"I contacted Simon on recommendation of the appointed builder. He took over at second design stage after I had the concept design through another designer. Simon took all my opinions and considerations on board during phase 2 and made valid and practical suggestions. He is punctual and efficient in his communication & his costing is more than fair. Every question and concern throughout the build process has been answered and alleviated and I know that I can ask any question even now that the design process is finished. I now have a wonderful home with Simon's help and I would not hesitate to recommend him wholeheartedly" Katja Haagel Banstead

"Simon was the designer for a new build family home project we constructed in New Malden. Simon provided invaluable guidance and expertise throughout the entire project, from the groundworks to the final finishing schedule.
Simon was a true pleasure to work with, and we found him to be extremely knowledgeable, professional, and reliable. He was always available to answer our questions and provided any details required for the project. Simon was also very patient and always willing to listen to our ideas and concerns, which made the entire process so much easier for us.
Simon's attention to detail and his ability to communicate complex concepts in a clear and concise manner were particularly impressive. He took the time to explain each step of the process to the client, ensuring that we were fully informed and comfortable with each decision that was made. This made the project run smoothly, and we were able to achieve our desired outcome with ease.
The end result of Simon's work was a beautiful and functional family home that exceeded the families’ expectations. Simon's vision and expertise were instrumental in the success of the project, and everyone involved was thrilled with the outcome. We would not hesitate to recommend Simon.
In conclusion, Simon was an outstanding consultant to work with, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced, reliable, and knowledgeable professional in this field" Nigel Reilly Jewel Bespoke Build Ltd. Epsom
"I am more than happy to recommend Simon Vallance. We have used Simon's services twice now, once back in 2019 when we did a double storey front and rear extension and again in 2020 to design a granny annexe. Simon is easy to work with, comes up with great ideas and solutions and one thing I really like is he is contactable and responds to messages and emails. He has always delivered in line with agreed deadlines. We have had no issues with the plans that Simon has drawn up for us and they have been submitted to the council with no issues. The builders have and are currently working off these plans as we speak and have had no issues with what they were given to work from" Steve Combes Tadworth
