Featured Reviews for Architects in Plymouth, Devon

Lignum Designs Limited
Architects in Plymouth, Devon
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 October 2019
“We have just received planning permission for our internal reconfiguration which Simon has designed for us. He visited us on several occasions and helped us to see the potential in our property exploring all the options available. Together we talked through how we want to use the house and we have used every pocket of space to reach that potential. Simon has been friendly and accommodating throughout and he has kept in touch regularly. He talked us through the planning process and kept us updated whilst successfully securing planning permission. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Simon, he is a highly skilled architect and we thoroughly enjoyed working with him. Many thanks Simon!”
Hand Drawn Home Architects
Architects in Plymouth, Devon
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars26 June 2024
“Hand Drawn Home Architects have been and continue to be an extremely impressive practice. I have been involved on one of there big projects in Kingswear as a subcontractor and experienced working with them on challenging details on a very impressive project. Off the back of which i chose to hire them to design and work with me on my own personal house project. I'm continuously impressed by the humble yet highly experienced approach to there projects. It is rare and so satisfying to work with an architectural firm that have such a depth of knowledge and competent successful approach to design, planning and detailing. Their portfolio speaks for itself. What i value in particular is that they put in great care into each project regardless of its size or architectural grandeur. I have no hesitation in recommending this practice as it will undoubtedly be a great benefit to your projects too. Owen.”
Trotman & Taylor Architectural Consultants
Architects in Plymouth, Devon
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 May 2020
“We have used Trotman Taylor; aka Clayton Taylor, on 2 occasions: The first time was for plans to build a 3 bay cart lodge - the plans produced were creative,comprehensive and instrumental in getting planning approval from Dartmoor National Park. Clayton guided us through the whole process. The second time was to integrate a separated upper floor from the main house and link it into the other floors. Again Clayton provided plans that were imaginative, innovative and maximised the use of the space. He also assisted with the application for Building Control to a successful conclusion. In both cases Clayton was thorough with several site visits, he communicated well at all stages of the planning with patience and full explanations of the different options for the build. His business plan was clearly set out. Clayton was able to recommend local builders and tradesmen all of whom said that ‘if you can't build off Claytons plans , you cant build off anything as they are so comprehensive and leave nothing to chance!’ We consider Cayton’s services to be excellent value for money and wouldn't hesitate to use this business again and we would recommend him to anyone.”

We dealt with the project remotely and could not have done it without the endless patience, attention to detail, imagination and good humour of the Catchfrench team and we absolutely love our house!”

Crayon Architects
Architects in Plymouth, Devon
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars25 November 2016
“We were fortunate to have Crayon Architecture recommended to us before our house purchase was completed. After our initial site meeting we were very impressed with Andrea & Dan's straight forward positive approach & instructed them to undertake the designing & drawing up plans to submit to the Council for approval. Crayon Architecture had the same enthusiasm & vision for our project as we did & that was extremely important to us. They were very professional & easy to work with. Crayon also provided us with 3 D design visuals which really bought the whole building site to life for us. We were always able to contact them to ask questions & they quickly provided the answers. We would highly recommend.”

“GY Architects made a complicated project a joy to work on. They came up with some fantastic ideas that complimented our own wishes and helped us through the planning and listed building applications. The presentation of our planning and listed buildings application was exemplary and there were no objections from anyone - almost unheard of! They provided the service that we wanted and helped us through the fine details. We would happily recommend them as an architectural practise.”

Architect or Architectural Designer FAQs
An architect is a professional who designs and creates building plans, ensuring the building is functional, safe, and aesthetically pleasing. They collaborate with clients to understand their needs and create designs that meet their requirements. Architects also consider building codes, regulations, and sustainability principles in their designs. They may oversee the construction process to ensure it aligns with the design intent.
If you are looking at a house extension or building a new home from scratch, chances are you are going to need the help of a residential architect. They have extensive knowledge of architectural design, construction methods and building materials, not to mention a strong appreciation of ergonomics – warmth, light and flow within a property. Architects will also be far more capable of seeing the bigger picture – carefully balancing aesthetic appeal with structural safety. With their local knowledge, your Plymouth architect will also often help to obtain planning permission and building regulations approval.

    After choosing a residential architect, you will usually start with a consultation to discuss the project. Preferably at your property or building site where the work will be done. Give as clear a picture as possible of the kind of home you are trying to create to your architects. Chat through your goals, projected budget, scope of work, schedule and feedback, together with any very specific requirements you might have. They will explain their process to you alongside any other on-site visits up to and including the build stage, depending on whether they will be involved at that stage. From there they will produce the designs and plans required for your project.
    The cost of hiring an architect in Plymouth can vary depending on the scope and complexity of the project, experience, reputation, and location. Architectural fees are typically structured as a percentage of the project’s total construction cost, ranging from 8% to 15%. For example, if a project has a construction cost of £500,000 and the architect’s fee is 10%, the fee would be £50,000. It’s advisable to discuss fees and payment structures with architects in Plymouth during initial consultations.
