Report
Sam has been very proactive and supportive with our planned extension. She is very responsive to my queries and communications and has drawn up some really good plans which we've been able to review and discuss together. Any updates are made very quickly with minimal fuss. She has been able to explain processes and stages in clear, simple terms which has made things easier to understand. Being able to have face to face meetings too is also a great benefit, especially during this time. Really good service and would highly recommend.

This was my 1st dealings with an Architect and I was very impressed with the service Sam delivered. Sam listened to what we wanted and transformed our vision of a wrap around extension into professional drawings and 3D views. Any queries or alterations we asked for dealt with promptly. I highly recommend Sam to anyone wanting to employ the services of an Architect.

Report
Very polite and professional from the 1st contact. Explained the procedure rather than talking about fees first. Explained everything on visit. Submitted our drawings on our behalf and kept us in the loop about the progress of the application. We had to do some changes, Sam made the changes and submitted the new drawings professionally without any extra cost, not like others who were more interested in money rather than procedure. Available anytime to be contacted, work was done promptly, very polite and professional. 100% recommendable. Well done Sam, Thanks
