Critical:Professionalism
I found Paul a very rude and arrogant man. Highly unprofessional in his attitude to competitors. I certainly won't be using his services.

Paul was recommended to us. We found him to be reliable, passionate and consultative. When we needed to adapt our requirements he was considerate and provided sound and sensible advice on what the impact would be in practical terms once the plans become reality. Always approachable and fast to respond via email or phone, which I value greatly due to my own busy professional life. Many thanks

We noticed Plan / It sign boards around all the local villages so decided to arrange a meeting with Paul. We were very pleased with the out come, Paul was very polite he listened to our ideas. Paul then went through with his thoughts and experience of what the planners would let us build. We are glad to say everything went smoothly and we achieved full planning. We highly recommend Paul to our friends and family.

Paul was great to work with. He provides a fantastic service.
Hes great fun, comes up with brilliant (and money saving) ideas and mediates between spouses as they debate. He interpreted my, frankly, childlike scribbles into clear plans that completely met our vision. He patiently made alterations each time we asked, with no question or complaint. He worked so quickly. The turn around was amazing, particularly given just how busy we know he is. His signs are everywhere locally, and they deserve to be! We would (and have) recommended Paul to anyone who is planning on extending or altering

We used Paul for the drawings to our extension. He was very efficient at surveying our property and designing our extension with all our needs in mind. Paul took it all seamlessly through planning and building regs.The drawings are excellent and detailed and our builders commented on how good and informative they were. I would recommend Plan-it to anyone thinking of have work done.

Paul was extremely helpful throughout the initial stages of planning our extension through to building regs drawings. I found him to be very knowledgable, available to answer queries and very quick to come back to me with the information I was after. The quality of his work has been great and our builder seems very happy with the plans. I would definitely recommend Plan it.
