I have already recommended Mike to other developers and builders. His work is first class with superb working drawings that enable the build to take place without constant referral to the designer as all the details have been considered. As a former Director of National House building companies I have extensive experience of residential property development and Mikes work is among the best I have come across. I will continue to use Draft 2 Design Ltd on future projects now that I run my own business. Mike is professional courteous and very experienced he is always willing to help with suggestions that are cost effective.

Mike and his team produced a very detailed set of drawings achieving both planning and building regulation approval for the conversion of a church building (Presbytery) dated 1872 located in the village of Angmering. This is located in a conservation area and attention to detail was critical. The development produced 2 number 2 bed properties and the conversion was achieved with no problems due mainly to the details provided by Mike and his team.
