Box Projects recently provided Principal Designer services on two of our developments. Their approach was very diligent and gave us a sense of comfort that from design, through delivery and to future maintenance, no stone had been left unturned.

After purchasing a plot of land, I was out of my comfort zone with the planning processes required and was referred to Matthew Fox at Box Projects; I have certainly not been disappointed. Matthew has been knowledgeable, reliable, and highly competent–responding swiftly on every occasion I made contact. Matthew utilised the services of equally efficient Architects, Structural and Civil Engineers, and Contractors, bringing the project to a satisfactory and timely conclusion. I would not hesitate to recommend Box Projects.
