Neil was very polite and on time when he came for the site visit. He was open to all questions and has been patient throughout offering his opinion where needed.
Neils costs are good value in comparison to some others. I would recommend AGF if you are planning work/alterations/extenstion at your home.

After having a bad experience with another architect Neil was recommended to us by a friend. Throughout the whole process Neil has been amazing,working early mornings,evening and weekends to finalise planning. I highly recommend Neil for any architectural work you may need planning.

Fantastic! Neil has been great from the start. He is very efficient, professional and excellent at what he does. He laid out all the costs from the beginning and went through with me all what i wanted with plans to match. He was quick at responding to any email queries i had, even if they were daft! Would definately use him again and recommend him to everyone.

Neil has been an absolute pleasure to work with and very patient whilst we changed our minds dramatically on design along the way. His responses to questions and speed of turnaround getting our detailed drawings prepared has been superb.

Neil has been brilliant from the moment we first got in touch. Very knowledgable and professional throughout the process. His drawings were easy to understand and gave us a real feel as to what our property will look like when finished. He was patient and allowed us to make amendments whenever we felt necessary. Would highly recommend if you want someone who is competitively priced and hassle free.
