Why not see what our clients say about our work:

 

Forever Home

“Callingham Architects listened to what we were trying to achieve with the space and produced designs that reflected this.  They made design suggestions that challenged our original brief and this has given us a much more comfortable home with better utilisation of the space.  I am specifically thinking of our large living kitchen , we had initially asked for two rooms from this space.

Their methodical approach gave me confidence that the design and plans were accurate. They were responsive to our requests for changes and managed the relationship with the builder well. We always felt that they had our best interests in mind and it gave me peace of mind that the standard of build was being checked before each payment request was signed off.

We would recommend Callingham Architect’s services, but we hope not to need them again as we plan to be here for the next 30+ years!"

Mrs D, Leamington Spa

 

Dream Family Home

"Having successfully worked with Callingham Architects on several projects over the years, the firm were the obvious choice for my wife and I in designing our dream family home in Kenilworth.

We purchased The Farm in November 2016 with a vision to significantly increase the size and footprint of the property, and to create a unique open plan and bespoke contemporary farmhouse with a Manhattan theme throughout the building.

Callingham Architects managed the process from initial design through to planning, technical construction and building regs. Additional support was provided to incorporate several complex features at the property that include a solid American ash roof structure, panoramic architectural glazing systems to the front/ rear/ roof of the property, cantilever corner glazing system, exposed steel structures throughout the building, soundproofed cinema room, large courtyard and entertaining area built around an outdoor swimming pool, and creating privacy and security within the farmhouse grounds by redesigning all landscapes/driveways/garden walls.

The planning process itself was hindered by several issues and challenges, but despite having to adjust the design on several occasions, Callingham Architects achieved a result that exceeded our expectations on every level. Most importantly they were reactive and supportive to meet our needs, often turning up on site within an hour or two of an issue or concern coming to light.

It has been a long journey of nearly 18 months from planning application submission to build completion. It is fair to say a core element of the project’s success is down to Craig, Laura and their team at Callingham Architects and we couldn’t be happier with the end result."

Mr & Mrs Kendall, Kenilworth

 

New Build Joy

"We chose Craig Callingham Associates to design and project manage our new build which began in 2009.  We cannot recommend Craig and the team highly enough.  Craig's knowledge, professionalism, creativity and tenacity played a crucial part in turning our dreams into reality. 

Our project was a complex one and nothing was too much trouble with Craig always willing to spend time with us to ensure every last detail was covered.

Since moving in, our new home has attracted numerous compliments from friends, family and local people.  We could not be happier with the end result and would call on Craig and the team again without hesitation."

Mr & Mrs Hogan, Wilmcote

 

Construction Compliments

"I have worked with Callingham Associates on a variety of projects and have found the drawings produced to be of great detail and quality, and this is amalgamated with friendly and professional advice when needed along the build process.

Craig has an approach which I believe people will find rare and refreshing, not only is he extremely knowledgeable in the architectural process, he seems to have a great natural sense of what the client is looking for.

As a Construction Company, and having dealt with a variety of customers ourselves, we feel Callingham Associates give a greater overall service and have no hesitation in recommending them to future clients whenever the need will arise."

Mr R Ullah, Crowngate Construction

 

Successful Planning

"12 years and a few architects later along came Craig Callingham of Callingham Associates and within a few months turned the whole project around and secured the planning permission we were so longing to achieve.

I am so happy with the whole process that I will stand on any table in any establishment and shout it out loud! Fantastic!"

Mr T, Southam

 

House Remodel

"When we bought our house it was certainly not our dream home, it needed a lot of work and whilst we had our own ideas about what we wanted, the house would not have turned out the way it did unless it was for Craig.

Our initial meetings were very detailed and involved, we gave examples of external houses we liked, what our requirements were in terms of the rooms and from this began the first drawing.

I will never forget seeing the first drafts of the external plans, the house did not resemble what we had bought at all and was literally our dream home. We worked together very closely, having regular meetings, to check progress, ensure requirements had not changed and Craig met the builders regularly on site to ensure the smooth running of the build. It really was a fantastic partnership and we have since gone on to use Callingham Associates to develop our 100 pitch Holiday Park development, which I must say has been another fantastic success.

We wouldn’t have our perfect home today if it wasn’t for Craig and I would recommend Callingham Associates to anyone that asked, without hesitation"

Jo Vaughan, Pinecroft, Berkhamsted

 

Management College Refurbishment

"Callingham Associates took the time to understand how our business worked and their proposals were designed with a commercial focus to help us move our business forward.

Their architectural solutions far exceeded our expectations and we have developed a real trust with Craig and his team as our preferred architects for our future development plans.

We would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Callingham Associates to any client who is looking for a long term working relationship with a professional approach and a level of customer service which is outstanding"

John Carson, MD of Ashorne Hill

 

Barn Conversion in Berkswell

"Having tried unsuccessfully with others several times over a ten year period to get planning permission for an extension for our barn, we met Craig of Callingham Associates who came highly recommended by our next door neighbour who had used Craig for a very complicated farmhouse extension.

Craig designed the extension, obtained planning permission against the odds, helped with the building quotes and supervised the construction...we just wished he could have built it ! A real pleasure to deal with and we have a superb room that has transformed our accommodation. Couldn’t ask for more!"

Stan Bramley, Berkswell
