Architectural services.
Barnaby from The Design Social has supported us with our project from design, to approval with planning, building regulations application, and party wall agreement. He has been informative throughout the process. Getting the project approved initially, a hurdle which he overcame, liasing with planning approvers and updating us along the way. An all round excellent service provided up untill now, and we can finally start our project. I believe there is always room for improvement in any business for me I would have liked communication to be more efficient, however professionalism prevails.Verified reviewerJob location: LE910 Planning / Design

Excellent service for planning application.
I have no hesitation in recommending Barnaby Robinson and his team at The Design Social. His professionalism and expert knowledge were evident from the very first phone call. He took away all the stress I have previously encountered when making a planning application. He dealt easily with unexpected request and additional information needed by the local authority, because we live in a 300 year old, locally listed cottage. The whole service was excellent from start to finishJob location: DY610 Architectural Drawings

Excellent Support with Loft Conversion and Extension
“Great service from start to finish. The Design Social handled my loft conversion and rear extension smoothly, taking care of all the building regs and structural calculations. They kept everything clear and stress‑free, and even shared trusted builder contacts to help me move forward.

Friendly and Professional Service
Barnaby and the team at The Design Social were great. They completed a comprehensive house survey and worked with our builder to install a supporting beam in our sagging kitchen ceiling. We are very happy and would have no hesitation recommending their services to friends and family. Thanks!Job location: LE13
