CLIENT FEEDBACK
'Brad was really informative and helpful when doing our drawings for our house renovation/ second storey extension. He also liaised with planning and saw the whole process through with professionalism, dealing with the added complications of gaining permission in a conservation area. Many thanks Brad, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend you.'
Mrs Barlow May 2024
'Brad was recommended by a friend a couple of years back to work on our single story rear extension and we’re so glad we listened. After our initial meeting online, he understood exactly what we wanted and sent over some incredible 3D visuals which really helped our dream come to life. Throughout the whole process, Brad has been professional, easily contactable and he has gone above and beyond to help us with some obscure issues that have cropped up along the way. All the tradespeople we have worked with have commented on the great quality of Brad’s work, the detail in his drawings leaving very little room for error or confusion once the build began. Brad has been adaptable to ours and our builders needs, making recommendations which consider future issues that could crop up with a hefty storm drain that runs through our back garden and even come out for a site visit when we needed further help with decisions about our patio design. Brad’s excellent communication has been really reassuring for us throughout our project, having never embarked on anything like this before. To anyone who is currently looking for an architect, we can’t recommend BD Architectural highly enough..
Mrs Challinor March 2024
'I used B D Architectural to design a single storey extension on a tight timeline. Brad was flexible and worked really hard to meet my deadlines which was greatly appreciated! Brad designed exactly what I was after and came up with some clever suggestions that I'd not thought about, which met my requirements even more successfully! I've never been through this process before and was nervous about what was needed and at what stage. Brad supplied all the information and I have complete confidence that I chose the right architect!
Thanks Brad!'
Mrs Bennett July 2023
'We used BD Architectural to help plan our extension. We can’t recommend Brad enough! He came to visit us and our property very early on and genuinely listened to what we were trying to achieve. We really appreciated Brad’s experience and innovative thinking as we didn’t exactly know what was possible; Brad’s solution has allowed us to affordably add value to our home and also make it much more family friendly. We have just started building (Brad took us through drawings, planning permission and building regulations) and we can’t wait to see the results. Brad was responsive and approachable, allowing us to go from the germ of an idea to starting the project within a few short months. We would absolutely recommend'
Mrs Yates May 2023
'I can’t recommend Brad enough, after all the hoops that we had to jump through with the council planning office Brad was always on hand, the level of service Brad gives is unquestionable, any future projects I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Brad to anyone.'
Mr Peacock March 2023
'B D Architectural have recently assisted with a successful planning application.
The services provided have been impeccable; from the prompt, friendly and professional service, to the high quality plans, and the submission and management of our planning application.
I would highly recommend B D Architectural and wouldn't hesitate in using them again in the future.'
Mr Godwin 12th January 2023
'We have a 4 bedroomed 1960s house on a large plot, that needs a lot of updating and some extension work. We formed a good relationship with Brad after he visited us several times over the course of around a year, during which time we changed our minds several times! He was very patient and made several alterations to the plans. He was always ready with good ideas, but he was also very mindful of the costs. We have finally got well underway with the extension & renovation work and looking forward to the results. Brad is professional and reliable; he responded quickly to our (many) demands with good humour. He is a good communicator, and he was able to work with us in person and remotely, making use of digital modelling on occasions, which was very useful. We would highly recommend him to anyone in need of an architect.'
Mr McPhail 16th December 2022
'Not a standard and easy application as it turned out and was great to have Brad at the end of the phone, to advise and manage our application.
We are happy to recommend Brad without any hesitation.
Many thanks again Brad'
Mr & Mrs Ward 6th November 2022
'We contracted Brad after seeing his businesses advertisement on our local Facebook noticeboard. It has been extremely handy living local to us as it has been easy for him to pop over when needed. Both me and my husband have been really impressed with Brad's work from the get go. Brad came one evening and we spoke about what we wanted, his turn around time for the initial proposals was super impressive, we wanted to make a few tweaks along they way and Brad has been more than accommodating. I've phoned Brad on numerous occasions with simple questions or ideas which he has been more that happy to answer swiftly. We are in the process of having our extention built and I believe our contractors have got a good flow of communication with Brad, which helps the whole progress run smoothly. I would 100% recommend Brad's services to anyone. He has been extremely helpful, professional and responds very quickly to matters. His knowledge has been priceless and just what we needed for a couple that didn't really have a clue with where to start with having an extension put onto our house!
Thank you again Brad for your exceptional services!'
Mrs Norrish 6th April 2022
'Highly recommend Brad.
Went above and beyond for us, kept us informed every step of the way-including zoom calls which seem to be the way of the world at the moment. The pictures and videos brought our ideas and plans to life'
Mrs Richardson 5th January 2022
'A huge thank you to Brad @bdarchitectural for the plans for our extension. So quick and efficient from design through to Building Regs submission. Can't believe extension is already on the home stretch!'
Mr Roberts 5th October 2021
'We've had a great experience with Brad both in designing renovations for a 3 bed house, and full planning for a detached 4 bed new build. All work has been completed within timescales specified and has been very high quality. Brad has been very good at listening to our requirements and proposing sensible changes that have really made a difference. He is also very aware of other partied involved in the planning and construction process and has been able to advise us on these areas too. Would highly recommend using him'
'I can’t recommend BD Architectural enough. Brad is friendly, knowledgeable and honest. If your ideal proposal just isn’t possible, Brad will offer endless alternatives until you can make a decision you are happy with. Nothing is too much trouble. Fantastic service'
Mrs Shearer-Dixon - 6 July 2020
'The service we received from Brad at BD was professional, thorough and of a very high standard and at a very competitive price. The plans produced for our large granny annexe extension were passed by the council without any problems. We would not hesitate to recommend using their services. It made the whole process painless'
'Brad has been professional, patient and generous with his time and knowledge to get us to the point where today the annex build is starting. The administration of the project has been well organised and efficient. Great business to work with'
'Brad is being brilliant in working on my very small, tentative project to create a dormer feature which is more than an ugly square box. Really appreciate his sensitivity and willingness to be flexible with ideas. Looks and measures by hand, thinks and creates rather than taking an easy and 'same old' approach. Hope I can post pics in the new year of my somewhat out of the ordinary outcome.... would definitely recommend Brad.'
Mrs Kirkbride - 10 August 2019
'I would definitely recommend Brad, going into our project with zero experience of house extensions he was a huge help. Brad was knowledgeable and helpful with all aspects, explaining the process step by step, wherever we had questions he would promptly give feedback or point us in the right direction. Any changes we made to our plans were completely understood and changes made efficiently. Additionally recommending local builders, structural engineers. Due to his experience he was able to advise us the proper way to go about things and how to avoid the pitfalls some people may fall into'
'We have been very fortunate to have been passed Brad’s details as a local architect for our project. He is always calm, and takes the stress away from the client by having such a positive ‘can do’ attitude. He is always very responsive to our questions and requirements, and continues to take a genuine strong interest and provide support as our build commences. He also helped to find us a local builder who we are equally pleased with, and this has enabled our project to get off to a great start. We would strongly recommend Brad without any hesitation'
'Brad was excellent. Would recommend him without hesitation. He was responding promptly through the project even if our builders had questions after the design was completed. Very impressed.'
'I would recommend brad highly. nothing is too big or small and any questions I had were answered. Thank you brad for your help'
'Brad has been amazing with designing our extension. Every questions or design change we’ve requested has been answered quickly. He’s been really helpful and the process of getting drawings has been smooth and quick. We would definitely recommend you use BD Architectural if you’re thinking of extending.'
Mrs Siddall - 15 February 2019
'We needed a loft conversion in the house that we were renovating. Brad guided us through the whole process, he was able to give advice on building and planning regulations and even sorted this for us once the drawings were complete. The drawings were fantastic and he would send us preliminary sketches as the process developed, he genuinely cared about the result. Brad was able to recommend structural engineers and was a huge help throughout, we would not have wanted to tackle this without him'
John & Laura - 2 April 2018
'We contacted Brad as we were in search of a competent and helpful architect that could assist us by producing the drawings required for planning and building control for an extension on our property. Upon first contact with Brad he listened to our needs and ensured he would be able to advise as necessary, taking into account our lack of knowledge and confusion when trying to process some of the things that the council were asking for. Brad helped by not only producing the plans that we need but also advising on plans that we initially requested that we did not actually need; a trustworthy gesture to say the least! Brad was fast, co-operative, helpful and above all else extremely professional from start to finish. I would certainly contact Brad for any future project.'
'We contacted BD Architectural when we were beginning the process of designing a modern and sizeable extension for our modest bungalow. As soon as we met Brad, we felt confident he was the right person for our project; he had a similar vision to us and was able to provide us with some design insight and inspiration immediately. On appointment, Brad worked efficiently to create some impressive concept drawings, proving he’d taken on board our own ideas and requirements, as well as embedding some of his own vision and design concepts. He listened to our feedback and was quick to make any amendments. Brad created professional planning documentation and worked closely with our assigned planning officer, resulting in a positive final decision notice. We’d have no hesitation in recommending Brad to anyone taking on a project; he thinks outside the box and is clearly passionate about his work. We’re just excited to get it built now!'

'Brad has delivered a fabulous and spacious open plan home for my wife and I. From the moment we chose Brad he was the personification of excellence, bringing our dream of open living to a reality, he worked tirelessly throughout the entire build , always on hand and available to walk us through the process on an extensive renovation. We would without hesitation recommend Brad to anyone , who in the future commissions Brad to bring their dreams to life will, I am sure be as happy with the result as we are'
Mr & Mrs Horner - 2017
‘Brad was able to complete and advise us on a loft conversion in 2015. Brad was a font of knowledge and had some very good ideas, that enabled us to utilise the space we had to its best potential. Brad advised us on all aspects of the conversion and which agencies we needed to speak to regarding the work. Brad was very professional, reliable, punctual, flexible and works to a very high standard, I have since recommended him to friends and would definitely be in touch with him in future if we needed any more work doing.’
