3D Rendering in Stansted Mountfitchet.

“Having gone through a difficult renovation in the past, we were apprehensive to start another project! This was until we met Michael, where we felt he had genuine interest and passion to make our project successful! Initially Micheal helped us get clarity on unknown risks, spending time discussing detail on the subject areas (unlike the previous ones that were rushing to give a quick quote and leave). Michael was happy to explore range of ideas, especially at the design phase where we were undecided with direction. We used his 3D virtual modelling service to experience the options which led us to make the right choices that in retrospect were correct key decisions. We used the full service from design phase, site supervision and aftercare! Michael sorted out the following: -sorted out the party wall agreements, re-assuring neighbours on their concerns and explaining the process in detail -planning permission and permitted development submission -created detailed project drawings (facilitating structural engineer calculations) -created tender documents of schedule of works for detailed contractor quotes -with the chosen contractor drew up a solid contract with the builders -making sure the builders were in line with design specifications whilst build in progress with frequent site visits -facilitated letters for permission to Thames for moving manhole outside extension boundaries -we utilised his contacts to source the Kitchen and Bathroom with really high quality finish saving valuable time of us doing extensive research, -track and certify payment for each of the stages Thoroughly happy with his services and very grateful he chose our project during a busy period, we can’t thank him enough!”

“We worked with Gabriela on a floor and lighting design for a full remodelling of our 2-bed flat. She arrived promptly for a first site visit, listened to our ideas, measured up the place, and made some initial suggestions. Over the following days, Gabriela guided us to establish mood boards for each room that helped focus our ideas. We particularly loved the fact that she quickly understood the style we were looking for and was always prompt to react, suggest alternatives, and make adjustments as required. Gabriela’s attention to detail meant that not a single thing was left out, from flooring to ceiling lights and everything in between, all while working within the price range that we were comfortable with. Everything was neatly summarized for us in a detailed purchase list. Having agreed final plans, we were thrilled to see our ideas come to life in the 3D visuals which allowed to ensure everything is exactly like we envisioned. Overall, we would highly recommend Gabriela and Akiva for a delightful and stress-free design experience.”

“James was involved from the initial stages of our project from the conception of the idea to formulating our designs onto paper. We started by telling James broadly what we wanted. Which literally was. “Pitch roof, downstairs toilet with shower, larger open plan kitchen with living space and as we have a south facing garden I want as much natural light into the property as possible. Versatile space for the kids to run and study in in the future.” We went through a few iterations on how we wanted the layout of the kitchen to be which wasn’t really needed for the application stage but we wanted to make sure we could visualize the space we had as we had 2 daughters and one is very energetic. I initially wanted an island in the middle where it would create storage for us and a general hang out area for breakfast etc. James said this was a good idea but we would lose the versatility of the space as the island would be a fixed feature. He came back with some suggestions and we decided to go with the “L” shaped kitchen breakfast bar as he suggested. During these processes there was a sharing of pinintests, whats app messages and a couple of face to face mornings for James to pen down our vision. Once we approved the final designs, James provided through his team of contacts the engineering designs, frame details, final rendering of designs, build over agreement for Thames water, electrical layout, bathroom plumbing layout. He also did the planning permission for us, liaising with the council and answering any questions if needed. Recommended a buildings regulation company. He also advised us on the party wall agreement too. He recommended builders too. We’re very happy with the end result and have already recommended James to family and friends.”
