Studio-zed were recommended to us and from start to finish we were pleased with the service Zander and Andrew provided for us. They are professional and knowledgeable and took care of all aspects of design, planning and engineering.
They were on hand during the whole process. They bought to life our ideas and we are so happy with our new extension. We would highly recommend Studio-Zed and use them again in the future.
