James was the third architect we had come out to the property, not only did he put us at ease straightaway he came up with numerous ideas and possibilities. We really wanted someone to guide us, he didn’t shoot any of our ideas down he worked with us and opened our eyes to other options. I could not recommend him enough. Our extension would not have happened without him

James was knowledgeable and understanding to our requirements and provided suggestions, ideas and advise on not just the design but things to think about and consider. He was happy to attend meeting with us and the builder bringing knowledge to build and fit out requirements too. He dealt with all the paperwork for the planning and regulations and kept us up to date. He responded quickly to questions and arranged appointments easily.

We bought a house with the most appalling layout imaginable: the bathroom and toilet were centrally located, the only ventilation into the living room and conservatory. We had no idea how to make this into a family living area. We got in touch with James Carvell. He saw it on his first visit, then on his second came up with a solution, both practical and stunning. By knocking through a couple of walls and placing some skylights, we now have a home that is spacious, full of light, and perfect for family life. It is important to stress how well James integrated both the practical and aesthetic aspects of the house. Frankly, without his input - both efficient and enthusiastic - we would still be eating, reading, entertaining etc as though we lived next to a public toilet. In brief, he did everything and more than we could have wished for.

James worked with us to provide a really successful solution to our quite complex requirements for the remodelling and extension of our bungalow. This was quite technically challenging, and the imaginative result creates an unusual, light and airy living space. We are really delighted with the outcome.

We consulted with Mr Carvelle as we were considering buying a property which needed significant alteration. He was extremely helpful and gave advice and opinions about various options and approximate costs while identifying potential pitfalls we had not considered. His advice helped us to avoid making a costly mistake. When we do find the right project we would definitely use Mr Carvelle and would recommend him to others.

We were very pleased with the professional and informed service we received. We appreciated the creative input, along with the technical knowledge applied to the project. We also were impressed with the flexibility of ideas. Many thanks for very satisfied and happy customers.
