From our initial contact, we found Andy Ip to be very approachable and understanding. He wanted to find out from us what we wanted, as opposed to imposing something else on us. His ideas were none the less refreshing and helpful and helped us to finalise our wishes, all be it with his practical input, that’s not to say that we had some further thoughts, which he was willing to explore and accommodate. All the time we felt he was working for us rather than us fitting around him. He was always available for a chat and maintained regular contact by video conferencing. His drawings were very accurate and helpful , a view reciprocated by the numerous contractors who we approached who clearly appreciate his drawings and working with him. We would thoroughly recommend Andy and if we ever have a need or desire to build another extension at this or any future property, we won’t hesitate to use him again.

We found Andy at Design AI Ltd through various recommendations and have not been disappointed. Within the last 6 months Andy has been professional and very accommodating through what has been a difficult year. His advice and knowledge have made our planning trouble free, with no qualms about alterations, regardless of how many. The application to planning is dealt with, allowing no confusion or strain getting the correct documentation across. His communication has been outstanding, something we have had trouble with in previous projects and we couldn't be more pleased with the work that Andy has produced. We would recommend Design AI Ltd to anybody going forward , you will not be disappointed.

We were very impressed with the excellent service provided by Andy and we have recommended Design AI to friends and family. What impressed us most was the way Andy took time to listen to us and understand how we wanted to use the space in our home. He provided detailed plans and was happy to make changes to ensure we had living space that met our needs. Andy is very talented and the final result exceeded our expectations and has transformed our living space. If you are looking for someone who has real vision and real attention to detail, then Andy comes highly recommended.

We have been working with Andy on our home improvement plans. From the beginning, he has been a pleasure to work with. He has listened attentively to what we are looking to achieve and helped us to explore options and possibilities we would not have thought of on our own. Of course, there has been the inevitable rethinks along the way (us changing our mind!) and Andy has been patient and supportive throughout. He responds super quick to our queries and we now have a final set of plans submitted for planning approval and we hope to complete our project by next summer. We have no hesitation in recommending Andy - very professional and great value!

Andy took the time to understand my needs as a client and patiently explored how these could be best incorporated within his design work. He produced accurate and detailed drawings and his ideas really did make the best use of space within my property. Andy has a pleasant disposition and was easy to work with due to his helpful attitude and willingness to listen.

A couple of years back we embarked on a kitchen extension and sought quotes from a number of architects. At the time we didn’t go with Andy as we had a cheaper quote from another architect, this was the biggest mistake we made. Fast forward 2 years and we had paid a large sum of money to an architect who didn’t do what we wanted and we basically had to start the whole process again. This time we went with Andy and I can honestly say it’s the best decision we made. He is highly professional and worked with us every step of the way. He talked through what we wanted for our space and had suggestions for us on how he thought we could make this work. We have changed our mind a number of times in the process about what we wanted and at no point has he grumbled or moaned. He has worked with us, explaining what would and what would not work in our space and why, making all the changes we requested. He is approachable and friendly, I don’t think we have waited longer than about 2 hours for him to reply to any correspondence we have sent him. I could not recommend Design AI anymore. If, like us, you were tempted to go elsewhere and save yourself some money, don’t. You get what you pay for. Thank you Andy for all your help.

Andy came through a recommendation and we are eternally grateful that he did! Working with Andy has been a great pleasure, he has been extremely professional, helpful and patient through our constantly evolving requirements. He has been able to guide us impartially through our various crazy ideas and has nurtured those that make sense whilst clearly explaining away those that don't. Andy has a strong relationship with the local planning department and this has helped immensely in getting our planning permission approved, something which is notoriously difficult with our council. Many people have been amazed with the fact that our house design was approved without any objections. From the outset Andy was able to clearly define the planning process and individual steps to take, in addition to setting expectations for each stage. With his help we have been able to structure our build project very well and due to this are in full control of it. Last but not least, along the way we have also made a good friend! Thank you Andy for all your support

Andy and Design AI have been professional and friendly from day one. They produce Architectural proposals and are not just ‘plan drawers’. Communication, personally, on the telephone and virtually has been key in producing a design that fulfilled all of our criteria, both in form and function. Highly recommended!

I am a property professional of over 15 years and sourcing an architect became a headache, that's until I found Andy at Design AI. I completely understand how daunting sourcing an architect can become but Andy takes away this stress with a professional yet laid back approach. He offers a highly personal service with a very collaborative approach. He makes it known that this is 'your' build and you can edit/change anything to suit your requirements. The process is explained thoroughly before instruction. I suppose the thing which separates Andy is his positivity to your ideas and seeks to create reality from them. Simply put: Look no further.

Andy had been extremely helpful in providing advice and layout plans with a complete solution to our renovation project. He is responsive timely to queries and very knowledgeable to all UK building rules and regulations. With his plans produced (within a week since appointment), we had granted permission for works with ease and completed the project with all the necessary technical guidelines successfully. Highly recommended.

Andy has been really great in taking the time to draw up the plans needed for an extension. From the initial visit (entirely social distanced) to take the dimensions of the house to the meetings to finalise drawings to the filing of planning, he has been wonderful. I can't recommend Design AI Ltd enough!
