Report
We commissioned Matt to design a full refurbishment of our house. He brought imagination, flair and considerable warmth and understanding to the project. Matt was able to design to a budget which was deliverable by the builder and was then always willing to provide help or clarity on request. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Report
It has been a true pleasure working with Matt Lindley on the drawings for our state-of-the-art large family eco--friendly dwelling in Haslemere. Matt has all the skills of the trade both at the technical and personal levels and from what I can see he appears to have managed to have some private life as well!
Matt is imaginative, unfazed and patient and probably the possessor of yet more qualities a great find who comes thoroughly recommended by us.
