Why We 're good ?
I will listen to your needs and aspirations, and design to your budget, not to build my portfolio. Whether you need my services for every single step of your build or just for planning, or for bathroom and kitchen interiors. I’ll create a package bespoke to your needs. No project is small for me.
As I work from home my overheads are minimum and hence, I can provide unbeatable value to you . I will work to your budget and will be always on hand to deliver the service your home deserves.. I have a network of consultants and contractors to help make the build experience simple and stress free for you.
ABOUT
Me
I am Divneet, a creative and thoughtful architect from Southgate, North London and here is my story. Originally from India, I moved to the UK in 2005 to join my husband post our wedding.
I studied Architecture at University of the RIBA Northwest ( Part III) and more recently Project Management at RICS (Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors). I am a registered architect with the ARB (Architects Registration Board) in the UK.
Over the years, I have worked in both large and small architecture practices and worked with developers too; shouldering responsibilities including developing design briefs, preparing feasibility studies, liaising with the client, consultants and the local authority. Besides making planning application submissions; including drawings, design and access statements and other documents; I have successfully run projects on site . I am well aware of the Building Regulations and have sound technical abilities. I understands all the aspects of a project, including contract administration, value engineering, and health and safety responsibilities. Whilst I gained invaluable experience, I knew that I could do better and hence, Refurb came into being.
My career spans over 15 years working in the construction industry in the UK working predominantly on high end residential projects (both refurbishments and extensions) and new build residential projects for developers, from inception to completion. Down the years I have developed contacts with various consultants , engineers, surveyors and contractors who I can trust and recommend.
Outside of work, I am a mother of two boys. I enjoy travelling, long countryside walks, arts and crafts and anything Bollywood related.
I will not only walk you through the early stages of planning and design work, advising you on the realistic potential of your project; but hold your hand through each stage to take your project on site and see it evolve into a reality for you.
Why we're good
At REFURB, we believe in providing superior service to all. We believe it is so important to have strong values through which we channel our work. We are dependable, offering a high quality, friendly service designed to fit around you.
DEPENDABLE
AND FRIENDLY SERVICE
This is my company, and I take extreme pride in it, I will do my very best to make sure that everyone of our clients is happy with our service. I would be personally running your project. Like bigger architectural firms you will not be handed over to a junior you’ve never met nor would you have your Architect leave the company to take another job half way through your project.
AFFORDABLE
FEES
Working from home allows us to keep our costs low, hence we are able to offer our clients competitive fees than our competitors. However, this does not impact the high quality service that we strive to provide to all our clients. Not only do we provide quality drawings and design but are very prompt with our communications with our clients.
PRACTICAL
DESIGNS TO SUIT CLIENT'S BUDGET
Although it is an architect's dream to design beautiful projects, however, it is vital that the designs are pragmatic, addressing the client's brief and friendly to his pocket. Hence, I make sure I listen carefully to the clients in terms of what they are trying to achieve and also to what their budget is. I would design to client's needs, what suit's their lifestyle and well within their budget. I am not here to build my portfolio but to help realize the vision the client has for their home. Providing a space that caters to their growing needs and is functional as well as aesthetically pleasing.
