements of the planning/build process and put us in touch with trusted industry experts for various aspects of the project. The presentation of the plans are really professional looking and offer a number of different views which helps to give a clear picture of how finished project will look. We are really happy with our design are very excited about getting started on our project.'
- Sue McGeehan'Excellent service from start to finish, These are the guys you need, nothing was to much, for Darren and his team. Dana is very very smart Architectural Designer, with a keen eye for detail and a flair for ideas, many thanks you guys!'
- Jason Redman'Worked with Bluelime on a project for our kitchen extension. They really brought some great ideas to the overall design, were super patient testing and trialling different versions of the plans and overall we are thrilled with the result'
- Kate Moles'I'm working with Bluelime for our kitchen and garage extension. Aga (the designer we are working with) has some great ideas about the extension, is very patient to adjust the design multiple times to suit our needs and always respond to our queries very quickly. I'm very impressed by their efficiency, the best I have seen. Our project is still at planning stage but I'm sure with the help from Bluelime, this project will be a great success.'
- Wei Lu'We have been delighted with the service from Aga and the Bluelime team (Feb - May 2018). Creativity, Responsiveness, Attention to detail, Value for Money - all excellent - multiple options for our extension and unlimited amendments. I really feel that they are right there with us on the project.'
