Chris is an excellent architect and very professional as well as knowledgeable.
He was able to successfully get planning permission for us at Shipley Hall Nursing Home, when previously we had been refused under the direction of another architect.
His network of contacts helped us to lay the footings in good time also.
Recently he helped us get planing permission on a TPO which we were able to action very swiftly.
We will be using him again, again and again!!!!
His pricing is very competitive and I don't know of anyone with such high standards at his prices!!!
Keep it up Chris and your clients will always be lining up!!!
Thank you for the brilliant service you have provided over the last 10 years to both my company and domestic abode .

Comment from Architectural Building Design Services:
Many thanks for the great review - You are also a wonderful Client and i have enjoyed working for you.
Chris is personable, well connected locally and more than capable of delivering high quality architectural design services. He was great through to us being granted detailed planning consent in late 2016.
Since then, we have really struggled to get the same level of focus and service, and spent more than 5 months attempting to get the construction drawings for the first half of the project, eventually giving up and going to a different provider when he stopped answering calls and emails, and submitted drawings to the building inspector against our express wish.
It's been a big delay to the project, and a big disappoint after such a promising start.

Comment from Architectural Building Design Services:
We undertook the survey, design and obtained planning permission for this project which consisted of converting a Victorian chapel and associated Hall into two private dwellings.
The Client ended up being quiet difficult to get along with, their "limited project management" experience and "bossy way of communication" together with them being unwilling to listen to our advice and how to use a private Building Inspector as part of the design team became very frustrating.
We actually obtained a Building Regulation approval to the dis-satisfaction of the Client.
An unpaid invoice broke our terms and conditions and engagement.
Sometimes it is best to let them get on with it under their own merits.
Good luck and i am sure the project will be fantastic when complete.

Thank you Chris Froggatt of Architectural Building Design Services .
We have just got planning permission for phase one of our site development.
Excellent architectural designers as well as highly professional.
Highly recommended for the very detailed and refined project that was rejected previously on numerous occasions by different architects.

I hired Architectural Building Design Services to draw up plans for our extension and to submit them to the council for approval. I was very happy with the service ABDS provided. They came to our home twice to make sure they knew what we had in mind and made some very useful suggestions which we hadn't considered. ABDS were very quick with the drawings and kept us informed about the progress of the plans through the planning process to the end. I would highly recommend Architectural Building Design Services to anyone.

We would like to thank you for all of your ideas and solutions that you came up with in planning our extension of our family home, which we desperately needed for our growing family.
Your professional and friendly approach made you really stand out.

We would like to express our appreciation for the speedy service given to us by Architectural Building Design Services for designing and obtaining all the relevant approvals for our new home.
You took away all the difficulty in dealing with the Local Authority and you also put us in touch with the right builder for our project.
Once again, thank you, and we will have no difficulty in recommending you to others.

Chris went out of his way to give me advice and help about a project I am thinking about undertaking, even taking the trouble to draw up rough sketches for me. He spent a considerable time talking me through various options and was polite and professional throughout.

Architectural Building Design Services have been very helpful and friendly as well as patient whilst helping us design an extension for our property. Chris has listened to our ideas and has produced a design that we are very happy with. Chris recommended trusted builders to complete the work and has been on hand to help throughout the project. We can't fault his commitment or professionalism in anyway.

One of our clients required an architect to help plan and design a refurbishment on their property which would be within planning laws and make the best use of the space available. I put Chris in touch with our client and they were overjoyed with the service given by Chris and the end product. I have worked on a number of projects over the years with Chris and I have always found his work excellent.

I consulted Chris at ABDS about building an extension.
He gave us good direction and advice. Due to circumstances we have had to put the build on hold for the moment, and are just waiting to get started.
I have no hesitation in recommending this company as they were prompt, efficient and did what they said they were going to do, when they said they would do it. A rarity, these days!
