From our first meeting we knew that Binney and Sims Ltd were the people for us. Katie and Phil were a great help with the initial design of the space we needed to create, offering several solutions and even till the last minute was flexible enough to change. Further on in the process we had various plans / calculations drawn up and nothing was seen as a problem, information was shared freely and promptly. It made the start of the build an enjoyable event rather than the nervous unknown that we thought it was going to be ! We thank you , its been a pleasure !

We would not hesitate in recommending Binney & Sims. We found Katie and her team to be highly professional and very approachable. On our first meeting with Katie we sat down and explained everything that we wanted and she also put us at ease with dealing with the planning application side too. Within a week we had our drawings and Katie had also drawn up some different options that we had not thought about too. Once we had decided which drawings we wanted, we emailed our instructions and our planning application was submitted. Katie and her team kept us informed along the way until planning was granted. This was a stress free process and cannot thank Katie and her team enough. We look forward to showing Katie our extension once finished... thank you once again Binney & Sims.

We commissioned Binney and Sims to internally reorganise and extend a 1980s bungalow to provide an upstairs and a large family space downstairs. They were totally involved, sympathetic and constantly a source of sound and helpful advice and suggestions. Nothing was too much trouble, they were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. And the end product is just a delight.

I used Katie and the team for an extension in Northill. From start to finish during the whole process everyone I dealt with was amazing. They are very knowledgable , made changes quickly and kept me updated every step of the way.
Would highly recommend.

Having used Binney and Sims to design our extension we can honestly say we would thoroughly recommend them, the who,e experience overall has been really great.
All the team worked in a very enthusiastic, professional and prompt manner to help. Katie and Phil made the design process exciting, incorporating our ideas as well as their own to come up with a great design, whilst Heather and Helen in the office kept us sane through the planning and redesigning.
We would have no hesitation in using them for further work

Can't recommend Binney and Sims more highly. Not only are Katie and Phill very approachable, they are extremely professional. They have great ideas, very helpful and always on time. Over and above our expectations in every way. You won't go wrong if you use Binney and Simms.

Katie did a fabulous job at helping us design a layout to link an annexe to the house coming up with ideas we hadn’t thought of, working together we were able to come up with a plan that is now coming together nicely! The whole team are very professional and helped us along the way with regards to planning and building regulations. Would highly recommend Binney & Sims to anyone thinking planning home extensions!!

I have just had some plans drawn by Katie of Binney and Sims and cannot recommend her enough.
Katie is clearly very skilled and experianced at committing plans to paper. But what really impressed me was her amazing interpretation and foresight of the vision that I was hoping to achieve and her enthusiasm and ability to turn them into reality.
I found Katie to be friendly, knowledgeable and also affordable.
I've used other local architectural designers in the past, Katie is the best !

Katie was excellent at designing a space that worked for me that nobody else had thought of and did all the planning permission and drawings for me as well. Highly recommend!

Very responsive and helpful. Managed the planning permission seamlessly and kept us informed all the way. We got a little stuck with the structural drawings as the engineer took longer than expected but on th other hand there were 42 pages of calculations. But the team chased it all in and we're very happy.

Katie and Phil gave us a helpful and professional service. They provided a creative design, good communication and supported us through the process. A pleasure to deal with.

I would have no reservations about recommending this company or using them again. First impressions from Katie were excellent, warm friendly, allowing plenty of time to explore the opprtunities available and answer all my questions. Pricing was very clear and the timescale was clear and kept to.
They kept me up to date throughout the planning process which was successful. I had to make a minor amendment during the application which was swiftly made by Katie and communicated to the council. Phil was equally as professional and helpful, determining the exact details on site ready for building regs. All my many emails were promptly and comprehensivly answered. The whole process was smooth and I believe the service provided was excellent value for money.

Binney and Sims were professional and approachable from the get go, they made the whole process easy and brought our ideas into an reality, we have been left with an open, spacious family home.
I would thoroughly recommend.

The team made the whole process seamless and transparent. Which in this day and age is worth writing about

Katie and Phil were thoroughly professional and always responded quickly to our requests. Katie's design ideas were sympathetic to our requirements, and she came up with ideas that transformed the final plan. We happily recommend Binney and Sims.

A pleasure to work with on our project. Would thoroughly recommend Binney and Sims Ltd.

Katie and Binney and Sims provided us with great support right from the initial email enquiry. Although in the end we didn't go through with the purchase of the house, the plans that they drew up for the extension and redesign of the internal structure were brilliant. They listened to our specification, advised accordingly and it is a great shame that we are unable to see the project through to the end. I would have no hesitation in using the company in the future if the need arose.

Katie helped design and plan our single storey extension and dealt with all planning applications etc. She was very open and approachable whilst maintaining a professional manner. She responded to any queries very quickly.
We would not hesitate to recommend Katie and her team :-)

Katie helped me plan and visualize an amazing extension for my small 1 bed cottage property. The planning application process was all handled by Binney and Sims and the stress completely taken away from myself. Her designs were original and really sympathetic to the property's age and history. I would recommend Binney and Sims Ltd to anyone planning an extension/build. You will not be disappointed.

Katie and her team, Phil and Heather have provided outstanding customer services and not only provided the designs but arranged for a number of builders to quote for the work. Nothing has been too much trouble even if it meant changing the drawings again before they went off for approval. They have made the whole process stress free!

Enthusiastic, detailed and creative in their approach i have no hesitation in recommending their services. it is a real comfort to have a team take you through the process of design, build and control.

Professional business offering fantastic service. Katie came out and reviewed our 'wrong' plans (another designer), then redesigned everything within a short space of time, making the most of the new space, and offered advice for when the extension was finished. Fantastic ideas, brilliant service, would highly recommend to anybody looking at any building works.

We 100% recommend Binney&Sims services. We wanted to extend our 3 bed detached house and really could not get our head around how we wanted to design it. We had all the questions everyone does, such as "can we do this, can we do that" and it was quite frustrating not having the knowledge. We also did not want to pay alot of money for our initial designs in case we wanted to change them. Every Architect we looked at or considered, offered packages that were just so expensive, none were less than £1000-£3000. I was advised by a friend to consider technical drawers instead. While searching for one, I found B&S and called them immediately. I spoke to Katie who gave me advice over the phone and arranged to visit us. She arrived on time, was well presented, very friendly and easy to talk to. She is full of knowledge about the building trade and put all our ideas into order. We didnt look at anyone else after meeting Katie and hired her services. Within a week, we had recieved our 1st set of drawings. They were brilliant and exactly what we imagined our extension would look like. The drawings were very professional and easy to understand. We requested some slight amendments which Katie did with no fuss or bother and in quick time. We then instructed Katie to submit our drawings for planning permission. It went very smoothly and we were kept upto date all the way by Heather at B&S. What we loved was we knew exactly what was happening, when it was and roughly how long things were going to take.
The flex in B&S's communication was brilliant. We kept in contact mainly through their FB page - messenger, so it was nice and easy. A couple of times we would send a message at 6pm or after and would still recieve a reply in minutes. If we needed anything we just gave them a call and the phone was always answered.
Finally, the bill from B&S was absolutely spot on. I genuinely believe their fees are a fair figure and completely realistic.
The other positive non stressful factor was that we did not have to buy the whole package (1st drawings, PP submission, structural calcs, full management of the build) we could pick and choose what we wanted. This worked really well for us; because we have a friend who is a structural engineer and was helping us do the calcs. He was also very impressed with the drawings and even happier when B&S sent them via email in a format he was able to use and adjust to how he needed them to be.
If we need this type of service again the I would 100% use B&S. Its a breath of fresh air to find a professional, reliable and friendly firm that doesnt charge the earth but provides the same quality service you'd expect after paying thousands. Thanks guys

What a wonderfully relaxed, unpressured approach this Company takes when dealing with their new clients.
A fully consultative approach was taken where my views and the project environment, access etc. were all carefully considered.
My project was twofold; restorative work on my 20 year old hardwood, 50 SqMtr Orangery and a modern conservatory style extension in hardwood adjacent to it.
As my home is Grade 2 Listed the design of the new extension was sympathetic assessed with the existing structures and compliant with the wishes of the Bedfordshire Conservation team.
The restoration work including re-leading of the gables, gutter repairs and re-painting of the whole structure is beautiful and has put another 20 years of life on the Orangery.
Very professional and unpressured service all round.
A big thank you to the team at Binney and Sims

Katie and Phill have helped brilliantly with my planning and building work. I would recommend them to anyone wanting a bespoke friendy and efficient business to help with extention and building matters. I cannot recommend them enough, and can't wait for the next project !
