We were really happy with the drawings Angus provided and he was really pleasant to deal with. We asked him to help us redesign our new home and he provided some really excellent and precise drawings. It was a very collaborative process. Highly recommend working with Angus.

The 'Make A Home' experience exceeded all our expectations. Angus and his 'magic' technology got straight to the heart of our issues with what wasn't working in our home and came up with clever solutions that we could experience in 3D within two weeks. We went from our inital discussion with Angus, based on his 3D scans of our home, to discussions with our builder from the Make A Home plans in 5 weeks. Full clarity with our builder and no sense that anything had been missed. We highly recommend Make A Home.

In an age where everyone seems to want to add space, I just wanted to reconfigure the space I have. I contacted Angus to see if he would be would be interested in assessing the feasibility of a small project like this rather then the much larger projects I could see in his portfolio. He was very welcoming and constructive in his approach. Most of all he listened, and rather then telling me what to do, made suggestions to make my ideas better. I now know what’s possible, have an estimate of costs and how long it would take. Angus’ friendly and constructive approach made the whole process easy.

We have recently worked with Angus on the design of our new home. It was a particularly difficult site, with numerous planning issues. Angus handled the whole planning process very efficiently and professionally despite the many obstacles which arose. He worked very well with the other Design Team members. He was a pleasure to deal with and we would have no problem recommending him as an Architect.

We worked with Angus from MakeaHome on the design of our attic conversion, which included a large dormer, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Angus was a pleasure to deal with—always approachable, clear in his communication, and very quick to provide creative options that suited our needs. The whole process felt straightforward and stress-free, particularly with Angus taking care of the planning application, which he managed with ease. We would highly recommend Angus and MakeaHome to anyone considering a home refurbishment, extension, or attic conversion. His professionalism, responsiveness, and practical design approach made a real difference to our project.

Make A Home designed our loft conversion and side extension in Bagshot, Surrey. From our initial ideas, to concept, to detailed design, the process was really enjoyable and we got planning without any issues. They are a great team to work who we highly recommend.

What does Make A Home offer?

At Make A Home, we simplify the process of transforming your house into your dream home. Our offerings include:

  • Consultations
  • Project Feasibility Studies
  • Home Design
  • Planning Submissions
  • Tender Packages

Every project differs, but timelines typically depend on scope, planning requirements, and contractor availability. A straightforward home extension or renovation may take a few months from design to PLANNING approval, while new builds or complex projects can take longer.

At Make A Home, we provide a clear project timeline upfront, keeping you informed at every stage so you can plan with confidence.

Yes! We’re ready to help with designs and drawings for new builds—just book a free consultation with our team to begin.

The consultants you need depend on your project’s scope. While architects oversee design, specialists ensure stability, compliance, and cost control.

  • Architect – Designs, plans, and manages the project.
  • Structural Engineer – Ensures structural safety and foundation stability.
  • Quantity Surveyor – Manages budgets and cost planning.
  • Energy Consultant – Ensures sustainability and energy compliance

We don’t perform building works ourselves as our speciality lies in design and planning.
