Recommendation: Design and building company

Recommended Posts

So, a bit of a rare thing for me to do but having come across a few really awful tradesmen, I know how important it is for good people to get the recognition they deserve.


Now that I'm near the end of our current project (ground floor extension, loft conversion and the lot), I would like to highly recommend our Architect and Building company - Jino of ArchInno Limited.


Jino is our architect and he also runs his own building company. Ours was (is) a big project spanning over 6 months and things have been delivered to an impeccable standard so far (and people tell me I'm extremely demanding. ehem), to budget apart from scope changes, and without much delay despite the awful spell of rain we had over x-mas.


We had previously used a different team in East Dulwich for a different (smaller) project and the difference was staggering. Key things that made Jino and his team stand out from other builders:


- Great communication and responsiveness

- Amazing work ethics. The team worked on Saturdays (very understanding neighbours) and we even had a plasterer work this bank holiday weekend to get the job finished

- Accomodating to my erratic personality, demanding pedantic changes or changes in plan

- Full time site manager (Lee) who oversaw every little detail and really thinks about how small details can affect funtionality from our point of view

- Great architectural team that always provides detailed drawings for the smallest details (e.g. cupboard uits) so that I can really visualise everything and comment on things before we finalise

- Impeccable finish - my husband and I are a bit OCD about things being aligned and straight, etc and although we are doing a list of snagging issues, we haven't found many yet!


Jino's mobile number is 07786 985564. He normally operates in Wimbledon area but is currently spending a lot of time in East Dulwich due to our project. I have been trying to convince him what a great market ED is!


If you have any further queries, please feel free to send me a PM.

    • Sadly I think you will never convince people like this. They think gardens have to be kept chopped back and controlled. My theory is that this comes from being (or trying to be) controlling in every aspect of their lives, so I doubt if anything you could say or show them would have any effect. But are they actually coming into your garden or leaning over into it and pulling up/damaging things? If so, maybe one of our community police people could have a word with them?
    • Dear Nature lovers - advice please. I am being harassed by a neighbour who doesn't like my standard of gardening which she calls 'messy'. (I have rewilded my garden with advice from the London Wildlife Trust and a gardening expert from The Times.) I have twice caught this neighbour and her husband pulling up my plants and damaging my trees. Plus she has photographed my house, and sent a dozen complaints to the Dulwich Estate about my plan to rewild the verge outside my property - approved by the Estate some 4 years ago in line with their stated policy of supporting biodiversity in and around Dulwich. What can I do to introduce these neighbours  to the benefits to us all of returning a portion of our gardens to nature?
    • Have you tried Southwark's leisure centres? As a regular attendee at Peckham, Camberwell, The Castle and speaking to friends, the dance routines for all ages are similar to Silver ones. In addition Natty, Bianca and Isac are brilliant instructors. 
    • I've been there for lunch a few times and the home cooked asian food (as part of Sweat Dreams cafe) is genuinely great and a must try. I think the food side of the business has been slow to be noticed but people are now realising what is actually hidden in plain sight.  As for the Aroma Lab coffee ... it is excellent, they are very welcoming and friendly (and unpretentious!). This Australian coffee snob is mightily impressed!!
