Reviews & Testimonials

DMWR has been involved with the project at 10SBR from day one and has seen the evolution of this site – through too many iterations to count – from student accommodation to its current form. DMWR has simply been outstanding. Retaining DMWR is one of the easier and better decisions you will make. DMWR also has deep knowledge of the student accommodation sector and has delivered a number of outstanding projects.

Amazing effort from DMWR, I feel like you have both gotten your heads around the clients spec and the important ‘do’ and ‘don’ts’ when planning non-standard rooms. So on behalf of RG’s we would like to say thank you for your efforts in turning this package around so quickly.

Working with DMWR was easy and fruitful, they not only have delivered the project on time, but also have anticipated our needs and have given our project an extra value based on their experience.

Student accommodation and hotel building in Varna, Bulgaria

I wanted to let you know that I’m very pleased with the outcome of the latest scheme. The building is much more graceful and elegant and will be much easier to take through planning as the scale now does not look overwhelming. I’m sure the roof canopy feature can be created with concrete or alucabond. You guys have realised our vision for this site!
