Bromley New Build
When we decided to build our family dream home, we knew it would be one of the biggest investments and most important projects we would ever undertake. We had already worked with architects and other professionals over the years and believed we were finally ready to start construction.
Irakli was recommended to us by a mutual friend whose project he had managed, and our first meeting completely changed our perspective. As we walked through the project together, he identified a number of important issues and decisions that hadn’t yet been addressed, things we simply hadn’t been made aware of before. His advice was clear: don’t rush to site. At the time, that wasn’t what we wanted to hear, but looking back, it was probably the most valuable advice we received. Starting before resolving those issues would almost certainly have created costly problems later.
As we began working with Arcade, we realised our project needed much more than a set of architectural drawings. Zuzanna worked closely with us to redesign our home, refining every detail until it truly reflected how we wanted to live. She guided us through the planning process and successfully secured permission for the revised design. Throughout the process she was creative, patient and always willing to explore different ideas until we were completely happy.
One of the biggest things we’ve learnt is that delivering a project like this is far more complex than simply appointing an architect and a builder. There are countless decisions, consultants, costs and technical details that all need to come together. Irakli’s technical knowledge, meticulous planning and attention to detail have given us confidence throughout. He has helped us review quotations, understand specifications, make informed decisions and approach the financial side of the project realistically from the very beginning.
What we’ve appreciated just as much is the way the whole team works. Although Irakli has an excellent network of trusted contractors and suppliers, we’ve never felt under any pressure to use them. Every recommendation has been honest and made with our best interests in mind, while fully respecting our own choices.
We’ve now broken ground and the project is underway, with Irakli and the Arcade team continuing to support us every day. We have always felt listened to, understood and genuinely cared for. They approach challenges calmly, find practical solutions and remain just as invested in achieving the best possible outcome as we are.
Building a home of this scale is an enormous undertaking, and we’ve come to realise how important it is to have the right people guiding the process. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Arcade to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy and genuinely committed design and project management team.

Shepperton Extension and Refurbishment
Irakli worked on a major renovation to our house over a period of 2-3 years (2019 - 2021). It is a testimony to his professionalism and commitment that the project came in on schedule and on budget. Further, as our renovation/ build has settled since completion, Irakli has been fully available and worked with us on any follow up.
Our project encompassed renovating our existing house and adding approximately 400m2 to our house including home office, gym, shower room, full kitchen installation, family area and library. Irakli was a major part of the project, without his skill, incredible project management skills, connections in the building and decorating industries and ability to manage his (many) clients and contractors ensuring all moved forward as a cohesive team, this project would have not been possible. Most of the project was also conducted during Covid which we were nervous about, but Irakli was instrumental in ensuring that the project ran extremely smoothly. And, despite Irakli's extensive experience, no question or request is too big or too small for him. He will juggle detailed costings and spreadsheets but also climb on your roof to check guttering!
Irakli, is frankly an exceptional individual who loves his profession and is extremely experienced and knowledgeable. He also has a canny ability to work well with all, never changing his genuine personality no matter how tense the project became as we hit certain Covid related issues.
We are thrilled that Irakli is now branching out and we look forward to retaining him for future works. We know when all the costs add up on a project, a project manager's cost may seem a step too far but without Irakli, our project would not have run to time or budget or been the tremendously positive experience it was. We could not be more delighted with the results and continue to enjoy our house.

The A Team is what you get when you hire Zuzanna and Irakli for your project. Great listeners and common sense. Zuzanna’s design and proposals were very well thought, very professionals, she succeeded where known architects failed. Both are very meticulous but not scared to think out of the box. The project execution has been thoroughly followed up and controlled, Irakli is on the ground, keep the teams moving, solve issues and manage your budget with frugality. My project was delivered with expectations in quality, time and budget. Great people to work with!

We had a good experience working with Irakli and Zuzanne on our house extension. They were very professional and incredible easy to work with. They took time to listen to our need, tried to understand our lifestyle and took notes on our ideas. They were very good with space planning and gave brilliant suggestions. Turned our general ideas into detailed designs, construction drawings. Completely captured the vision I had for my house. Thank you Arcade London Group and would highly recommend them.

Lewisham Renovation
Zuzanna and Irakli did a fantastic job for us on our kitchen and bathroom refurbishment. They were detailed, thorough, sensitive to the building and conservation area status, put forward interesting, affordable ideas and also listened to what we wanted and adapted accordingly. They helped us with the tender and regulatory processes in a timely fashion and put us in touch with an excellent building firm. The refurbishment has been life-changing and we are very pleased with it still!

Fulham Renovation
Irakli from Arcade London Group project managed our full house renovation. This is the first renovation that we have done and we couldn’t be happier with the result. Irakli was great at supporting us through the entire project - he has vast connections across the industry which enabled us to achieve exactly the finish we had hoped for, and he helped us with key design decisions along the way. He ensured that our project ran to time and budget, which was no easy feat given the size of the project. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again!

Zuzanna and Irakli have been great for our single story extension. They were patient and sympathetic to our design changes and understood what we were trying to achieve very quickly (even though we didn't always know). Additionally they were extremely helpful with identifying efficiencies and recommending suppliers not to mention knowledgeable in navigating the minefield of applications etc ensuring the project remained close to original budget.

Ilford Extension and Loft Conversion
We appointed Zuzanna at Arcade London Group for a complete refurbishment project including ground floor extension and loft conversion of our terraced house in Ilford. Zuzanna helped us reimagine the potential of our property, by rethinking our initial ideas and proposing creative solutions for the space. She managed the entire process, from design and planning to recommending trusted suppliers, which made the whole experience much less stressful for us. Irakli, the Project Manager at Arcade, was fantastic in guiding us through what was possible, pushing boundaries when needed, and even saving us a significant amount of money by connecting us with some excellent specialist tradespeople. We highly recommend their services!

Irakli sourced contractors and then project managed our full renovation of a 5 bedroom house in SW London over the course of 15 months.
We had regular communication by WhatsApp and he made more than weekly visits to liaise with workmen and troubleshoot throughout.
I have already recommended him to other clients doing reference checks and would continue to do so.

Romford New Build
I had the opportunity to work with Irakli and Zuzanna from Arcade on two new residential development projects, and the experience was seamless from start to finish. Their design and management skills were exceptional, handling every aspect with professionalism and expertise. The planning process was particularly challenging, especially when it came to securing permissions, but Arcade did an amazing job navigating those hurdles and getting everything approved. If you're looking for a team you can rely on, with not just outstanding design knowledge but also deep expertise in construction, we couldn't recommend anyone more highly than Arcade.

Oversea New Build
We have had the privilege of collaborating with Arcade London Group on several development projects over the past few years. Our partnership has been exceptional, and we truly believe that we would not be where we are today without the invaluable contributions of Irakli and Zuzanna.
Zuzanna has provided expert consultation on the design aspects of our large residential developments, while Irakli’s guidance on cost management and overall project strategy has made a significant impact. Irakli has also supported us in land acquisition, initial feasibility studies, and construction costs, all of which have been key to the success of our projects.
We are excited to continue our strong partnership with Arcade London Group and are confident that the journey ahead will be equally rewarding.
