    Plans for an extension.

    Jason is brilliant, he is very compitent and knowledgeable. You can trust him to do a first rate job as fast as it can be done. He seems to know what you want before you do. Would recommend him to anyone. He has very good communication skills if you are not entirely sure what you want. (he likes fresh plums off you're tree) so you can bribe him with them.

    Plans for opening up kitchen

    Couldn’t be happier with the service Jason has provided. Quick response, great communication, very quick completion time on plans and all completed to a very high standard. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

    Downstairs bedroom

    Jason works very quickly. Within hours of the site visit he had something down on paper. We then sent variations backwards and forwards until the plans looked right. Jason was able to add all the small details i requested and has agreed to make any small changes needed to obtain planning consent within his fee. Thanks Jason. Fingers crossed for the planning consent coming through quickly.

    Front extension to chalet bungalow

    This was our email to him voicing our feelings: Before we continue with the re-application with yourself, could you please highlight what from the below is included in the total price of £xxxx that you are now quoting us for: (we listed the process and asked to clarify) In your initial message to me on MyBuilder.com you said that you "would be happy to sit down with you to go through what you have in mind and offer advice on the best possible schemes". We feel that you have not advised us properly as two storey front extension would never be allowed in our area (which was clear from the planning officer Paul's messages and another architect, that we seeked advice from, straight away said when he came to see us, that such extension would not be allowed due to how our neighborhood looks like). Therefore we feel now that we have paid you the £780 for a clear refusal of the application and we feel that you took on the job knowing well that it would not be approved (or if you did not know that, then you have misled us saying that you "have recently successfully completed many similar jobs in our area for very pleased clients"). His reply did not clarify any of the points of what would be included in the price and he just defended himself in a way that did not reassure us at all. so we decided not to continue with him and paid more to a different architect. Our overall opinion: he can draw you a castle if you would like one, no matter that it will not be approved.

    Answer from tradesperson:

    When visiting site for the first time I always offer my advice on the best schemes, I also state that planning permission is not always 100% guaranteed, especially on a proposed extension to the front of a dwelling. This was clearly explained at the very start, I also explained that if the planning officer had any issues I would spend as much time as needed (at no extra cost) to work with the planning officer to revise the scheme so I can get something approved. On this occasion I did this, I spent extra time working with the planning officer to try to get an approval. No revised scheme could be agreed with the applicant. I understand its frustrating when a planning application is refused, I cant guarantee an approval. If there was 100% no chance of an approval on this application the planning officer and I would not have spent extra time looking at and offering other designs/schemes to the applicant. I have certainly fulfilled my obligations (and more) on this job. Thanks Jason

    Kitchen/dining area extension - single storey at rear

    Jason has been great! He sent a very detailed response to my initial post and has been extremely proactive in getting the drawings to us in only 2 weeks from his visit. He offered good advice and ideas in his initial visit without making us feel as though we were being pushed into anything we didn't want. He has been patient in waiting for responses but always replies punctually to any emails. He was also happy to tweak things before we made the final decision. I would definitely recommend Jason to anyone looking for an architect.

    First floor extension over 1970s ground floor extension

    So Far so good. Planning application submitted. Await to hear then possibly some amendments needed but otherwise on to building regs. Jason quickly picked up the brief and produced the submission for approval. I initially felt Yarm would be geographically to far but Jason proved he can be on site and distance hasn't proved to be a handicap. So I would recommend you try Jason even if its not local to get a good job done.
