Bluelime Home Design

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.

Our overall experience with BlueLime to date has been satisfactory. They offer a package service, which makes it easier to navigate the processes involved with a build/house reconfiguration, especially if you have no prior experience. A drawback of this package service is the inability to pick the architect you wish to collaborate with ahead of the design phase, which caused significant delay to our planning submission. Since rectifying this, the level of service we have received from the team has been noticeably more positive.

So far the service has been professional, speedy , good quality and at a fair price. To date we have had a couple of visits, a video conference and a meeting to see the designs through 3D goggles. We have been able to make alterations as the plans have developed and these have been made clearly and quickly. Our architect Sigrid was bright, efficient and very helpful.

We are at planning permission submission at the moment for a dormer loft conversion and other changes to the internal layout. There is a wealth of information provided which is very helpful, and they are ready to answer any queries that you could have. Having thought about works for a long time, we had watched many programs about home design. We expected to get a choice of architect as they may have different ideas on how to approach the project. We didn't get a choice however, Matt who has been our architect has met the brief fully and we are pleased with the design. We had the gold package and were provided with the VR Experience in the deal. It was very useful, giving us a good perspective on the space in the new rooms, we made a slight change following it, which we may not have otherwise. We are looking forward to the next stages.

I came across Bluelime by chance last year when on a mission to do an ‘almost full rebuild’/extension project with all the bells and whistles. Initially we met in January 2022 and I insisted that I had to have this done during the summer this year. Bluelime have been honest and professional – it was almost mission impossible. However, we agreed to go ahead with the drawings and planning permissions, and I took the risk of it being approved, whole progressing with the selection, internals designs and planning. By April-May all the planning was approved and Bluelime have put forward a few trusted construction companies that might have availability for a last-minute project. Eventually I decided to go ahead with Alan Tutton and this was the best decision I made. Project begun in August and in November we are now moving in. It wasn’t cheap, but worth to have a builder/PM you can trust – not many left up there! Thanks Bluelime and Alan!
