Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
Dave is so professional and always available to speak to. I had such a bad experience with a previous company so to be able to receive the expertise and assistance was so reassuring and such a peace of mind. Really grateful for the quality and efficiency of work.

I have now used David Blacker at DSB Property Services on two separate occasions and if I do further building work in the future there will be no hesitation to use him again.
David is very personable and when carrying out the survey keeps you involved at every step of the way to ensure you are on the same page, taking all of your ideas into account and also giving valuable advice.
Clear timelines are given on how long the process takes from draft drawings to council sign off and David has never deviated from this. He undertakes all the submissions required and talks directly to the council on

We are really pleased with the design that David Blacker of DSB Property Designs Ltd provided for us.
Our project involved converting our existing bungalow into a 2-storey 4-bedroom house and DSB Property Designs dealt with everything from initial concept through to planning and building regulation approvals.
David was able to interpret our ideas exactly how we intended and put them into the design for our builders to bring to life and create our dream home. David has been extremely helpful and informative at every step of the way, and we would not hesitate to recommend DSB Property Designs Ltd

When it comes to any building work, finding companies that you can trust is becoming more and more difficult. The reality is that unless you’ve completed a building project before, chances are that you’re going to need some help to have a successful outcome. DSB were able to describe and discuss my requirements in the right level of detail to help us make educated decisions on our build. Would I use DSB? Well, put it this way, I wouldn’t use anybody else!
Friends and colleagues advised me to get the planning right “first” time, otherwise I’d be in for stress on another level. I therefore

From the moment we contacted DSB, we were impressed with his professionalism, courtesy and attention to detail. He provided a very detailed fixed cost quote following a careful assessment of what was needed, and he offered some examples of previous work he had completed, including contact details for the customers. He responded almost immediately to all emails and 'phone calls and liaised very effectively with the local authority. I would recommend DSB without reservation

Hi there
I found DSB (Dave) on the internet, could not be happier with the service. I feel very lucky to have found him, I didn't know what to do with the space I had at the side of my property. Dave gave me great options that I wouldn't have thought we could do. Having never had a building project, I had no idea what to do, luckily Dave pretty much held my hand through the whole process, from first ideas to finished plans all approved - no hassle, no stress. I have done and will keep recommending DSB and of course his top quality work

DSB did an excellent job with the planning and Building Control stage of our project, which was a rear extension, completing all the required forms and submissions for approval - this was completely touch free for us. We were kept constantly informed of where we were in the process. Our builder commented that the technical plans were some of the best he had seen. We would definitely recommend Dave.

Prior to meeting David, my wife and I met with two separate architects. Both architects either seemed disinterested or lead us to believe we could do whatever we wanted with our property. Then we met David.
David is extremely thoroughly, punctual and reliable. His plans were drawn to what some of the builders I’ve met described as “the most detailed” they had seen. If ever I needed to ask David a question, I was impressed with his level of detail and prompt response.
David also explained the process, step by step enabling me to have more of an understanding of building regulations and procedures
