  • Highly recommend. First class customer service and very professional

    Chris has created the building plans for my side extension. Right from the start his professionalism stood out from other architects who I was considering. In our initial meeting he patiently outlined the whole process (so that I could understand!). He came up with numerous designs and is still willing to tweak them as the project progresses. He handled the whole process of successfully attaining planning permission and appointing a structural engineer. He is now helping me find the right builder for the job - reaching out to his contacts and reviewing quotes. I would highly recommend.

    We contacted a few architects and chose Chris because we found him to be very knowledgeable and easy to speak to. He was quick to understand our needs and was able to help us visualise options very clearly. His costs were clear and up front and he was very happy to provide many options to help us come to a good decision. He was very friendly and accessible throughout.

    Chris dealt with all aspects of the planning application satisfactorily plus providing all the working drawings and ensuring I received exactly what I wanted and needed. He found satisfactory solutions to any problems that arose and, importantly, listened properly! Always polite, excellent at avoiding any conflict and reliable throughout. He is knowledgeable and experienced and easy to contact .

    I had the pleasure of meeting Chris through our mutual client and have since carried out other projects we the him. As director of J Taylor Build a bespoke building company, I have found him to be very helpful, willing to adapt to the projects needs and clients requirements. He is easily contactable and willing to offer site visits when required. I will continue to recommend Chris to my clients and look forward to building on our already excellent professional relationship.
