What our clients say
Project: The Void
Location: Jacobean Lane, Knowle
“We engaged with Fabric Design and Build to create a central living and dining space to our home. The designs proposed by their in house architects were both creative and unique, answering our requirements for a functional family space.
The Fabric construction team took the approved designs and undertook the works, they did this with complete professionalism and they fully engaged us in the whole process with one point of contact to ensure decisions were made efficiently.
There was no waiting for design amendments and the transition from design to build was more efficient and quicker than if we engaged with other contractors. The excellent stress free and enjoyable relationship with the project manager has continued beyond completion, we have recommended Fabric to friends and wouldn’t hesitate to employ their services again.”
Project: Edgbaston Manor
Location: Carpenter Road, Edgbaston
“Cream & Black were appointed to complete full space planning, interior architecture, lighting design and to provide a turn-key furnishing & styling package, we worked in collaboration with Fabric for the complete renovation of this Georgian residential dwelling in the heart of Edgbaston. The aim was to create a comfortable home to modern day standards whilst retaining the buildings historic beauty and aesthetic appeal.
Fabric are highly skilled, knowledgeable professionals who pride themselves on the capacity to create something truly special and we look forward to each project we work together on.”
Project: The Black Barn
Location: Stratford-Upon-Avon
“We appointed Fabric due to their architectural understanding and their positive, can do attitude. Fabric’s team of talented craftsmen understood the brief from the outset, and never cut a corner throughout the whole build process, taking time to accurately deliver the schemes design intention. Post completion Fabric have maintained their close contact and relationship with us, and their after-care service has been extremely impressive.”
Project: Lantern House
Location: Lapworth
“We approached Fabric to provide a full development service on a large new build dwelling in Lapworth. The multi service approach made the whole process stress free and as enjoyable as possible.
We have a great relationship with all members of the team, they are passionate, genuinely care about what they do and are contactable at all times.”
Questions we are asked
Before a self-build, new home, extension or barn conversion, these are the questions people ask us first.
01Where do you work?
Our work is primarily based around the midlands and the Cotswolds, but, we have several projects arising further afield in the UK. At Fabric we love to work in varied environments and we do not wish for a location to be too restricting on where we work, sitting centrally in the country we can be easily connected.
02What kind of projects do you take on?
At Fabric we would love to be able to work on projects of all sizes and budgets, however, our size and service aspirations dictate that our construction services are best suited for schemes with a construction cost above £200,000. We do, however, love to offer our architectural services for smaller schemes, so please feel free to get in touch. For us, we must be honest and open from the onset, so we hope you can understand the constraints derived from the services and experience we wish to offer.
03What services do Fabric provide?
At Fabric, we design, we build, and, we deliver. We provide a seamless service which can take a project from inception through to delivery with one single point of contact. We achieve this through our in house collaboration of Architect's designers and Master craftsmen who creatively combine to develop a project throughout its lifetime. Our wide range of expertise can be applied to such services as:
- Domestic remodelling
- New build dwellings
- Home extensions
- Feasibility Studies
- Commercial developments
- Commercial refurbishments
04How much are architect fees?
At fabric every project is bespoke and unique to one another, we take pride in tailoring our fees to specific services, budgets, project needs and, individual aspirations.
05How long does a project take?
Every project will vary in the time it takes to go from inception through to handover; However, Fabric's unique model of an in house architectural and construction team saves vasts amounts of time against these been separate elements. We can get onto site far faster through omitting costly and time consuming competitive tender stages while holistically developing our technical and construction understanding from the beginning reducing unforeseen costs.
From a design perspective, we often deliver a design through to planning consent within 6-9 months. Technical Design usually takes 1-4 months dependent upon the complexity with construction taking from 8-14 months. This is very broad guidance as many factors can influence this, however, we provide a programme at the very start of the project and we continually monitor this throughout.
