About Us
A Family-Run Building Company You Can Trust
Design Solutions South East is a family-run building company built on experience, reputation, and pride in doing things properly.
Founded by professionals with over 40 years of combined experience in the construction industry, the business was established with a simple aim: to deliver high-quality building work with clear communication and a level of care that’s often missing in the industry today.
Based in the South East, we work with homeowners across Essex, Kent, and the surrounding areas, delivering house extensions, full home refurbishments, and new build projects that are carefully planned, well managed, and built to last.
​
A Hands-On, Personal Approach
As a family business, we stay closely involved in every project we take on. Clients deal directly with experienced professionals from the outset, not sales teams or middlemen. This hands-on approach allows us to maintain high standards on site, make informed decisions quickly, and keep clients fully informed throughout the build.
From the first conversation through to final completion, we take responsibility for the full process - ensuring work is carried out safely, correctly, and in line with current building regulations.
​
Built on Experience, Not Shortcuts
Our background spans residential construction, project management, and site supervision, giving us a deep understanding of how successful building projects are delivered. Every project is overseen by qualified site managers and supported by a skilled team that values attention to detail, organisation, and respect for our clients’ homes.
We regularly coordinate with planning consultants, building control officers, and structural professionals to ensure all work meets the required standards. Relevant qualifications and documentation can always be provided for added peace of mind.
​
Trusted Across Essex and Kent
Much of our work comes through repeat clients and personal recommendations - something that only happens when work is delivered to a consistently high standard. We believe trust is earned through reliability, honest advice, and workmanship that stands the test of time.
Whether you’re planning a home extension, refurbishment, or a new build in Essex or Kent, our aim is to make the process as straightforward and stress-free as possible, while delivering a finished result you can be proud of.
If you’re looking for a building company that combines experience, accountability, and a genuinely personal service, we’d be happy to discuss your project.
