Brightman Clarke Architects

We chose Brightman Clarke after meeting with Chris Brightman about our replacement ground floor extension within a conservation area. They were the most interested in our ideas and wishes of all the architects we saw, but also came up with solutions we would not have thought of, including the moving of a doorway which I couldn't really see the point of but now, in the finished building, makes all the difference! We had to take into account wheelchair accessibility including a fully accessible bathroom in a tight space. Chris made all the running with this and liaised with a specialist bathroom company we ended up using, and everyone is amazed that it is a disabled bathroom as it doesn't look like one at all. We engaged BC to project manage as it was a large project and we did not regret this, it made us feel secure that this oversight was there keeping the project on track. A number of unexpected findings (including a well in the yard) did not phase Chris, and when some stud walls in the scheme turned out not to work within the finished space, Chris met with us and the builders and the kitchen company and we took them out, so flexible and responsive. No hesitation in recommending them and in fact we have done so several times already.

We choose Brightman Clarke to extend our traditional semi. From the very beginning we were very comfortable with Jonathan. He spent a considerable amount of time listening to our needs and wishes. We felt fully involved and were really pleased with his input and suggestions. In the end he came up with three possible proposals for us to mull over before we finally settled on a plan that we felt fully met our need. Jonathan was very patient and answered any queries we had quickly. He guided us smoothly through the planning process. The fee structure is very well put together allowing for a number of options, including full tendering should you need it. We felt they gave us very good value for money. We would highly recommend Jonathan and Brightman Clarke.

I chose Brightman Clarke to work on our single storey extension project, after they were recommended by family members. They are very professional and the quote we received from them was clear and structured. Jonathan Clarke who we have worked with specifically, is friendly, approachable, very knowledgeable and is great at sharing his vision for the project. Everything has been handled efficiently, from working on the plans/drawings, to posting the necessary applications etc. Any questions or revisions we have asked for, have been quickly resolved without complication. All in all I would use Brightman Clarke again without hesitation. Highly recommended.

We chose Brightman Clarke after meeting Jonathan to talk through our ideas for a single storey extension. He impressed us with his vision for the project. Jonathan developed a modern, cool design which we loved at the design stage and which has worked brilliantly now built, it has transformed the house. We’ve been delighted with the service through the whole process, from early design, planning through to support during the build. We’ve found them a professional team who are helpful and friendly. We would absolutely recommend Brightman Clarke.

I chose Brightman Clarke for my single story extension following recommendations from friends. Johnathan was very approachable friendly and helpful, he spent time with me discussing various options and was very sensitive to my ideas. He was very helpful especially in respect to making me aware of the third party wall act. He dealt with the planning permission and make understanding the whole process easy. The finished job is excellent and I come down each day with a smile on my face. I would have no hesitation in recommending Brightman Clarke Architects
