'We hired Keith and Fran for our life long house project in Berrow Road. Upon meeting them, we realised very quickly the level of knowledge, style and ability they had as a team and how genuine they are and excited they were to assist us with our new home plans.
This was about designing sympathetically:
*new internals, lots of walls to be moved from a very large 1900’s property!
*future design for a loft conversion
*future design for a 2 story garage knock down and design of office / come drum studio replacement
It was fantastic in terms of consultation, design skill, value and making us feel well consulted / involved. Keith and Fran have a no bullshit approach and one could fear, other local architects can be minimal in their approach when asking around before I met these two…
Keith has a real flare for design, is the most genuine person I have worked with in a long time and really got stuck in with planning / the council who were a total nightmare! Thank god he was involved, if not, that outcome would have been unsuccessful due to a terrible council process, inept officer and awful neighbour to deal with! Keith was considerate but firm in his approach with this and also really knew how to handle a very delicate and stressful situation, which a lot of bigger projects can be!
I would recommend 100% and would trust them with any future work we require in a heart beat, they were a pleasure to have on service and well worth their reasonable fees for the work, experience and expertise provided, which I feel is second to none.
Thank you both, dream home stuff here!'

'Tekkwise worked with our builders on a complete renovation of a house in Somerton. It was a tricky brief to maximise space and light, Keith came up with creative solutions, advise on innovative materials and kept us fully appraised of progress. We would highly recommend him and Tekkwise for any project'

'We recently used Tekkwise to create architectural drawings for our large, detached garage build, from our rough sketches and dimensions.
Fran and Keith were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Keith was a font of knowledge and patiently talked us through the whole process. He was always available at short notice with any issue or query that we had.
His drawings were superb and he quickly grasped what we were envisaging. He kept a good sense of humour throughout, including when the planning application process tried our patience!
We would not hesitate to recommend Tekkwise services.'

'Keith was a pleasure to deal with whilst planning my loft conversion. He kept me fully Informed throughout the process, kept my builders up to date and made himself available when we had to make adjustments during the build. Highly recommended!'

‘'changes to our house had been designed by TeKKWise:
These are raising the roof of the rear extension which now has bifold doors onto the garden creating an en suite and wet room, moving the gas meter from the right rear to the left front of the house with the boiler relocated to the left end of the attic and moving the doorway of the dressing room from the landing to the master bedroom.
All of these changes have greatly improved and modernised the house which was in a sad and tired state when we purchased it.’

'I am so delighted that planning has been granted on our former barber shop to convert to a 2 bed residential house.
TIMELINE
Planning submitted: 28th July
Purchase completed: 19th August
Planning decision: 15th September
Getting approved in six weeks is practically a miracle, but when you have reliable people around, anything is possible. My architect (Tekkwise) once said "I fight for my clients" and this incredibly quick decision by the local authorities does not allow me to doubt that.'

'A 5 Star service from Keith at Tekkwise. A very friendly approach and Tekkwise was always happy to answer any questions instantly. When I instructed Keith the planning went very smoothly and my application was granted. My project started yesterday. Thank you very much for a perfect planning application I would highly recommend Tekkwise.' ​

'Keith worked on our 3 townhouse development in Weybridge. We had when we bought the site the original Plannng Drawings but wanted to change the details and style of the properties. we had to submit an appeal, 2 S73's and various submissions to clear the eventual Planning conditions.
In addition to the planning drawings we also changed the internal layout of the houses which again was carried out remotely.
Keith also took part in the establishment of the Building Specification and with Building Control submissions.
We would recommend Keith / Tekkwise to any prospective client as given his depth of and varied experience he will be a benefit to any future project.'

'I first met Keith Stockwell more than 12 years ago, during one of his recurring trips to Italy, when he was to explore and experience local architecture to improve his projects. I've always found Keith as one of the most dedicated professionals I've met in my career. I'm glad to discover he's now joining this new professional adventure with the same enthusiasm I learned to know and appreciate.'
