Profile
Joe Smereka ICIOB
Hi, Joe Smereka here. Here's a little more information about what I do and how I might be of help to you.
I have worked in domestic construction for over 25 years. Early in my career I worked as a Project Manager, running residential refurbishment projects with values in excess of £1M. Between 1998 and 2014, I owned and ran a medium sized building company specializing in domestic extensions and loft conversions etc.
I started Josef Architecture in 2006 to run alongside my building company and offer architectural design support to our clients. Since then however, things have changed and I now provide a whole host of building consultancy services to homeowners that may be looking to improve, extend, or even build their own abodes.
Some of the services I can help you with are as follows:
Planning drawings and consents
Building regulation drawings and approvals
Structural calculations
Building cost projections
Tendering
Planning home improvements is not just about good design. There are so many things to think about and simply hundreds of pitfalls too. I am here to help every step of the way. I will work with you to ensure your project is designed well, it's within your budget and, if required, I can help you select a reliable and skilled builder to make your dream a reality.
Testimonials
Kitchen Extension
iven our modest budget we needed an architect that was realistic in their advice and yet positive that something could be done! We found this in Joe. His work was done in a timely manner and we were able to tweak and adjust floor plans until we were happy with the final layout. Joe listened to our needs and at times gently challenged some of our ideas which helped us to think through what was important. I also appreciated the regular contact by email but yet the space to make decisions. We're excited to see the plans come to fruition.
Garage conversion and extension
Being a novice to the process of building an extension we met several architects to discuss our plans, Joseph was by far the most professional and took time to listen to our ideas and came back with a plan that perfectly met our design brief.
Joseph (Joe) submitted our application to the local authority in a very timely manner and the process has been smooth without any hiccups.
Our extension is going up at moment and it's reassuring to know that we can pick up the phone and discuss any design issues that may pop up, giving us confidence that the build will met our expectations.
We feel confident in recommending Joe to our friends and would happily use his services again.
Extension
Thank you Joe for all your hard work, ideas and inspiration. And for being so approachable and easy to work with in a venture that is new to us.
I would definitely recommend Joe to anyone thinking of starting a building project. I am very pleased with the outcome of our loft and ground floor extension plans. Joe has been thoroughly informative in every stage from initial idea to design, plans, obtaining the required approvals from the council and then the final stage plans drawn. Answering all my questions and queries thoroughly and promptly.
Joe's architectural services come extremely highly recommended.
Extension
would highly recommend Josef Architecture. This was our first extension and we were a bit unsure on how it all worked but Joe talked us through everything that we needed as far as the plans go. Drafts were made and we were left with plenty of time to think things over so that changes could be made. Also once the plans were submitted by Joe the turn around was pretty quick for approval. I would use this company again for any future plans needed.
Extension
We are very pleased to be in contact with Josef Architecture and thankful to have found him through MyBuilder.com The work being done for us is of the highest professional standard, and gives us every confidence in the Director Joe Smereka and in his business. We recommend Josef Architecture without reserve.
Extension
I have been very happy with the quality of Joes work and the design advice that he was able to give on the project. While Joe wasn't the cheapest quote the service he provided in delivering detailed drawings including liaising with the local building control to co-ordinate on my behalf got rid of a lot of the hassle. The end result is a complete set of drawings that allows builders to provide detailed and accurate quotations.
