Google Reviewer 1, Name (Bad Review):  Nat Brooks

Google Bad Review 1:  My partner and I recently bought our first house, which hadn't been touched since the 1960's and was in need of a lot of renovation work, has no hot water, central heating or the facility for a washing machine, but we were very excited about taking on the challenge of making our house a home.

Although Urban Design Build does not have many reviews on Google, we saw that they were highly rated, the standard of their work looked good from their website, and they offer a complete design and build package, which meant they could take care of the architectural drawings, planning applications, and then move on to the construction of our project. And after meeting Ed, we were very positive about working with them.

Once we had paid UDB to begin the design stage, and were introduced to their Architect Sarah Ross, this is where the issues begun. We found the service from Sarah very impersonal, unknowledgeable and condescending. We believe the drawing stage took far too long, with constant chasing on our part, and that she had not even carried out any due diligence when submitting our planning application to see what had been approved on our road, or what approval route they had gone down. During the planning process, we in fact had to help make a case for ourselves against the council's first refusal on our plans, by doing a site measurement of our neighbours' extensions, so we had a counter argument (this was then approved by the council).

We understand that planning approval is not guaranteed, but we feel we were not supported by Sarah, with her comments usually being on the side of the council or our neighbours rather than us, and usually asking us what we wanted to do, rather than putting forward options. When you pay someone for a service, you should expect that person to be knowledgeable in their field, offer advice and know what the best route is to achieve the best outcome for you. Unfortunately, this isn't the service we received.

Halfway through planning, we started to speak to Ed again regarding finalising details of the build, but the mood was very different from him; He had no idea what was going on regarding our planning application, was not helpful, and when questioned on timescale for our build and a potential start date, we were told he would get back to us. 4 months later, with no email responses or call backs from Ed or James, and after a stressful 3 months of planning, we finally got an email back from James that they were now booked up until the summer of 2021, would not be continuing on to the construction stage with us, and good luck with the build.

After dealing with UDB for 7 months, we feel very let down that they did not have the decency to notify us sooner, and it took us constantly chasing them just to get this information out of them. If they had been honest sooner, we could have lined up another builder to continue with after planning, but now find ourselves having to start the search again, and possibly heading into another winter without hot water or central heating.

We cannot recommend Urban Design Build as a builder, as we were not given the chance to get to that stage with them, but we can definitely say, that we cannot recommend their design service as it is very poor value for money.

Google Good Review:  ED and his team did an excellent job on my extension. All the workers were hard working , polite and conscientious. I would certainly recommend them and would use them again on any future projects.
