Nic Antony Architects

Nic Anthony architects were an absolute pleasure to work with. Our project is a simple 4M rear extension however, we've had a lot of personal issues since our initial engagement in 2021. Nic and his team have been amazingly patient with us while we navigated a difficult time. Eventually we've arrived at a place where we have got our final plans created and have thoroughly enjoyed the creative process. Nic and his team have been great at showing us alternative ideas while keeping our budget in mind! Nic has also been very good at helping us to refine any ideas we had and is an excellent sounding board with good honest advice. I cannot recommend Nic and his team highly enough. In fact I've already recommended him and his team to family and friends!

Amazing service from Nic Antony and his team. Flawless from start to finish. We were giving great advice from the outset. Without doubt would recommend. Faultless!

Nic Antony worked with us on a project to create a loft and also ground floor rear extension. We didn't want a flat roof for the ground flor extension as we didn't just want a 'box' on the back of the house. Nic's innovative design got us what we required with a sloping roof design that we roofed with zinc. When tendering for the construction, builders commended the detailed requirements that Nic provided for the various elements of the project, enabling us to get true comparative quotes.

We have been working with Nic Antony and his office staff for many years now and found the whole team to be very supportive and helpful throughout our projects from start to finish. Their drawings and specifications are very detailed and comprehensive. What we especially like is the tender specification we receive as It gives everyone tendering all equal opportunity by quoting the same items. Very user friendly and very well set out and there attention to detail very high. Nic and his team have always been responsive to any details or questions we have had before, during and after projects. Very honest and caring company.

Really enjoyed the helpful service of Nic Antony Architects. Great ideas and they were resourceful when we faced some slight planning issue set backs. Highly recommended. Familiar and reliable

After a 5 year long battle with my local authorities and several Architects, agents and even my local MP, Nic Anthony Architects was the most professional and competent company that took a deferent approach to the planning proses and secured us the result we had so much longed for. I would very highly recommend Nic Antony Architects not just if you are having problems with planning but as a overall Architect, there costs, communication and professional approach is first class. Many thanks again to, Nic, Thomas and Paula for all your help.

I reached out to Nic Antony after I had seen his work online. Planning a property renovation isn’t for the faint hearted and I didn’t want to fall at the first hurdle. I was offered a free 30 min consultation which nobody else was providing. This for me, was vital as it fully allowed me to ask as many questions as I needed to before making a decision. Nic is incredibly transparent and produced a detailed quote that outlined exactly what his fees are and what you’ll be receiving. Nic was contactable via phone and email. He was quite prompt with responses. I chose to visit the Buckhurst Hill office and met Nic in person, along with another staff member. The entire process has been so stress free. Nic and I talked at length regarding the layout and he suggested the best designs-explaining why he felt they would work best for me. The drawings are clear, easy to understand and reached my expectations. Nic recommended structural engineers for me and someone who specialises in party wall agreements/notices. Although I sourced my own builder, Nic is assisting with the contract between us. I would also like to thank Paula and Julia. Without all hands on deck, I wouldn’t be where I am now. My single storey rear extension is due to start any day now and I can’t wait. In addition to my single storey rear extension, I’m also planning an extended front porch, a bigger downstairs w/c which I only decided upon a few days ago, a utility room within my kitchen/diner, and a bigger bathroom. I would, without any hesitation whatsoever, recommend Nic and his team. It honestly has been an absolute pleasure working with Nic. I look forward to our paths crossing again and will be in contact when the work is finished so Nic can see yet another amazing creation he has been involved in.

Very responsive, good ideas to improve plans, efficient helping with structural plans and building controls. Worked well in obtaining comparative quotes and supporting decision. A very good experience and we now look forward to completion of the build.

We engaged with Nic and his team to help design our three story extension in Wanstead and also opted for their tendering service to select and appoint a builder. This was our first build project however, Nic and his team with their impeccable customer service and in depth knowledge made us feel at ease straight away. We had a number of design sessions, where we were given the opportunity to explore as many ideas as possible, with Nic always listening intently but also reminding us of what is achievable within our budget. We were very happy with our final design and the build pack that we received - all of the builders we tendered too, commented on how thorough and detailed the build pack was. We are now 6 months into a 10 month build and regularly still reference the build pack to ensure tasks/scope are on track. Any queries that we or the builder have had since, have been answered very quickly and clarified. Thank you to Nic and the team for all your help and support during this process.

Nic and his support team were fantastic in designing and managing our project in 2018/19, which was a kitchen and loft extension. Nic is very good at seeing and defining potential in a building, and came up with some really great design ideas. He is very approachable in terms of offering help where needed, answering questions, and takes on board input from customers. The team were also very professional and efficient at co-ordinating, builders, surveyors and costings. All in all, a great local company, that I would have no hesitation in using again for any future projects we may decide to do.

They always say a set of good plans help! Nic and team did a wonderful job of working with us to produce a stunning design which simplified and made it use of every awkward space. No question on design was ever disregarded. Would I use Nic again - definitely the detail of the plans is phenomenal not one request for further details on plans as yet!

Professional , knowledgeable competent and accommodating I will certainly work with the firm again

I contacted Nic and his team after a bad experience with my previous architect. With a minimum of fuss they quickly obtained building control approval for me and were able to help in the selection of a contractor. I found the team to be professional, very realistic and helpful about my project and what could be achieved. I would definitely recommend their services.

Never used an Architect before but this company was really helpful and professional. In addition they acted very quickly and I was granted my permission without any adjustments. I would thoroughly recommend them.

We were complete novices (and still are) in the correct process and requirements needed for our project. Nic and his team were excellent. They were supportive in what we wanted to achieve but not afraid to offer alternatives where appropriate. All the staff we have dealt with were professional and courteous. Would not hesitate to recommend them.

I have engaged Nic Antony Architects on numerous projects and have had the pleasure of dealing with every member of the team. I highly recommend Nic Antony for the quality and professionalism of the services provided. I look forward to working with the team on many more projects in the future.

I have used Nic Anthony Architects twice for two major renovation projects, firstly in 2013 and then again in 2019 – we have extensively redesigned our whole house over these two projects. Nic and the whole team on these two projects have been excellent and we have achieved fantastic outcomes. I would really recommend using Nic and his colleagues. His team have a wealth of experience, they are committed to getting great results for their clients and they have positively and creatively transformed the space in our house. We had no doubts about using Nic’s team again in 2019 for our second major renovation project and we are delighted with what has been achieved.

I used Nic Antony as the architects for my loft conversion and single storey side return extension and would highly recommend them. Throughout the process they have been very responsive, providing advice, ideas and taking time to talk things through with me. The package of drawings they provide is very comprehensive including specification and services layout. All the builders that I showed the drawings to commented how well produced they were.

Great team led by Nic Antony! Nothing is too much trouble and they genuinely have very creative, forward thinking ideas that will enhance any development. The practice is a close knit team and that helps with the synergy creating an fantastic personal service.

We found Nic and his team to be extremely professional and thorough; full of good, practical design suggestions. We have also been impressed by the assistance provided throughout the build phase of our project and would have no hesitation in recommending his services.

Nic and his team provided a great service (and unequivocal support) with respect to preparing the design drawings for our planned single story extension. I found Nic and his team to be very professional, cooperative and willing to please and at the same time providing valuable input and steer based upon their knowledge and experience. I would highly recommend them!

Nic and his team have been a thoroughly professional, thoughtful and dedicated practice to work with. They bring a wealth of experience, listened to our needs and delivered some fantastic ideas and plans. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM.

We approached Nic Anthony Architects Ltd after a disastrous experience with another designer. I cannot speak highly enough of Nic and his team. We were initially unsure of what to expect having had several problems before, but from the outset they reassured us and offered great solutions and advice to assist us in getting our project designed. They were happy to review the design as it progressed from initial concepts to the final scheme as many times as needed. The entire process was stress free and highly professional. I have been very impressed with the finished design pack, both in terms of quality and content. We would definitely recommend using them.

Having found Nic Antony Architects on the Houzz website we approached them with a view to re-designing a house we had bought and also for planning applicatuib and design to build a large side and back extension. They work as a fantastic team! We were novices at this and they couldn't have been more helpful. Each stage of planning and designing has gone extremely smoothly and planning permissions granted within a short space of time. Our building works will begin in 3 weeks and we are sure that if we encounter any problems they will be on hand to help out. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

We used Nic Antony Architects for major work on our family home. We purchased a run-down house and did a full refurbishment including a rear extension and loft conversion. The results were fantastic and this was in no small measure down to the work and ideas of Nic and team! Our personal architect was Julia Sancho and we really appreciated her dedication and enthusiasm. I’d also like to mention Ravi Azad who was our structural engineer and he did really great work particularly on our complicated 4 meter rear extension. Thanks Nic and team!
