  • These guys are amazing, liam and Umar stop at nothing to make the experience effortless and nothing is to much. Used them on my own project but have recommended to a few other people who have all said the same.

    Jason

  • From the beginning of the process of planning and designing my extension, Umar has been a massive help. I already had in mind what I was looking for with the design and layouts and Umar made it come to life. Throughout the process he has been very helpful and always answered any questions or queries I’ve had in regard to my extension and made the process a lot easier for me. During this time I have also had a few encounters with Liam who has also helped immensely. I would 100% recommend these guys and this company!

    Lynsay

  • I strongly recommend the team of design professionals at VPS360. They are extremely efficient and communicate brilliantly. The plans produced far exceeded my l initial expectations. The team have taken a lot of the usual design stresses away from me by having an in house structural engineering team and dealing with all pre planning matters with the council.

    Teigan Augustus

  • Excellent experience and understanding to think make it own right way. I get helped when 3 times I got refusals from council then Ashni Patel helped to get planning permission.

    Sangi

  • Throughout the project, they maintained excellent communication, keeping us updated on progress and ensuring that timelines were met. They handled challenges with creativity and poise, providing innovative solutions that exceeded our expectations. Their knowledge of local building regulations and sustainable design principles greatly contributed to the project's success, ensuring not only compliance but also an environmentally friendly approach. In summary. I would highly recommend them for any architectural project and look forward to collaborating with them again in the future.

    Ravi Joshi

  • Single storey side extension (february 25) Wonderful experience working with them . Nova Habitat handled everything from start to finish and took the pressure off me completely. Very calm and professional team who made the whole experience feel relaxed and stress free. I recommend to all my people around me.

    SR Building

  • Had a really helpful initial call with Luis, then a great video call with Liam both were super knowledgeable. They handled our survey, design, planning, and some structural work for a rear extension. Everything went smoothly and felt easy from our side. They even introduced us to a brilliant builder, way better than anyone we’d found ourselves. Really nice team, would definitely recommend.

    J Mehmet

  • Large single storey rear extension (march 2024) Umar and Liam were brilliant to work with. Communication was great and the process was seamless from start to finish. Umar gave us a lot of time and didn't make us feel like it was a hassle for them. They really listened, explored ideas and gave their expertise which really helped in shaping our home. It was really easy to work with them.

    Shabnam

  • Great company, efficient service

    Reece D

  • We had a great experience working with Nova Habitat. Their team was professional, responsive and clearly knowledgeable throughout the process. They took the time to understand our brief, offered practical and creative solutions, and communicated clearly at each stage. The drawings and documentation were well thought out and delivered on time, which made the wider project run smoothly. We’d be happy to work with Nova Habitat again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable architectural practice.

    James O’sullivan

  • The whole team are really helpful and were not as expensive as others I spoke to. Quite a simple process, they just dealt with it all, and once we had planning recommended a builder, which we couldn't have been happier with.

    Max Richards

  • We recently had a single-story side extension built by Nova Habitat and couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, everything was spot on — the quality of the work is excellent, communication was clear throughout, and the project was completed on time and within budget. The team was professional, reliable, and easy to deal with. We’re really pleased with the finished extension and would highly recommend Nova Habitat to anyone considering having any extension built

Our directors have worked on a multitude of projects, refining an end-to-end service that makes home transformations seamless, efficient, and enjoyable.

We understand the system inside out from what builders, building control inspectors, and councils require to the key design elements that help homeowners unlock their property's full potential. With this knowledge, we’ve crafted a streamlined process that removes the stress, giving homeowners the confidence and clarity they deserve.

But more than just expertise, we bring the excitement back into home design. Renovating or extending your home should be a journey you enjoy, not one filled with uncertainty.
