We have a new Review .......

Relationship: Client

Project Date: February 2023


I cannot recommend Marius, Ovidiu and everyone at Progressive Design enough. When gathering quotes for our house renovation (open plan kitchen with rear extension, downstairs w/c and utility room), we struggled to find builders who people would recommend and heard plenty about how stressful house renovation could be...but we didn't experience any stress with Progressive and couldn't be happier to recommend them to anyone planning to update their house.


Marius demonstrated his professionalism from our very first meeting, and throughout the four month project he and his team consistently impressed. Progressive Design care about ensuring their clients have the best experience possible, and actively work to minimise the typical problems encountered during renovations. The team work hard, are true professionals and consistently tidy. Marius is calm, considerate, conscientious, consultative and reliable, and every one within Progressive displays the same qualities. I met weekly with him as well as Ovidiu to discuss progress, and they were both always on hand to advise, guide as well as expertly manage expectations throughout.


As a result, our project was completed within the estimated timeframe to a seriously high quality, with everything from the major considerations to the most minor request accommodated without question. In addition, Ovidiu and the team have remained in contact to deal with every minor tweak we've subsequently needed.


We're over the moon with the results and love spending time in our renovated home.


I'm happy to recommend Progressive Design and am so pleased we partnered with them on our project.

New project coming soon ........ Mill Hill

This week we took photos of a project that we completed in 2020. The clients have settled in well after being a 'covid' project and they have had a wonderful first summer in their home. See more in this video and keep watch for the 3D walk through video!

5 Stars *****

Our first project ever and a huge one at that, we were careful to choose who we would work with. We had a lot of quotes but what stood out for us was Marius’ patience and his eye for detail along with his ability to come up with creative methods of problem solving.

Albeit being a premium quote for us, we agreed to Progressive Design based on how listened to and involved they were in our project even at the initial consultation.

When the project started in Feb 2020, little did we know the world would come to a standstill and everything would change forever.

How they managed to keep the site open and continued with the work during lockdown, tells a lot about their organisation skills.

Ovidiu, his attention to detail and brilliant suggestions on site saved us a lot of wrong decisions. My change of minds, indecisiveness was always dealt with patience and a smile.

Respect is very high on each member of the Progressive Design team.Each one of them go the extra mile to please the client. I always appreciate the little things people do and each one of their team members did it with a smile.

Any extras we wanted were recorded separately. Options were given for us to choose. Despite lockdowns and Covid challenges we managed to finish the project to a high standard and with not too much delay.

Throughout the project from the beginning to the end we have received consistent level customer service, always available on phone, email and whats app.

The project took as much of our energy as it did theirs, but we couldn’t be happier with the result and would choose Progressive all over again!

2021 has been a challenging year for all, in more ways than one! We love a challenge at Progressive Design so we end on a high!

We thank our suppliers for doing what they could, our clients for being patient and our team for all their extremely hard work! This is a snippet of some completed projects and almost completed.


Across multiple sites and our office its not always possible for the team to interact often so this time of year is a great time to thank everyone and after an enjoyable Christmas meal we feel grateful that it was Covid free and not cancelled!


Thank you EVERYONE - Happy New Year!! May it be a prosperous one for you all!

Structural Engineer

The answer is 'Yes'.


If you do not provide structural drawings to your potential contractors then your estimates are pure assumption on one of the most important aspects of a Remodel or New Build!


Golden rule - 'Never Assume"


I have had so many clients in 2021 ask whether they need to go to the expense of structural drawings prior to us providing a quote.


The structural engineer is a licensed professional whom property owners must consult on structural implications of the addition of living space or removal of load-bearing walls, all of which will need to be properly permitted and constructed by a licensed professional.

They provide drawings for your contractor to tell them what extents they must go too to build your design, including important materials that can attract quite a cost - such as Steel beams and if new walls are required, which will then require new foundations to be laid. Older homes or complicated structures can require a structural engineer in order to ensure the site meets the up-to-date standards of code.

"Marius and team were amazing. We completely refurbished our new flat, which required extensive works and had a few challenges.

Marius was always proactive and responsive. The team has great attention to quality and details, something that, in our experience, is very hard to find.

Marius and the team were always available and they provided continuous support thorough the project. I can say that they are highly experienced, of excellent craftsmanship and easy to work with.

It goes without saying that we highly recommend them!"
