Reviews of Venn Architectural Services Ltd

A. M.

Pros: knowledgeable, professional, reasonable pricing, good communication. Cons: none. We used Venn Architectural Services to create plans to renovate our house. The scope was ultimately to convert the attic, add a staircase, open up the kitchen/dining/living room, remove a conservatory, remodel kitchen and maximise storage. Stuart has been extremely professional and available throughout the end to end process, which includes a detailed site visit to measure the entire house, offer different design proposals, submit plans to the council for planning permission and building warrant. Must be said, plans were accepted first time with no hiccups - I trust this is down to Stuart's experience and knowledge of local building regs. Stuart has also been available post council approval to answer questions from myself and the builder, which I appreciate a lot. I would highly recommend Stuart's company for anyone looking to renovate their house.

Great service! Stuart helped me with building warrant, took care of whole process and kept me posted on every step of it. He’s very polite and has great communication skills. Will always keep him in mind for future jobs. Highly recommend

We got in touch with Venn Architectural Services to look at an internal wall demolition in a listed building within a conservation area in Edinburgh. We didn't really know where to start, including the process involved, likely cost and what was required. Stuart was really helpful. He clearly explained the options available to us in laymans' terms, as well as the process involved, and the likely timelines. He was highly responsive, very reliable and upfront about the costs. Everything happened in exactly the way he said it would and we're now looking forward to undertaking our building and demolition work. It was a seamless experience and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Venn.

We worked with Stuart to scope our renovation project which required structural engineering input as well. Throughout the project, Stuart was excellent in his guidance and advice. His expertise and understanding as we explored different options helped us settle on a way forward, and he led the building warrant and listed building consent processes for us, ultimately with permissions granted in both cases. Stuart put us in touch with his contacts at McColl Associates for the structural engineer input and seamlessly integrated their drawings into our applications. Highly recommend Venn Architectural Services, and will definitely do so to my own friends and family.

I can highly recommend Venn Architectural Services having worked with Stuart Smith on my recent renovation plans and building warrant application. Stuart's approach was highly professional and timely throughout. I could not have asked for a more helpful and patient architect to lead me through a process of which I had minimal knowledge. I would definitely use this service again.

We would highly recommend Stuart Smith and Venn Architectural Services. Thanks to Stuart, the process of obtaining a building warrant through to being granted a completion certificate went very smoothly for us. We found Stuart to be highly professional and super approachable. He was always quick to answer any questions we had, which was amazing as we were totally new to all this renovation business! Thanks Stuart.

Stuart Smith from Venn is a highly professional, competent Architectural Technician. I could have paid a lot more by hiring an architect, but in actual fact this worked out much better and considerably cheaper because he was so quick and didn't try to sell up. He went above the call of duty a couple of times and his communication was always very friendly, clear, concise and super speedy. He knew exactly what he was doing and helped me with communication between myself and the builder, the council (for planning permission) and the structural engineer. I would have no hesitation in recommending Venn. Well done Stuart!

I would highly recommend Venn Architectural Services Ltd and Stuart for any internal remodeling work you are planning to undertake. Stuart had a clear understand of what we were trying to accomplish and provided insight and advice where needed. He also chased the planning department when required and was excellent at explaining what steps we needed to follow with both structural engineers and builders.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Venn, and in particular Stuart Smith. We used Stuart to help remodel our house and he took us through the process with a high degree of professionalism. He was particularly helpful with the process of applying for planning permission and our building warrant.

Used Venn Architectural services to submit a retrospective building warrant. Dealt with Stuart Smith who was excellent in all aspects throughout the process, from drawing up the plans, offering advice and clarification on regulations etc. Excellent communication from start to finish. Highly recommend

Myself and my girlfriend recently used Stuart to design and produce our planning permission and building warrant applications for the refurbishment and extension of our house. Throughout the whole process we found Stuart to be very helpful and knowledgeable. Our applications for both passed with no problems which is a testament to the quality of Stuarts work. I would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

FREE ADVICE regarding Venn Architectural Services Ltd. In general, we think people are a bit afraid of architects. They assume that what they're telling them will go over their heads. They presume that they'll be forced to listen to old fashioned industry jargon and worst of all, they assume that all architects are really expensive - Guess What? All of the above does NOT apply to Venn Architectural Services Ltd They are a young, upbeat, professional and reasonably priced company, they speak our language and they drive around in Smart Cars... Probably the least intimidating architects in Edinburgh. Need Help? Give them a call. We do, regularly.
