Tom has been fantastic in helping us design a single story front and back extension. He has taken on board our ideas together with his own to create a downstairs layout we are really happy with. Tom is a pleasure to work with, always on hand to answer any queries and worked closely with us on adapting the design during the planning process. I would not hesitate in recommending Tom for others and look forward to working with him on future projects.

Tom has recently got our plans approved for our brand new cricket pavilion at Dunmow Cricket Club. He has worked alongside me seamlessly and has gone, above and beyond what anyone would expect an architect to do. Tom brings a real personal feel to what he does and that goes a long way when deciding who to use for your project. He took on board what we required as a modern cricket club perfectly, this shows in his designs and it’s clear his knowledge is second to none, it’s clearly evident how skilled he is! I look forward to working with him as our project continues and on any future projects. I certainly would not hesitate in recommending him to anyone I know.

Enjoyed working with Tom. Good balance between accepting our own ideas and adding more of his own which were very useful. Plans were submitted promptly once designs were agreed, and we were kept in touch with the process. Look forward to working with Tom again in the future.

Tom is a breath of fresh air!! Having worked with previous architects who we found inflexible and not willing to listen to our ideas, we found Tom to be the complete opposite. Fabulous at understanding what was needed, the needs of the planners and turning these into detailed plans that showed creativity and flair. His plans were excellent - and our builders have found them really easy to work to. Tom is a total professional : responsive, excellent at communication and very easy to work with. We would highly recommend to anyone looking for an excellent architect.

Recently Tom submitted technical plans that he had drawn up for me, to have a cart lodge converted into a garage with the appropriate forms; for the local council’s Planning Department. Within three months Tom was successful in obtaining building approval, to my delight! I am now awaiting the builder to start work on this project. Tom is an enthusiastic and delightful person to work with, I am very grateful for this experience of being able to complete my garage and am very happy to recommend his work.

Tom brought new ideas and a different perspective to challenge and help us design two great single story extensions. He is very patient and responsive to our multiple questions and last minute changes to the plans. He has helped guide us through all the stages of planning and building approval, reviewing the responses and providing advice on the feedback received. We would certainly recommend others to work with Tom.

Tom designed a two storey extension for our 50s chalet bungalow and was fantastic throughout the whole process. He saved us money by cleverly maximising the already existing space and came up with several design ideas that we hadn't thought of. He was consistently responsive and proactive, answering my long lists of questions with patience! I would thoroughly recommend Tom, you won't be disappointed and he will add a huge amount of value to your project.

Tom offered me a very efficient service. I needed to demolish an old garage and put in a new driveway & large garage. He was able to talk me through the process, keeping me informed at all times and obtain planning permission very quickly.

Having just secured planning permission for our project I am delighted with the service Tom has provided. Tom oversaw the complete planning process and kept us up up date at all times. With regards to the design of our extension he gave us several options and provided us with some clever ideas which we have managed to include in the final design, even though our budget is relatively small for the project. Tom was happy to make changes throughout to ensure that the layout suited our needs. We are now excited to progress to the next stage and are pleased to know that Tom will be supporting us through these next stages.

Tom has been a pleasure to work with. From initial meeting right through planning he has listened and delivered more than we had hoped for. He listened to what we wanted, gave us options and talked us through them and then designed an extension that was better than we had hope for. Even in uncertain times he made sure we had regular updates, calls to discuss the project and just included us every step of the way. He even talked me through what pictures to submit to get us through planning. As someone who works with designers and builders daily it was great to work with such a dedicated professional...couldn't recommend more highly.

Cannon Architectural Design has steered us through the complex planning stage for the refurbishment and rebuild of a four bedroom village house. After listening to our requirements, plans were drawn up that satisfied no only the local planning laws, but also promise to deliver a perfect family home. The process has been very clear, pleasant and successful.
