Lincolnshire's trusted name in homes that last.

Reeve Architecture & Design has been drawing, consenting, and seeing through new homes, extensions, and listed building projects across Lincolnshire and Rutland for over fifteen years. Architectural design and structural engineering, under one roof.

A family-run studio based in Little Bytham. From the first site visit to the final handover, you speak to the same people, always.

Fifteen years, one five-star reputation.

★★★★★

Reeve took our vague idea of 'something a bit like a barn' and shaped it into a house we genuinely love. They held our hand through planning, builders, and every cold winter site visit. Five stars isn't enough.

Our Grade II listed cottage needed a rear extension without upsetting Historic England. The Reeve team navigated all of that for us and we got consent first time. Calm, knowledgeable, and actually enjoyable to work with.

Third project with Reeve. Same family, same attention, same good humour. When you find people you trust with your home, you stick with them. Can't recommend highly enough.

For the kind of quality we build, expect £2,800-£4,500 per m² for construction, plus fees. A typical 180m² family home comes in around £500k-£800k all in, depending on specification and site. We'll give honest, site-specific figures at the feasibility stage, not later.
We genuinely enjoy small projects. Some of our favourite work has been single-room extensions, kitchen reconfigurations, or rescuing a badly planned previous extension. No project is too small if we can add value. We're usually happy to do a free initial visit to any Lincolnshire or Rutland site.
Standard householder applications: 8 weeks. Full planning: typically 13 weeks but often longer in conservation areas or for listed buildings. We'll give you a realistic timeline before you commit, including the slippage we've learned to build in for South Kesteven and Rutland councils.
Yes, if you'd like. We act as Contract Administrator under a JCT contract, visit site weekly, handle payment certification, variations, and snagging. You keep a single point of contact from sketch to completion key.
Reeve is an architectural design studio, not a registered architects' firm. Your project is led by our in-house architectural designer and backed by a qualified structural engineer, under the same roof. It's an uncommon setup - most design studios sub-contract engineering elsewhere - and it means one joined-up design that stands up to building control from day one. For projects that specifically require a registered architect (rare for residential work), we'll say so upfront.
Absolutely. We'll share our portfolio, take you round a completed project if the client's happy to host, and talk you through the drawings from a recent job similar to yours. Far more useful than marketing brochures.
