“Younus was a friendly and approachable and took the time to explain the end-to-end process of our proposed single side story extension. Younus made the process simple and was clear with communication from the beginning and was able to design my extension to the specification that I required, even making suggestions on how best to utilise space internally. Throughout the project, Younus continued to have an open line of communication with myself and my builder. He was able to advise my builder on how to overcome unexpected issues which accelerated project timelines. Thank you Younus!”

Load Bearing Wall Removal Plans
Younus @ SimpleBuild was absolutely fantastic. Very efficient, prompt and easy to work with. He gave some great advice, and was very knowledgable about projects like mine. It was only a small job, but I'd feel very confident in SimpleBuild to take on a bigger project if I ever have one.
Verified by CheckatradeSite visit for removal of chimney breast
Younus from simple-build consulting engineers was able to visit our home to provide an assessment on whether the chimney breast was load bearing or not. He was very helpful and available super quickly to come out to the house. The visit was thorough and well explained. He wrote a report afterwards which was shared with us which summarised his findings which we found to be extremely helpful.

It's very rear you meet a a trades person like Younus. He saved me hundreds and refused to take a penny from me. I reached out looking for some advise to a question I knew the answer to, but wanted to be sure of. Everyone else tried to charge me hundreds of pounds, Younus looked at it and gave me free advise. While we didn't work together on this occasion, I would trust him with any of my future works. Very trustworthy person.
Structural drawings for kitchen pass-through
Younus was very reactive and provided a thorough and professional service when providing structural drawings for a load bearing wall i was knocking through in my flat. The drawings were provided in good time and he was always ready to answer follow up questions during the construction process.

I came to Younus at Simple Build through recommendation - and I am so glad I did. He has been an absolute joy to work with and has helped me through the process. I would highly recommend Younus to anybody looking for support for their project and won't hesitate to use him again myself for any future projects

Younus was great a getting the structural drawings we needed done. We had some obstacles along the way and he went above and beyond to make sure we had all we needed. He was always in communication with our builders and making sure things were being done in the best and safest way possible for our project.

Younus was fantastic and extremely helpful with your renovation progress. We needed advice and calculations for some structural work including the removal of walls and a chimney breast. He gave us advice and ideas, came to site extremely quickly and sent over calculations even more quickly. He submitted plans to building control, spoke to our builders, and provided new calculations when plans changed for a clear, fixed and reasonable price. An absolute pleasure to deal with, highly recommend.
Verified by CheckatradeCalculations for load bearing walls
Younus was brilliant to work with. He was kind, courteous and professional. He came out to calculate the steel measurements for one wall but simultaneously spotted an error with another wall and done the correct calculations for that too. He recommended a trusty and reliable tradesman to complete the job for us and has remained in contact to see things through. Highly recommend!! Thanks Younus

Younus was a pleasure to work with. He was courteous, professional and knowledgeable. He came out promptly to complete a survey of the property for some structural calculations. Simultaneously, he spotted an error with another wall’s calculations and corrected that for us too. He recommended a brilliant tradesman who could complete our job for us. He’s remained on hand to see the work through and support us. Would highly recommend- Thanks Younus

Younus was brilliant. The service was excellent. He submitted my planning application on time as promised. He responded to email and telephone calls straight away. I was really happy with the outcome. Thank you
Verified by CheckatradePlans required for side extension
Cannot recommend Simple Build enough. Our building inspector insisted on us using a structural engineer for our footings. Younus was able to complete our plan drawings within a couple of days. And he went the extra for us when our builder had misread the original plans and was able to issue us with revised drawings within 24 hours so our inspector would pass the footings so we could get our concrete poured. Younus was very professional, friendly and extremely helpful.

Clements Road - Excellent service provided by Younus at a fair cost. The aftercare service is also great, very proactive in sorting issues out and communicating with builders/Council so the works don't get delayed. Ask for Younus in the office, he will always return your calls and respond back to emails quickly. Would highly recommend and use again for my next project. Jas

"Architect" is a title protected by law - only people on the official Architects Register (held by ARB) may use it. Confirm they're on it before you commission a design.
Check the Architects RegisterOnly someone on the Architects Registration Board (ARB) register may legally call themselves an 'architect' in the UK. Ask for their ARB number and check it free at arb.org.uk. An 'architectural designer' or 'technologist' is a different, unregistered role (often capable, but not the same protection).
Agree how they charge before any work starts (a percentage of the build cost, a fixed fee, or an hourly rate) and exactly which stages it covers (concept design, planning application, building-regulations drawings, work on site), so there are no surprises later.
Confirm what they will actually handle versus what is excluded (the planning application, the building-control drawings, and whether they will administer the builder's contract on site), and get it, and a portfolio of similar projects, in writing.
