Drafting Professionals in Hereford, Herefordshire

“We were really delighted with the designs from the General Architecture company for remodeling our Edwardian house. Kevin and his colleague really listened to our needs and came up with a design that was in keeping with the age of the property that maintained original features, whilst incorporating our needs for fish tanks, bike storage, and light! The design also allowed completion in stages to minimise disruption for family life. Kevin was able to answer queries promptly and help with all aspects of the planning process. Highly recommended."”

“Architect Garry Thomas provided an excellent service and did a great job designing our new house and getting it through the planning system. At the time he was working with another practice, and when he set up his own practice we had no hesitation to move with him as we were very happy with the services he provided. We would not have secured our planning permission without his determination, expertise and ability to present an overwhelming case to the planning department and planning committee. The end result exceeded our expectations. Garry always goes that extra mile to obtain the results required and expected of his clients. He is very easy to work with- very professional, creative and assisting of our needs. It has been a real pleasure working with him and we look forward to continuing to use Garry's services over the years to come.”

“Anthony Southey We have used Anthony’s services for the last 10 years. He has designed various styles of properties for us. What we like about him is that he is accommodating and very responsive.

“We had considered extending our house for several years due to our growing family but the layout made it difficult for us to envisage what was possible which actually put us off taking it further. Oliver was recommended to us and took the time to understand how we currently use our house and what we would like going forward. We wanted more open-plan family living but having an old-fashioned terrace with dark, box rooms, this seemed impossible. However, Oliver’s vision has transformed our house by adding a small extension and changing the layout to make the most of the space we have, it now feels like a much bigger, lighter and spacious house. Oliver was incredibly patient and professional, taking the time to explain every aspect to us as this was a new process for us. His plans offered various suggestions for us to review and choose which suited our personal tastes. We highly recommend Oliver as he was able to take our ideas forward into an achievable project and was very knowledgeable and personable.”

“Brendan and his associates are great guys to work with. They are professional and enthusiastic and their workmanship and communication skills are superb. This was our first project with Heritage Oak, not our last, and I hope there will be more.”

“Will from Architectonicus guided us to achieve what we wanted. He listened to our needs and presented us with a number of options to convert a dark flat roofed area of the house. We now have a lovely adaptable space space that meets our family needs.”

“Elliott Pardington We had been looking at the Old School in Goodrich near to Ross-On-Wye for almost a year, the paperwork as always seemed to be taking for ever. As usual this was down to making certain that we had a clean title. We finally completed the October 2018. The school had been closed in 2000 and remained shut till a group of local builders purchased the school in 2008. They had plans passed by Herefordshire Council and work got underway. For whatever reasons work stopped in 2013 and the school was put on the market for sale in 2014. The prospect of converting the near two hundred-year-old school into four houses was something we were really excited about, so whilst the solicitors were getting the paperwork all set up, we wanted to find an architect with the skills needed to maintain the character and history of the building. The original builders had not used an architect to draw up the original plans but had used a structural engineer, quite frankly we had we were not given any working plans so it was a case of starting again. Looking back now we think ourselves as being very lucky to have been given the recommendation of Elliott Pardington. First impressions are very important, we knew from when we had our first site meeting with Elliott that we had been recommended to a first-class architect. What impressed us was how easy Elliott was to communicate with, he understood everything about current building method, what new materials were available to be used on our 200-year-old school. A building of this age had many issues that were needed to be overcome to make it into homes that were fit for the 21st century. As you would expect from any good architect the plans and detailing on the plans were perfect. Armed with a full set of plans our build got underway, our team of tradesmen and builders had detailed drawings on site, but if there was anything that they were unsure of or unclear about Elliott was always available at the end of a phone. It was nice to see him on site as well, as he popped in on occasions to see what progress we were making. The project was completed in November 2019. We have sold two of the four homes with another sale pending. We have all heard the expression “Planning and Preparation Prevent Poor Performance” and it is in no small part that Elliott Pardington provided us with a set of plans that made our project an outstanding success.
