Positive beginnings with Resi...

From my very first contact with Resi, the service has been brilliant.

My initial contact was Heather and she guided me clearly and confidently through the early stages of beginning my home extension journey, making what could be an overwhelming process feel straightforward and manageable.

Heather’s communication is consistently quick and clear, she is highly professional, and nothing ever feels like too much trouble or too silly a question for me to ask. Every question was answered thoroughly and promptly, even out of hours, and I always felt supported and well informed.

This positive experience has given me complete confidence in both the process and in proceeding with Resi for my home extension. I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to the service and although I am aware I am just at the beginning of my journey, I would highly recommend Resi based on my experience so far.

Our side return planning application with Resi…

We have been very pleased with Resi’s support and assistance through the ordeal that is a planning consent application in London.

It was our first time and we were a bit nervous about capturing all the steps correctly and navigating the process. Resi’s app and dashboard at super intuitive and give you the foresight you need into the next steps. This helps build your confidence in the process and enable you to plan accordingly. It is truly appreciated!

The interaction between the different teams from design team, to planning team to contractor connect team is seamless, keeping all communication within the same message thread on the platform. This also helps to bring consistency and continuity in this process, involving so many different teams (and running the risk of losing important parts of the communication).

A particular thanks to Em and Jack our designer who have also been very supportive when our first attempt resulted in a rejection. Instead of dwelling on this, they quickly identified the problem and provided us with solutions (which included modifying the drawings free of charge), once again navigating what can be a daunting experience for newbies like us.

We have yet to start the work but so far we have been very pleased with the entire Resi team who has always been friendly, accessible, extra responsive and commercial. Can only recommend

Hi Margaux,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review!

We know how daunting a first planning application can feel, especially in London, so we’re genuinely delighted to hear that our platform and team were able to give you confidence and clarity throughout the process. It’s great to know the dashboard helped you stay one step ahead and that the integrated communication across our design, planning, and Contractor Connect teams made things feel seamless.

Em, Jack and the rest of the team will be thrilled to hear your kind words. We’re especially pleased that, even when the initial decision didn’t go to plan, you felt supported and guided toward a strong way forward. Helping homeowners navigate tricky moments is a big part of why we do what we do.

Thank you again for your trust and for recommending us. We’re excited for the next stage of your project and will be right here whenever you need us.

Great attention to detail!!!!

This is my second time using Resi and both experiences have been great!

With my current project, I’ve just completed the first stage of the design process. Nick and his team have been outstanding. They delivered bespoke, carefully considered designs with real technical precision, and the 3D visuals are brilliant! They're creative, detailed, and have genuinely brought the project to life.

My plans have now been submitted, and Nick will be supporting me through the planning process. His clear communication, professionalism, and attention to detail has made everything feel smooth and well-managed, and I’m optimistic about the outcome.

A fantastic experience so far; I’d confidently recommend Nick and Resi to anyone starting a home extension or renovation.

Using Resi took a lot of the stress out of a first time building project. We undertook a 4m rear extension with kitchen, utility and shower room. The process was smooth throughout and the team gave great advice on things I would not never have known about. They also connected us to external suppliers which again made it easy to manage and ensure we were approaching everything in the right way. Highly recommended.

Recommendation for Resi

For a small, but unusual project, Resi has been excellent. Nick took me through the process then stuck with me right to the end, helping me negotiate a tricky final building control process. Couldn't have done it without you. My experience means I thoroughly recommend them. Thanks so much.

You are better off paying more for regular architect - remote design is a flawed approach

We used Resi to design internal renovation. The model is deeply flawed, just one site visit and a number of issues with the plan were missed. This has become evident as we started the build a few months ago. The plans fundamentally missed major structural requirements needed for the renovation, which meant the steelwork needed blocked off the height of the planned roof and light from the velux for the ground floor. In addition to this there was no plan for the soil pipe that went through a knocked down load bearing wall. The lack of detail provided has made it very difficult for the builders and has as a result led to delays. Little details like putting an en-suite sink on an overhanging windowsill (totally impractical) are things that would not have been missed with a regular architect. We also found the project manager to be pushy to an irritating level. As well as missing key details the architect we used didn’t really offer any creative solutions that we hadn’t thought of ourselves. It is really worth paying more for a regular architect.

Hi Rory,

We’re sorry to hear that you’re experiencing delays and challenges on site.

We note that you opted out of the final stage of our service; the Building Regulation Package and the appointment of a Structural Engineer. This is designed to address technical requirements, structural coordination, and build-ready details. Many of the challenges you’ve described, such as steelwork placement, service layouts, and roof light considerations, are typically resolved during this stage.

While the remote design approach we offer works well for many clients, it relies on the completion of the full package to ensure all technical and site-specific details are fully addressed. This also applies for architectural work where then come one site more often. We always encourage clients to engage with a Structural Engineer and builder to ensure smooth execution on site.

Our Head of Account Management has been in communication with you to explore solutions to help resolve the issues on site, which you have declined.

We respect your wish to not discuss this further over the phone.

Resi have been great to work with

Resi have helped me understand every part of the process. They have also gently and politely kept things moving by giving me a nudge when I need to do things. This is really helpful as I’ve never done this before and they have helped me move more quickly which is just what I needed.

I worked with Resi about a LBC application to Westminster Council.

I worked with Resi about a LBC application for a secondary glazing installation at a listed building in Central London. They were very efficient, helpful and easy to work with. It was a great pleasure to work with Alberto with whom we had a few online Teams meetings. He was very knowledgable about the process and provided a very professional assistance.

Professional and friendly planning consultants who deliver

We engaged Resi as we wanted to replace our derelict garage. Nick and his consulting team were really helpful in identifying and designing the most value adding option - in keeping with our conservation area in Hove. This turned out to be a new mixed used garage / gym / studio space. Throughout I found them to be proactive, responsive, knowledgeable and patient as we considered a few designs. Planning permission was approved without hitch. Would definitely recommend them!

Hello Alex,

Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that you found the planning calls straightforward, but we’re sorry to learn that your experience around submitting plans to the council did not meet expectations.

We’ve tried to locate your project in our system but haven’t been able to find it. Could you please share a few more details about your project so we can look into this further? We’d really like the opportunity to understand what happened and address your concerns.

One of our team members will reach out today to discuss this more in detail.

It isn't worth the saving

It isn't worth the saving.
Too much of a compromise to end up passed through different teams, no accountability, no liability and yet happy to take money. Design was off brief, final product has fundamental issues thanks to their resi connect service.

If you're thinking about an extension, it is a significant investment, so don't cheap out on the planning with a company like this.

Wouldn't recommend and have had thanks from talking people out of using Resi and finding a local service.
