ParamountBuilt - West Sussex 

I used paramount for a chimney breast removal report. The engineer was punctual explained everything clearly and carried out a detailed check. The report was easy to understand with all the right calculations and guidance for building control.

Very professional and straightforward services would definitely recommend.

I requested a structural report to determine the suitability of the current building in place; a timber structure currently being utilised as a garage. The report should have also referred to the suitability of the footings as this is a fundamental part of any building development, whether made of traditional bricks/block/steel or timber. The council highlighted that the ‘Approved Document A – Requirement A1’ should be provided and required clarification on several other matters. I instructed Paramountbuilt to liaise directly with the council to facilitate a successful conclusion. Paramountbuilt also tried to deflect stating that a pilot hole would be required to inspect the existing foundations, this had been done and examined on their first visit despite their protestations. In fact, the gentlemen who carried out the assessment made extensive notes and was left alone to examine the garage for over an hour. To date I have had to facilitate this as Paramount have failed to reach a successful conclusion with the council after 7 months and despite actively pursuing Paramount to bring this whole matter to a conclusion, I have encountered a ‘wall of silence’.
I requested a ‘Party Wall Agreement’ with my neighbour to be carried out by Paramountbuilt and after several re-writes due to spelling mistakes such as names, basic spelling errors etc a formal document was sent to my neighbours. My neighbours who employed their own surveyor pushed back to the incorrect process being undertaken and the incorrect forms being supplied, it was agreed that the process needed to start again after wasting a whole 5/6 weeks. Furthermore, a new surveyor was handed the responsibility of concluding this matter, initially this undertaking was competent and then a ‘wall of silence.’ When I managed to contact the surveyor directly, he pointed out that he was unsure as to I was and that he was now working on a large housing development. Eventually, after pursuing this further another surveyor was appointed and in fact he was the original surveyor who then in discussion with my next door neighbour’s surveyor decided that I had no jurisdiction over the adjoining wall and that I had to ask permission to build on top of the original wall or build up to which would require a section 1 report. I received an initial e-mail about the construction of my wall under the guidance of the Section 1, which I responded to. After not hearing anything for 3 weeks the neighbours surveyor contacted me to find out what was going on as he had not heard from Paramountbuilt, I followed this up and again I was met with a ‘wall of silence’.
In conclusion, I have never encountered such poor service from a so-called professional organisation. I also paid up front in good faith that my requests would be carried out in a timely and professional manner, this has not been the case. I am now engaging with the neighbour’s surveyor to conclude this matter at extra expense to myself, and from my communications with him he has been far more informative than Paramountbuilt who have never properly understood my needs but were extremely keen to take my money.

First consultation call through to the finished designs, Paramount gave us a competative and simple pricing structure that meant we could budget for our barn project effectively. There clever ideas around maximising the space enabled us to do everything we wanted to. Thanks to all team.

We had a survey carried out on 19th June by ParamountBuilt for a potential RSJ in our kitchen. Communication seemed to be good at first. However, after a second visit from a surveyor, where he made a huge hole in our ceiling (using our hammer as he had no tools !?!) leaving quite a mess, we have had no update re the report. After chasing it up, I was assured I would receive a report on Monday 7th July. I contacted them and was told it would be now on Tuesday 8th July. No! I have tried several times to contact them, left several messages, but no reply (it is now end of day 9th July)
Having paid £400 upfront, I am beginning to think I’ve been diddled !!

The services we got was fantastic. Arslan was great through the whole process, from the first site meeting, to getting the drawings complete and reasonably priced. Would highly Recommend (Already passed the details on to 2 people)

The team handled my building control queries and successful secured approval for my retrospective application, which had been previously rejected. I'm grateful for there support throughout the process.

In the end we received documents butt process required patience, most effect dealing difficult with team. They respond on email after 16 hours.

This was my second time hiring them this time for a crack inspection. The team carried out a through assessment and clearly explained the root case and potentional impact. There technical knowledge and logical approach gave me full confidence in the next steps. They have proved why i trust them with my property needs.

Got help with an outstanding design and it went really well. The team understood what i needed and provided clear drawings and advice. Everything was done on time and professionally. Made the whole process easier, recommend.

I am currently building a house in the London and finding out the right lighting for our kitchen island was driving me crazy, esecially with all the strict building regulations here.
The island is long over 14 fit and has 2 levels: 1 for the sink and 1 for a breakfast bar that's slightly higher. Our ceilings are quite low about 8.5 fit and because of a steel beam, we are limited to just Two light points above the island no room for a third.

Between the ceiling height the tall faucet the two island levels, and my tall husband 6'3'', i had no idea what kind of lighting would actually work, i was also unsure about, industrial style pendant lights would hang too low, black views, splashing from the sink could be a problem and large island with only fixtures.

That's when i turned to paramountbuilt and they were fantastic. They understand the local Building Regulations and gave me practical tailored advice. They resolved our restrictions problems, brightness cluttering space. They completed there work on the time. Thanks Team.

Bang on time, brilliant service. Quick and efficient. Answered all questions just awaiting plans

I recently had a chimney removed from my home and i am happy with process from initial consultation the team is honer able and respectful my home, they explained every step.

We recently had a chimney removed and needed proper planning for it. Our neighbor had used Paramount Built for party wall services through Sumit, who works at Paramount Built, and they recommended the company to us.

We got in touch, and everything was handled professionally. Had a Zoom meeting with their team to go over the details. They later visited the property, took clear site photos, and walked us through the whole process step by step.

They managed the structural drawings, party wall paperwork,no confusion at all. The team was polite, organized, and always kept us in the circle.

Highly recommend them if you're planning any structural work like chimney removal.

Arslan was very helpful and clear during his survey of our home. Arslan provided an efficient survey and understood exactly the brief. Arslan was very friendly throughout and a pleasure to work with.

We appointed them to assist with the architectural redesign and M&E coordination for a small commercial unit. Their professionalism and attention to detail stood out immediately. They took time to understand our business needs and delivered a clean, efficient design that met all compliance requirements. Everything was delivered on time, and within budget. A first-class service.

Through survey and detailed inspection report provided. Helped identify key structural and maintenance issues early. Highly recommended for making informed property decisions.

We worked with paramount for our chimney removal project and had a great experience from every step.
From the initial consultation to the final approval, the team was extremely helpful, providing valuable guidance and advice throughout the process.
There expertise helped us better understand the project, ensuring everything was completed smoothly and efficiently.

We used Paramountbuilt for some drawings and calculations for the removal of a chimney and the chimney breasts on the lower and upper floor of our home.
Their quote was very reasonable for a surveyor to come out and a structural engineer to then give us detailed drawings and calculations to assist the builder and for the local authority regulations. The service I received from the team during phone calls I had, was also very helpful.
They have lost one star from me due to some payment confusion, but it was all sorted in the end.

We used paramountbuilt for our single story rear extension project and the experience is good. There team took the time to understand our needs and worked. Not only did they manage the project efficiently all the way through to building regulations but they also maintained clear and open communication throughout.
One of the standout aspect of there services was there availability whenever we had questions or needed guidance, there team was always on hand to assist, additionally when we needed to make a minor amendment to the plans, they handled the revisions smoothly liaising with the council for a reasonable and transparent fee.
i would highly recommend paramountbuilt to anyone looking for a well managed extension planning process.

I hired Paramountbuilt for my rear extension and they did excellent work and i got the approval from my council.
