Google Reviewer 1, Name (Bad Review):  John Laing

Google Bad Review 1:  Unfortunately our experience with bluelime did not meet the same standards as previous reviews.
We contacted bluelime for a free design survey on a 2 bedroom detached bungalow with the view to extending to the rear and creating a loft conversion with 2 additional bedrooms.
Early Design phase (Very impressed)
1. Met Mark on site who was very good. Provided ideas and most importantly a ballpark costing for the work.
2. On this basis purchased the bungalow which completed beginning of October 2019.
3. Provided a design report containing all relevant details
Engaged bluelime for the project choosing their Gold package.
Design options (Very unimpressed)
1. Met architect at property where he took measurements and we discussed the design report that Mark had created.
2. Discussed amendments to the design report that we felt would suit our living requirements better.
3. Expectation was to receive plans and elevations of existing bungalow and at least 3 or upto 7 design options for the project as outlined in their service package.
4. Architect sent through drawing which included the details for the existing property and 1 design option for the new project which mirrored Marks original design report and totally disregarded the feedback we provided during the 4 hour site meeting.(very underwhelmed)
5. Spoke to architect explained I was expecting other options , 1 including our feedback and potentially 1 blue sky option that we may not have thought of. (Presumed this is why you engage high end architect and their sales material indicate this)
6. Architect confirmed he would provide other options also confirmed planning details. Hip to gable and dormer loft conversion could be done under permitted development as under the 50 cubic metre volume however 4 metre rear extention would require full planning. I queried this as I thought you could do single storey rear extention upto 4 metres for a detached property.
7. Informed within 2 weeks that the architect had left the business and a new architect appointed.(not happy but these things happen)
8. New architect provideddrawings that were more detailed and met all of our requirements. These were turned around alot quicker than original architect. (Happy with this architect)
9. Architect confirmed we could do rear extention and hip to gable under permitted development however the dormer loft conversion would need full planning as it increased the size by 58 cubic metre. I queried the fact that architect number one had advised it was under 50 cubic metres. He showed me the calculation and explained he thought architect one had only included one of the hip to gable not two.(don't expect these type of basic errors when using a gold package architect)
10.In the new year we contacted our new architect to ascertain how the planning process was going. We received an immediate response but the response was not what we expected or wanted. The new architect had left the company on Xmas eve.
13. Obviously we were very concerned as our plans had not been agreed and our architect no longer worked for bluelime. We tried to contact the Head of sales who we had been dealing with. This was a lot harder than we would like with no calls being returned and an emphasis on dealing with us by e mail. We requested a meeting with him and the ceo but was advised this was not necessary although we felt it was. E mail was the only route.
Construction and structural drawings
1. Only issue was the structural drawings did not include retaining wall. I had to provide site photos when I knew both architect had taken them.

We really love our new upgraded property but when we look back at the process our only regret is using bluelime for the project. We paid for a gold service but in our opinion that is not what we received. If I had any advice for bluelime is speak to clients especially when there are issues. They might not consider these an issue but good customer service is dealing with clients when things don't go to plan.

Google Reviewer 2, Name (Bad Review):  Jessica Spicer

Google Bad Review (2):  Our overall experience with BlueLime to date has been satisfactory. They offer a package service, which makes it easier to navigate the processes involved with a build/house reconfiguration, especially if you have no prior experience.

A drawback of this package service is the inability to pick the architect you wish to collaborate with ahead of the design phase, which caused significant delay to our planning submission. Since rectifying this, the level of service we have received from the team has been noticeably more positive.
