Client Name: Amanda Allen

Comment: Who says building a new house is difficult? Definitely not the case with Bell Architects. From design right through to completion Bell Architects have been very professional, innovate, friendly and always there to advise and assist. Couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Thanks Murray and Team

Client Name: Anne Curry

Comment: We used Murray and his team at Bell Architects on several occasions, including the building site approval and house design for our current home. We were extremely happy with the professionalism, creativity and knowledge of both Murray and all his staff. We found the entire team easy to communicate with and the house design and build process was stress free from start to finish.

Client Name: Barbara Sinclair

Comment: We wanted a property that would meet our needs as we grew older, that would be close to amenities, and provide adequate accommodation on the ground floor, to include a room to be used as a ground floor bedroom, and to have a ground floor shower-room. We viewed a house, and prior to making an offer we sought advice from Bell Architects. We had previous experience of their work. Bell Architects designed a ground floor shower-room, and advised on the bedroom with-in the confines of the house. Bell Architects employed and oversaw the builder who built the shower-room with a level-access shower following Bell Architects design. Bell Architects oversaw the work required to bring the house up to our agreed specification. Once we got possession we had a very tight timescale, which Bell Architects met. Their knowledge was excellent, they were experienced in all aspects of the work, they worked well with us and the builder, we considered the fee to be modest. We would highly recommend Bell Architects

Client Name: Bobby Farren

Comment: I used Murray to develop a number projects, I always found him to be highly professional in the execution of his role, he was also thought provoking when we were designing the schemes, incorporating renewable energies unique design features. I have no hesitation recommending Murray and look forward to having the opportunity to work with him again.

Client Name: Brian Connolly

Comment: Bell Architects offered us a full and comprehensive service, from initial design ideas & concepts, to full project management. Their belief in sustainability lead us to building a very well insulated extension. Their design not only takes into account the ‘farm buildings’ context but also ensures that our heating bills are manageable. The design allows for winter light and the space can be warmed by the winter sun, (when we get it!). I found Bell Architects to open and fully dependable from start to finish. Without their project management, during the building process, we would have faced real financial and possibly legal difficulties, as our builder went bust, mid way through the project. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Client Name: Carmel Gallagher

Comment: Murray Bell provided a chic and practical re-design for Pier 39 Portrush, transforming a dilapidated terrace built in 1876 into a modern and sophisticated B&B that is now receiving rave reviews for style and comfort. We received a very personalised service from Murray and colleagues. We had confidence in their professional and technical knowledge and experience and their attention to detail to ensure that our collaborative design was worked up into a set of plans that met our specified needs. Our project was delivered on time and on budget. We have no hesitation in recommending the services of Bell Architects for their innovative, creative and supportive approach to us as satisfied clients.

A lot of time and effort was put in to this project and it is starting to show as we near it’s finishing line. The team at Bell are very friendly and so easy to work with, nothing is an issue. We hope to work on further projects with this company in the future.

Client Name: Jim, Elaine and Lewis

Comment: Thank you Bell Architects for getting planning permission for our house even though it is in a conservation village and no one said we would get it. Bells came up with a great design and nailed it!

Client Name: Michael Cunningham

Comment: I hired Bell Architects for the renovation of a traditional red brick detached house in need of updating. The project lasted in total approximately 1 year. The project encompassed a significant extension and remodeling throughout. Bell Architects did an excellent job – listening to and implementing job specification; providing creative ideas where appropriate; responsive to changing specifications from me; professionally dealing with frustrating planning issues; liaising very well with building contractor; project management and helping to ensure deadlines where met; and the many things in between. I found Murray and his team professional and personable. I am delighted with how the project was handled; but most importantly I am delighted with the end result.

Client Name: Private

Comment: Did a great job on our house renovation & extension. Murray is excellent at finding out what everyone wants from a project and has a genuine interest in what he does. Bell Architects think outside the box and are open to new ideas – very much a ‘yes you can’ type of architect.
