Aristeia Limited

Louisa and her team at Aristeia were life savers and in short I honestly don't know how I would have coped without her as I was totally out of my depth. My initial suggestion of hiring her was dismissed by my husband as being an unnecessary cost however, as soon as work started he did a complete u-turn and can't imagine why he didn't agree in the first place! Her attention to detail was superb and her ability to work with the builders rather than against them (which can often happen in this situation) was remarkable. She knew when to 'pull rank' but equally when the soft touch was required. This was our first project and what I found really useful was her expertise and opinions beyond the build. She helped me select paint colours and soft furnishings that were otherwise a minefield to me. It is also worth mentioning that I was also due to have my first baby a week after completion date and not only did the build not run on but it finished a week early!

Aristeia Ltd did a fantastic job on our kitchen extension and ground floor remodel - unfailingly helpful, Louisa is extremely clear with her advice and totally got what we wanted out of the project. We couldn't have done it without her - the project was almost completely stress free despite having a very tight time scale and she got it done on budget and on time! I would highly recommend her.

Louisa Byng of Aristeia was the project manager when we extended & reconfigured our London house in 2015. She organised a surveyor, architect & builder, & took care of party wall agreements & planning permission. She also provided invaluable assistance with interior design, including new kitchen & bathroom, lighting & furnishing. Louisa was a brilliant support throughout the project, which was completed on time & on budget. We recommend her highly.

WG Ltd has worked with Aristeia Limited over the course of two years and would highly recommend the service they offer to anyone embarking on a development project, large or small. Whilst we are a building and project management company, Aristeia provide a level of service which substantially surpasses this, ensuring all of the clients needs are dealt with on a personal level, in a highly efficient manner. Our clients are always surprised about how complex and stressful building projects are but with Aristeia involved all aspects, from planning to snagging, seem to run more smoothly.

I was fortunate enough to have the sense to ask Louisa to take charge of renovating our house in west London. We knew we wanted to add an extra bedroom for the second baby but weren't sure exactly how, and we were hoping to extend and alter the basement. Louisa came to the table with architect, planning advice and the full suite of skills and knowledge for the project. She took charge of the whole process, procuring design ideas and listening to our requirements. Once planning was underway she arranged the costing process with a number of builders, and explained and challenged the quotes when they arrived, helping us to choose a fantastic building company. We decided to extend the project to include a total renovation of the rest of the house, which Louisa took in her stride and brought so many wonderful ideas and suppliers with her. Although prepared to move out for the build, Louisa saved us a fortune in designing the build process so that we didn't need to. Once planning was in the builders started that week, building our temporary kitchen and living area. Louisa was there every step of the way, running the weekly project meeting and keeping us up to date. Any hiccup or slight change of plan was dealt with with no hassle. Upstairs was completed (including a phenomenal bathroom, made larger by removal of chimney breast), and the back of the house was removed in time for deepest winter. Louisa managed the builders and a small issue after boiler relocation effortlessly. She was so helpful as we got to the fitting out stage, finding us a marvellous kitchen designer and managing the whole project to be ready for my sister's wedding. Aristeia were there for us, resolving issues, making huge cost savings, and ensuring the whole project ran on time. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her, and indeed have to many friends and colleagues. 5* work ethic, 5* building knowledge and top person to have around!
