Architectural Drawings in Tavistock, Devon

“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.”

“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.”

“We have worked with Woco on a regular basis for the past 4 years, on several projects ranging from bespoke furniture-making to much bigger architectural projects. The guys are a pleasure to collaborate with - extremely sharp, fast, excellent at finding out of the box solutions, and always working with the greatest attention to detail. We really appreciate their design + build ethos, which helps them to bring beautiful fully-fledged creations to life. If we need to commission work, and the Woco team can do it, then we will do our utmost to work with them. ---- Attached a photo of a bespoke basin stand made in 2015 by Woco for one of our project.”

“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.”

“We had a great experience with Simon from Lignum. As well as being a lovely guy to work with, he was able to help us turn around high quality drawings to visualise what we wanted for a project within a rather tight deadline! He’s helped us think through any challenges and been so helpful and patient with any questions we’ve thrown at him along the way. Highly recommended - thank you Simon! :)”

“Absolutely amazing guy. Helped us at every stage of the build through to recommending building inspector. Very professional and considerate of situations required for our plans. Builders have even commented "it's great to get architect drawings that have accounted for windows as we haven't had to cut any bricks". Would recommend G3 Design & Architecture to anyone and everyone that needs plans done to their design with great help.”

“We were looking for an architect with a proven record of working with the local planning department, who understood and appreciated the vernacular of the wider area as well as the immediate surroundings. We had no hesitation in engaging TOA after seeing the quality of previous work and discussing our brief during the initial consultation. TOA's collaborative style made them easy to work with across all phases of the project from the evolution of the design until final completion. From the very beginning the knowledge, experience and architectural flair was obvious. Consequently we enjoyed the project experience. Tasked with our brief of opening up our lovely but small barn conversion to provide more light, space and a better relationship with the garden, TOA hit the brief bang on. The hugely detailed building pack made it easy for the building contractor to convert the design into reality. We are delighted with the end result that mixes modern design and materials with the existing.”

“I have used Clayton's service and expertise for over 20 years now and you will not find better, his drawings and construction notes are outstanding!”

“After searching for many months for our ideal home in Dartmouth, we discovered Puffin Cottage and were immediately captivated by the views. However, the property was smaller than our needs and whilst we had a vision for the living space we needed an architect to advise on whether our wishes were achievable and, more importantly, affordable. Qube came highly recommended by several local sources and Nigel very kindly agreed to come out and look at the property at very short notice before our imminent return to London. He advised us that our ideas (and budget) were feasible and set to work on drawings. Nigel completely understood what we had in mind for the design of our home and our wish to retain original features and character, have a minimal environmental impact whilst making maximum use of space and the stunning views. We were so excited on receiving the plans, his designs for the cottage were amazing, just what we wanted and more! Puffin Cottage required extensive remedial work, modernisation and remodelling. Nigel liaised with the structural engineer, surveyors, damp and drainage consultants, as well as getting planning permission approved by South Hams planning department in a sensitive area of outstanding natural beauty. Nigel and Di also handled the tendering of the project, contractor selection and project management. Throughout the whole process Nigel and Di have been fantastic and have shared our vision for the project. It was comforting to know that Qube had our backs and we were in safe hands - Nigel is a true man of honour and will NOT let you down! We are extremely happy with the end result and now have beautiful home that surpasses what we imagined possible and look forward too many happy years here. We would not hesitate to recommend Qube and cannot praise them highly enough.”

“Emma Heaver was the architect who helped us convert an old dilapidated (Grade-II listed) barn into three high quality holiday cottages. We provided a brief of what features we hoped to include and Emma turned our ideas and thoughts into a practical and workable design. Emma was very personable and easy to work with; she always listened to our ideas and thoughts, and offered sound advice on what was feasible and cost-effective. After the initial design phase, Emma steered us through the Planning Process, then helped us to select a building contractor with the right skills and experience. She handled much of the day-to-day project management during the building phase. As the build, progressed, she also provided lots of good advice on fixtures and fittings, everything from lighting to door-handles, flooring to paint shades. Emma also demonstrated an ability to work in a timely manner, whether modifying drawings to assist the builders or simply writing up minutes for our monthly project meetings. We are extremely pleased with the end results, and I receive many comments from my holiday guests praising the quality and design of the cottages and surrounding landscaping.”
