Plans and Planning

Phil is fantastic and shows great project management skills with a wealth of experience and very knowledgeable. He is very efficient and nothing is too much trouble.

Phil and his team are the best in the business. We have been working with Phil for a numbers of years on a few different projects and he is our go to when it comes to getting quality, express value for money. We have a lot of success with Plans and Planning involved

Phil was very approachable, pro-active and got the job done - everything you would need from the service. He gave invaluable support throughout the planning approval process which was tricky to navigate at times.

Great to work with; makes constructive suggestions to improve the design and works well with the builder

I have worked with Phil on numerous projects and am always impressed with his extensive knowledge and design work. He is faultless when it comes to the details of the plans and has always been quick to respond. I look forward to working with him on future projects and I highly recommend Plans & Planning.

Phil provided an excellent service. He listened to my ideas and contributed his own valuable ideas. The design and plan was perfect and his management of the planning process (always challenging...) was first rate. The planning application was necessary to enhance the sale price and marketability of the house as part of a probate. The three dimensional illustrations will be invaluable in this respect. I have l already recommended Phil to a friend and would recommend him to anyone contemplating a house building project.

Phil was efficient, clear and very helpful, I would use him again and also recommend for anyone looking to embark on a house project.

Disappointed and would never recommend. Still living with the mistakes.

More than happy to recommend Philip from Plans and Planning, he spent a good while surveying our property and afterwards providing us with computerised images of the proposed suggestions, this made imagining the various designs extremely easy to see, everybody involved understood each image from the same aspect. So many suggestions can be lost due to people interpreting your ideas in a differing ways, the software Philip uses eliminated the chance of that happening. Philip has a lot of patience and quietly allowed us to explore lots of different angles. The overall application was painless and successful.

Phil couldn’t be more helpful. We are working to a tight deadline to get planning in before Christmas. We have used Phil for a previous project and needed a quick turnaround on this one. He delivered as usual. Great service and competitive rates.

Philip is easy to get along with and quickly understood our concepts. It couldn’t have been easier. He quickly built up 3D images whilst sitting in our dining room, thus visualising our ideas as they turned into design drawings. Through this process the design took shape very quickly and Philip then did the rest; adding engineering aspects and taking care of planning permission and building regs in a wholly professional manner. We can absolutely recommend Philip to anyone contemplating home modification. A superb service.

We have had great fun designing our new home with superb help from Phil and his interactive system. Phil has coached us, shared his years of professional experience and helped us design a house to meet our needs for submission to planing. And all of this within 3 weeks -so a highly efficient process. We would highly recommend Phil @ Plans & Planning.

Very good service, just what we needed. We went back for alterations and this was no problem. Cost was fair and they were very friendly.

Initial contact with Phil was excellent. He was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and full of ideas leaving us excited about our kitchen / diner design. Sadly that enthusiasm wasn't maintained. Once we had instructed (and started to pay) Phil seemed to lose interest and communication became more difficult, occasionally curt. There has been no interest in how our work has been progressing or what further support or service he can offer. What should have been an enjoyable, inclusive experience became a bit of a struggle and we got nothing out of the experience. Very disappointing overall and would not use again or recommend.

I used Plans & Planning to build my new double garage and Granny flat. Phil was very clear and easy going through out the whole process and liaised with the building company throughout the build. The project turned out better than we could have expected. I would not hesitate to recommend Plans & Planning for your next project. Colin Harrison.

Kitchen extension. Process was very easy and straightforward, plans drawn up, and submitted to planning. Very happy with whole process.

Plans and Planning were very professional in their support for our extension, providing prompt and accurate interpretations for our requirements.

Very curtious and professional. Listened to what we wanted and quickly designed plans getting them passed without any problems. Would recommend and use again ourselves if neede in future.

Phil is a fantastic architect, we are extremely happy with the plans he has made up for us. We Highly recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed working with Phil Kirk and Plan & Planning. He was extremely supportive and responsive throughout the whole process, and we are thrilled with the plans that we ended up with. And getting Planning and Buildings Control approval went very smoothly every step of the way -- despite the fact that the property is in a conservation area! The final stages of our project are still ongoing, but it's looking amazing so far!! Thanks to Phil for all your tireless efforts to turn our ideas into real, working plans for our project.

I have worked alongside Plans and Planning for many years now and experienced a good working relationship. Joint deadlines meet, first class plans and illustrations from Plans and Planning which I have found second to none. and excellent interaction. K Irish C Eng., M.I.Struct E.

Phil provided an excellent plan for the builders to construct to. The work was carried out very professionally and completed within the timetable. We would certainly use his services again in the future.

Phil helped us achieve planning permission by creating great drawings and focussing on attention to detail. Phil has provided us with sound advice and we value his expert opinion.

I have worked with Phil on various different projects, Phil is accommodating to work with, has great idea and his plans are precise to work from and go into great detail. We continue to work together as he offers a fantastic service to myself and my clients

I have had the pleasure of dealing with Phil Kirk professionally for a number of years. During that time he has been prompt courteous and reliable. His concepts are developed into 3-D images that show the client their potential development. He works in close association with Structural Engineers and delivers the complete package to enable compliance with the Building Regulations.

I've used Phil on a couple of occasions now and he's been excellent. I would particularly recommend him to people who have a clear view of what sort of design they want and want to see their vision quickly and accurately rendered, because Phil will turn that round at a fair price. That's not to say he can't add value through ideas - in fact he came up with a great idea for a loft conversion that I preferred to my own design - but he is careful to only do this if asked, which sets him apart from many architects., who can get quite precious about their own thoughts.

Excellent service,above and beyond what you can expect. Philip carries out a detailed survey but more importantly asks you what it is you want and his experience helps him to deliver exactly that. Philip also advised us on small changes that benefited the overall design and fitted our lifestyle as a young family and i would highly recommend.

Having decided to have a kitchen extension, we looked at several planners to provide the plans. We decided to engage Plans and Planning to carry out the work as they presented the most complete service. They also offered an innovative approach to the final solution which is what we were looking for. Throughout the design phase we were impressed with the overall professionalism and the way the took onboard our suggestions. Of particular note is the use of a "live planning" system which allowed us to comment on line as the plans were produced. Following completion of the agreed plans, they then completed the planning application process smoothly and efficiently. Phil Kirk is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Plans and Planning.

Phi Kirk is a local planner and has done some nice buildings in our area. His plans are very detailed and look excellent quality. He came round to look at a possible development project we have. We are still investigating options before we decide to proceed with a planning application, but Phil was very professional and would be a great help.

Philip was from the first appointment the architect for us, this being our first large renovation it was important to get things right. Philip was enthusiastic, full of great ideas and also listened to our requirements out of the project. He was very quick to send through computer images that we could add notes for him to edit which he completed the same day, a total of 7 drafts were done until we applied for planning which we achieved first time! Would 100% recommend. Adrian
