We have worked with John from Fitzgerald Architecture Ltd over a period of around four years on five separate planning applications for improvements to our house in Milford on Sea. Our house was originally built around 1901 in the Arts and Crafts style and is located in one of the conversation areas of the village. From the outset were contemplating relatively extensive works and were aware that our intended project was not one of insignificant scale and duration. Thus, we sought to work with an architect that alongside providing all of the services one would normally expect from such a professional we could happily work with in the long-term and that would be able to handle the complexities of the project. We contacted several local firms of architects and decided to work with John owing to his extensive experience, sensible approach, and reasonable fee structure. Throughout our time working with John we have not been disappointed. Our project required a very high attention to detail owing to the house being located in a conservation area and John has surpassed our expectations in that regard. We are extremely pleased with the outcome of all the works, and do not believe that any other firm of architects could have provided a better service. John has: 1. Understood the brief from the outset, and has been personable, honest and diligent throughout. 2. Answered all of our questions promptly and thoroughly allowing us to make important decisions in an informed and timely manner. 3. Provided very accurate and detailed design drawings that our project manager for the construction phase could readily work with and has been on hand to provide advice and assistance to our project manager whenever necessary. 4. Battled with the local council on certain issues to result in sensible decisions being made. 5. Been transparent with billing and made fair and reasonable charges. 6. Produced high quality designs and advice in relation to a variety of different aspects of our building works, from the construction of a garden pergola owing to the conservation area a planning application was required, to the construction of a significant retaining wall of around 50m in length and the redesign and build of a substantial extension to a period property. Overall, I would highly recommend using John for any architectural services.
John took our ideas for a new kitchen extension and developed the plans and proposal so that we gained planning permission without any issues. John also attended the parish council planning meeting to ensure there were no issues at this stage. With his help and guidance a specification was developed from which we were able to have a number of contractors bid, going on to select one to complete the build. Although we knew exactly what we wanted out of this project we initially had trouble engaging builders, before we started working with John, due to different materials being used. With John’s expertise, advice and attention to detail on-board the project was completed and we have been enjoying the kitchen extension for the last six months.
I was looking to develop a 1950's Bungalow which comprised of typical compartmentalised rooms into a living space suited to my Mother who had recently suffered from a stroke. My first contact as a Architect was John Fitzgerald, who was local to me and I did not bother to contact any others! From outset John was the consummate professional, taking my initial basic ideas and developing these into a number of themes from which the final plan was chosen. Drawings were swiftly produced and amended until each detail was confirmed and potential issues resolved. John also liaised with the planning officers and building control; without such help the project may never have even started! He even took the time to attend the local Parish Council meeting with me, when the application was to be discussed. Throughout the project John constantly suggested small improvements as the build progressed and provided advice in respect of property fittings to ensure that the end result was suitable for my Mother. John was also ready to explain, in detail, everything that was going on as the project progressed, if asked. Overall, the finished project exceeded my expectations, transforming an old house into a fantastic modern living space.
My wife and I appointed Fitzgerald Architecture to draw up plans for our project to completely renovate and remodel a bungalow we had purchased in Sway, Lymington. We contacted a number of architects to discuss the project and John Fitzgerald appeared to us to be the one we felt best understood our requirements. He was also completely transparent about what his obligations would be under the contract and also his fees, which we considered to be very reasonable. Once we had approved the final drawings, John submitted them for planning permission and sent the building contract out to tender. He was involved in interviewing potential builders and helping us decide which one to accept. Whilst the renovation was taking place, we were in rented accommodation necessitating a three hour drive to and from the property and because of that we were unable to visit the site as often as we would have wished to monitor progress. We found John’s regular weekly site visits, written reports and phone calls invaluable in flagging up various issues, e.g. where the builders had deviated from the plans without seeking prior approval. The property was also subject to two restrictive covenants, one being in favour of Network Rail which proved unbelievably protracted in obtaining the necessary permission. As well as myself, John spent time on our behalf tracking down the relevant contact within Network Rail in itself no easy task! and discussing the project with them. One of our most important requirements was to have a hot water underfloor heating system installed and John spoke to the technical departments of a number of suppliers on our behalf to enable us to decide on the most appropriate choice. He also liaised with various other suppliers, including our chosen kitchen supplier. During the course of the project, which ran from late December 2017 until the end of October 2018 we had various meetings at John’s office as well as on site and also numerous lengthy phone calls. We came to know John, not only as an architect, but also more as a trusted friend who was always prepared to go that extra mile for us. We trusted him to deliver and he did not disappoint, as we found him to be totally reliable and of the highest integrity. Throughout the project we encountered new obstacles on an almost daily basis, all of which John guided us through with sound advice, making himself available to us at almost any time of day. His methodical and extremely thorough professionalism gave us absolute confidence that our project was being handled to the highest standard. We were extremely pleased with the final result and considered that our decision to select the services of Fitzgerald Architecture was absolutely the right one. Undoubtedly they had gone far above and beyond their contractual obligations, and that in turn took many of the pressures of a complicated, stressful and time-consuming process from our shoulders. During the course of our project I know John was working on a number of other projects too, but to us it never felt that way. He was totally reliable and when he promised something by a certain date he always delivered; it almost felt like our project was the only one. I’m delighted to whole-heartedly recommend his services to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy architect.
