Practical Space
This client came to us with architectural plans to extend their Victorian semi-detached house and wanted a local company to project manage and build their side and rear extensions. We suggested a few small changes which we felt made the space more practical for their young family, but which also helped bring the project in on budget.
Stages completed: design, project management and build.

What Our Clients Say
We were looking to have a single story extension to our kitchen and a new utility room added to our existing property.
We have never done anything like this before so we’re very apprehensive on how to go about it.
From online research we came across David and the comments and reviews were excellent but more importantly the company ticked the box for being turn key in their operations.
From a free initial consultation through to the completion of the Architectural design, submission of planning permission and structural engineering calculations David and his team have provided clear advice and answered all of our questions that we have had along the way.
The next phase for the project is the building by the chosen partners of David and we are looking forward to the start of that activity.
For the phases completed to date I would recommend David Strudwick Design + Build.

David and Kathy provided an excellent service, giving us ideas, designing plans, running the planning application and providing structural input. They were very responsive and proactive and we got the exact outcome we were after. Thank you!
David really helped us think about our house, our intended use, and how that might change over the years. He then drew up a range of thorough designs that allowed us to move forward with our build process with confidence. Thanks David.
We worked with David and the team to design plans for an additional storey to our bungalow. They helped us navigate the complex planning process and managed the technical aspects of the designs, including a soil investigation survey, structural engineering and building regulation drawings.
With the help of David and his team we more than doubled our galley kitchen! Very efficient from start to finish. Would highly recommend.
We are really pleased we went with David and his team for the design and planning of our bungalow loft conversion. They helped us through each stage including consultation, designs, structural drawings, and submitting the planning application. Everything went smoothly and we've ended up being able to do more than we originally thought was possible.
David really understood the brief, responding to it with experience and practical answers that maximised the impact of planned investment. Feedback was listened to and responses were timely. Couldn't ask for much more in the planning stages.
We recently had our house redesigned with a 4m x 5m extension on the rear. The whole experience was really stress free, any issues sorted out quickly and the final design was beyond our expectations.
Our chalet bungalow offers a spacious open-plan living area, in great need of a cosmetic uplift. We gained invaluable advice from David, who, on-site recommended we increase the width of a square opening to improve light ingress to a dark corner. He further recommended we relocate an internal wall to improve the aspect ratio of our living area, as well as converting a single bedroom into a double. His company provided accurate CAD diagrams of the entire property as well as comprehensive stress calculations for the work intended. His fees were also very reasonably priced. We highly recommend.
Excellent service from David and his highly knowledgable team. Our planning application was submitted efficiently and we felt fully supported throughout the process. The build didn’t start until around 18 months after the application, at which point David very kindly had a lengthy phone call with me, to answer additional questions. David has also kindly referred various other parties (builders, party wall specialists etc) with no obligation to use them, but it’s always helpful to have trusted recommendations.
Great communication and quick response and turn around from consultation to drawings
DSDB managed both the design and build of our extension. Brilliant from start to finish, delivered on time and on budget.
Helped us through every stage of the design and planning process. From the outset David had excellent ideas for our project that helped us settle on a design we are excited about. A really professional set up, and lots of help liaising with the planning department. Highly recommend.
