Architectural Drawing Professionals in Ashburton, Devon

“Some twenty years ago, Hugh became our architect for our new build house. It was a conventional ground floor three bedroom and garage with a green oak timber framed upper floor for living, kitchen, mezzanine etc. From the start, it was easy and pleasant to cooperate with Hugh, and he was most helpful in every respect, talking through our ideas and always giving good and useful advice; what he designed has since proved wonderful to live in! Hugh not only assisted us, but liaised with our builders, plumbers and electricians in an exemplary manner. As we were the project managers of the build, Hugh, with his expertise, made the whole project a much better experience.Over the years since the initial build, Hugh has always responded positively, and with his usual good humour, to our requests when we have felt his advice was necessary. We would thoroughly recommend him to anyone contemplating any architectural assistance.”

“Woodford Architects provided excellent guidance on the overall concept and architectural detail. There liaison and interaction with the other consultants and the local planning authority was very good. We found them easy and approachable, though also strong enough to ensure the original design principal was maintained, even under pressure from the client.”

“We've been delighted with the quality of the architectural design and project management Maria Escribano provided for our house extension and renovation project. Maria understood our requirements really well, proposed a superb architectural design for a modern kitchen extension and then enabled that design to be realised with an excellent eye for detail in her project management. We now have a wonderful addition to our house that we are really pleased with. The extension looks really good architecturally, fitting in well with the aesthetic of the older house and providing a new modern counterpoint with much enhanced amenity including bi-fold doors opening out into the garden. This also complements the renovation work carried out in the rest of the house which has provided amongst other things solar panels and more sustainable heating. Thanks to the excellent service provided by Maria Escribano Architects, we now have a house which we are very much able to enjoy.”

“Architecture and building works was something we had not done before and we found Van Ellen and Sheryn easy to work with and very professional, going beyond what was required to make the whole thing straight forward and trouble free. I wanted to convert an old conservatory into a usable space for all year round use. Van Ellen gave very good initial advice about what options were available to us with regards to the architectural work and costs. Then once we had agreed on a plan were excellent at giving us ideas based on what we thought, but added numerous options of theirs. They then gave us clear drawings of the different options and a smooth transition through the planning permission. They gave us numerous recommended contractors, material ideas, and even helped afterwards when the contractors had more technical questions at no extra cost.”

“Excellent service, remained dedicated and professional throughout. Planning would not have been permitted has it not been for Jason and teams hard work and efforts..thanks!”

“Ours was a long project from initial design ideas to actual completion. We wanted to renovate and extend a listed building. From the outset, Carl, of Kennet Design, sought to understand our views and ideas, while helping us understand what might be possible and realistic. The project was complicated by the need to adjust plans over a period of time in order to ensure listed building consent. The nature and condition of the old house required additional input from structural and historic experts - and Carl was able to recommend thoughtful professionals who could explain their findings to us in layman's terms. Carl was able to meet them and us on site as required. Realising the finished design required a skilled and versatile local builder, able to work in traditional and modern materials - once again, Carl's recommendation proved to be vital and we are delighted with the result.”

“Having used them on several projects i have found, they have always been helpful, come up with great designs, always listened and work with you all the way through the projects. have a very high standard of work and finished project”

“We hired Lees Munday to help us with our project. When we started we thought that we knew exactly what we wanted and that it was only a matter of getting professional drawings made up and interfacing with the council. For that level we thought that fees were a bit much - but given that it was a large project we decided to proceed anyhow. This turned out to be the best money we ever spent, David took us through a number of iterative drawings talked to us about how we would use the space and came up with solutions and designs that were so much more innovative than we had considered. During the approvals process David led the interactions with the Council and helped us secure permission - meeting repeatedly with the officers prior to submitting plans to establish the likelihood of acceptance. He really sweated the detail on our behalf and acted as our advisor on selecting builders - his bid pack was very detailed and well presented, allowing us to accurately compare prices and negotiate (and understand the reasons) for differences between quotes. During the build process David and the builders were able to communicate using text messages and pictures. The builders really liked the fact that when they got "stuck" they could clarify with him there and then. This kept the job moving along. David & Yvonne came to site regularly to make sure that everything was going to plan and help co-ordinate with all the certificates and approvals and inspections. I particularly liked the way that we could bounce ideas around and that they "challenged" our thinking in a productive way rather than doing just what we told them to, or doing just what they wanted - the collaboration & rapport was excellent. In short, what seemed like a lot of money when I started the project turned out to be the best money I spent on the project and really made the house a home! I have recommended Lees Munday to friends already, and would not hesitate to do so again. Top notch!”

“We wanted to update the look of our 1970s pebbledashed house. Alistair’s ideas and help proved invaluable. He took on board what the issues were and guided us really well. He tactfully steered us away from potential pitfalls. He and his colleagues were very prompt with information and feedback. They made a great job of drawing up our plans.”
