We had a unique property in North Ferriby which incorporated a retail premises. When the retail side closed the property was in need of renovating back in to a family home.
After discussions with Jamie, we loved his vision and plans for turning our house into a home with modern living space.
Planning permission was granted and we asked A Space build to carry out the necessary works.
9 months later we have a home to be very proud of.
A Space delivered a very high standard of work exceeding our expectations.
Their workforce were professional, engaging and understanding of the fact we were living through the works and a pandemic.
The end result is amazing. The workmanship is fantastic. We can not thank the team enough.
Any issues that arose (and there always will be) were resolved without hesitation or question. 5 stars.

A-Space were responsible for the design and building of our house extension in 2019. As I write this in January 2020 they are in the midst of another small job for us, replacing windows and door at the front of the house. My wife and I feel that we can whole-heartedly recommend them. Their main strength is the quality of their work. They have specialists in all the building trades (apart from roofing, which was sub-contracted), and we found that all of them were skilled and, what is more important, dedicated to producing a quality product as opposed to getting every job done as quickly as possible. They took pride in their work. They kept in touch with us throughout, making sure that when there were decisions to be made, we were consulted. On several occasions there were issues which the craftsman involved spotted could be improved from what had initially be intended, and we found that all of these did indeed work better. (No criticism of the architect is possible here: these matters were quite small in the overall project, and lots of minor decisions have to be made along the way as a design is implemented.) A couple of mistakes were made during the build (which is perhaps inevitable, given the complexity of the whole project), but these were corrected without demur. Indeed this is in many ways the clearest pointer to A-Space’s commitment to quality, that when things go wrong they put them right properly. We said throughout that we wanted a high quality job, in preference to a quick job, and that is what we got. Relations with all their guys (and they were all guys) were very good, they were unfailingly thoughtful and considerate. We threw a little party for them when they had finished the main works, and they came along and all admired their own work, which was nice!

Design project initially, up to planning application submission; to be followed by construction phase subject to planning approval.
Good experience of consultation and exploration of options to arrive at design proposal as submitted. Definitely a collaborative, two-way process with exchange of ideas, comments and reworking to refine and conclude the design proposal.
Look forward to moving on to next phase.

These guys built us a single story extension, knocked walls about, put up a new wall and re plastered walls and ceilings. Excellent work. All the lads were extremely friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. They turned up every day. Completion to schedule and no hidden extras. Paid exactly what the quote was. You guys all went the extra mile and more. Thank you all.
Highly recommend A Space Build.

Cannot recommend this company enough.
The architect took time to understand our needs and produced some great plans.
The subsequent building work was completed respectfully and to an extremely high standard.
Top quality work from top quality people who care. Very reliable, we trust them completely to do a first rate job to budget. Won’t even consider alternatives if we need work done
They were very professional talked us through the whole build and any requests we had they made adjustments. We are having them back to do more building work. Can be trusted we went away onholiday while some of the work was done.
We were introduced to A Space Architects by some friends who had used them for a major extension to their period property. A Space had been responsible for both the design and the build ofthe project. We liked what we saw and our friends strongly recommended A Space/Jamie Ashton for both the architectural and build aspects.
Our discussions with Jamie were very positive – he listened to what we wanted and introduced excellent input on both design and materials. Over quite an extended period we worked through an exchange of ideas and ultimately arrived at a design for a complete redesign (virtual rebuild) of our hose that perfectly meets what we set out to achieve – and I have to say that we would not have arrived at the end design without the ideas, responsiveness and expertise of Jamie.
We retained Jamie / A Space to handle the build with us directly paying for the build team and materials. This approach is less common than the more usual “all in” price for a build project but we found it to be very satisfactory as it gives total clarity as to where one’s money is going. Also, when there were the inevitable changes to details and specification introduced by us as the build progressed we could see that we were not being “overcharged” for changes/extras as can often be the case.
We are extremely pleased with the end result. We have now been living in the “new” house for over six months and remain thrilled by what has been created.
Aspace designed and project managed the extension to the rear of our property (Rudston extension on their web site). We found them professional, consciencious and hard working. The result was something very special which came in on budget and ahead of time – you can’t ask for more than that! Thanks Jamie and the team
We hired ASpace to design and build our new home. From the initial concept through to the finished product we were continually impressed with their dedication to delivering quality. The tradespeople they employ, both direct and subcontractors, take pride in their work and are all exceptionally nice to deal with. We are over the moon with our new home and would highly recommend ASpace to any prospective customer.

A Space Architect and A Space Build did an amazing job for us. We had an extension, dormer and a complete refurbishment to our property, the level and quality of work was exceptional. The service from beginning to end was very professional. The workmanship and finish was top class. A Space have a very helpful ethos and were always happy to support and help us through the build. I would definitely recommend this company and would definitely use them again.

Last year A space turned our old fashioned little kitchen into our dream space! We used A-space architects to design the space and then A space build to do the rest, we decided to do this as we assumed it would make things run more smoothly. What we didn’t realise was that the architect would then manage the whole process from start to finish, right until the we got to the very final details. Using A space from start to finish made what should have been a stressful few months completely stress free, yes we were very upside down and washed up in the bath for 4 months but we didn’t have to worry about anything other than choosing our kitchen, lighting, colour of paint, tiles etc. The team were all professional, they would arrive at 8am daily, they were all polite, respectful and really hard working. The final job is fantastic, we couldn’t be happier with it and didn’t imagine that a relatively small extension could add so much open living space to our house.
