Great service, knowledgeable, deals with construction queries in a clear and concise manner. Great assistance with Health and Safety Plan and coordinating discharge of pre-commencement Planning Conditions. Happy to review health and safety items and provide information as required for the building construction. Integrated Design, unlike other practices, make regular visits to construction works and attend design team meeting as required with the main contractor. They inspect construction quality and monitor progress against Construction Programme to make sure projects are delivered on time and within budget.

I needed a survey done on my house and I contacted IDA, they came out the following day.Mr Sehdeva explained what the problem was, its causes and its remedy. A few days later I received a comprehensive report.I have phoned and spoken with Mr Sehdeva on several occasions and I can honestly say that he has been friendly, courteous and thoroughly professional.I would have no hesitation in recommending this firm.

I used Integrated Designs' services for a new beam where I wanted an internal wall removed. When the engineer came out he also helped us with many other quieres we had about the works and we ended up using the company for an extension. They have been nothing but professional from the start, i would like to thank the whole team for their efforts and the short time frame they accomplished everything. Cannot recommend enough! 10/10
