We have used SKMDesign for an extension and remodelling of our internal space. Sanjay and Mitesh have helped use in all the step but most importantly they have not used jargons that were incompressible to use (which I believe it is very important). Overall, it has been a good experience working with them and good value for our money.

Helpful from the moment they met us. Designs were imaginative and they considered everything we wanted and more. Pricing was very good and they handled the project from start to finish with professionalism

I dont want to write too much as it can go on for pages. So Ill keep it short and sweet. My experience using SKM Design for the first time in 2014 was nothing but positive. As a first time property developer, they explained many complex terms in plain English. Whenever we hit a hurdle with planners, builders, the actual build itself (and trust me youll get plenty of these doing a build!), they were always there to help and find a progressive solution to overcome the problems. With this in mind we went on to use them again on another project and this time on my own house and things can

If you want a competent Architect / Designer look no further. The team at SKM Architects couldn`t be more helpful in making our dream home come true. They inspired us throughout the design stages and helped us get our home built with an excellent builder whom kept to price and time. Well worth the hunt to find these guys.
