Freeman Architecture Ltd

My wife and I purchased a bungalow that was stuck in 1970's. So we needed help to get it modernized. After looking for a local architect we choose Matt Freeman. We are very happy we did too. The knowledge he has, patience, eye for detail and he was very easy to deal with. I don't think we will ever do another major renovation project but if we did, Matt would be our prefered Architec. Thanks Matt, we have a wonderful modern home.

This is first big home project which required an architect. We were recommended to Matt Freeman by a friend. From the outset his service was fantastic. He kept in touch with us at all points and was also very good at explaining each stage of the procedure to us in a manner that we understood fully. Matt is very friendly and also very efficient in his work. We were not kept waiting on things. He also came forward with some great ideas that enhanced our original extension plan in a way that we could not have imagined. We are very grateful to him and would very happily recommend him to anyone. We most certainly wouldn't use anyone else.

Freeman Architecture provided a full service of design, submission to Planning and project management for our extension and refurbishment. We found Matthew Freeman to be professional, creative in his thinking around problems and quirks in the build and helpful in advising what not to include when budget constraints required paring back. Sarah Freeman looked at the kitchen design with me, and although I already had a plan of what I wanted, she helped me achieve this with practical and creative advice. We are delighted with the finished project which more than fulfils the brief.

As well as a professional service, Freeman Architecture have great design ideas that can really bring your project to life. Matt is very personable and friendly, listens and can help inform choices with a depth of knowledge and experience.

Matt drew up plans for an outbuilding, the quality & detail of which were the best of the three architect / architectural designers I've used to date. Very organised and professional, he promptly answered support questions during the build too. A pleasure to work with.

Matt came and had a look at our project and offered great advise on what we could potentially gain from an extension. His knowledge was invaluable in getting the wheels in motion to gain planning permission in a speedy timeframe. We would highly recommend Matt.

When we decided to extend our home, we invited over 5 architects to quote and also provide their ideas. Matt really stood out as someone I could work with; he was easy going, professional and understood exactly what I was trying to achieve. I found he was very willing to listen to my ideas but also was able to come up with many alternatives that part incorporated my own but also improved upon them. Some of his ideas I rejected and gave my reasons why - either budget, or not quite creating the living space we wanted and he used this to rethink and come back with new possibilities. We changed the scheme about 8 times and Matt was extremely courteous and had an incredibly quick turnaround. The speed of turnaround was very important to us as we wanted to get the plans in by a certain date and really appreciated this. He then handled the whole planning process, including altering and resubmitting the plans a second time!! At no point did I feel that I couldn't ask him to change something again - which is exactly how you want to feel when you are potentially spending a lot of on build; you want to be able to get the home right. I contacted Matt 10 months after my last contact with him to just enquire about a walkthrough to help visualise the finished property and he was kind enough to send me the model he had already previously created of our home during the construction draws. He could easily have charged me for this but didn't and this model was exactly what we needed. He then altered this model for free with some minor changes even once I had offered to pay a second time! If we ever need architectural services again, I will certainly be using Matt. I know friends who have had trouble with extra charges for alterations to schemes, or architects choosing to produce what they consider a nice home without real consulting clients wishes and so I feel lucky to have picked a competent professional with an excellent work ethic, speedy communication, competitive and generally a nice guy.

Matt was full of good ideas early in the planning process and went the extra mile to ensure the work was carried out correctly, keeping calm and in control when under pressure. He has been a pleasure to work with.

The plans for our loft conversion were delivered in a timely and professional fashion. Response to queries was prompt and there was flexibility when we changed our minds. Thank you.

We hired Freeman Architecture to draw up plans for a single storey extension. Matt provided an excellent service and was friendly and professional. He was quick to provide plans and understood our needs. His knowledge and experience helped to put us at ease having never done anything like this before. Communication was always clear and prompt.

Full set of drawings for single floor extension to rear of the house. Drawings were completed to an agreed time frame and amended at my request without delay. A full brief was carried out before drawing work started with Matt explaining what may be best for such an extension. The only amendments i needed to make was the roof covering as the zinc proposed (my choice) worked out very expensive so asked for an alternative and again was given advise without any hassle. Overall a very good service and would recommend to anybody in the future.
