TESTIMONIALS

Highly recommend D.H. Design & Build, having just smoothly handled my planning application through to final approval. Darren was very easy to work with – listened carefully to my needs & wants, made great suggestions, helped find quality contractors, quickly created drawings and supporting documents for the planning application, and proactively handled challenges back from the Council Planning Department. Will certainly be reaching out to Darren again for future Planning Applications.

Dan Camina – April 2023

My wife and I were nervous about having extension work undertaken on our property partly because we’d never gone through this process before or invested so much money. We understood the planning and design work would be very important in delivering a successful outcome.

Darren was recommended to us and after an initial consultation, Darren created high quality software generated plans, that looked professional, detailed and even received praise from a number of builders we had quote us for the actual building work. Darren navigated local authority application processes on our behalf ensuring regulatory compliance saving us time we simply did not have due to work and young family stressors. If we had questions or concerns

Darren was able to put our minds at rest – he was only a phone call away and would often turn up on site, during the project, to see how work was progressing. My family are very happy with the end result and would happily recommend Darren to design your next project.

David Coates – April 2023

I first contacted Darren, of DH Design and Build Ltd, in January 2021.

He came round to see me very quickly and was able to advise me on what would be possible with regard to an extension to the back to the house. In a very short time he supplied me with detailed costings, saw my application through the planning stages and gave me comprehensive building plans. Once the build was under way, he called round several times to check that all was as it should be.

I always knew exactly how much every stage of the design would cost and was treated fairly and sympathetically at all times. In addition to all this, Darren is a very engaging person and always willing to advise when the inevitable problems arise.

I have no hesitation in recommending his firm as a first-class company.

Joan Mills – February 2023

Darren has been great throughout the process and went above and beyond when the council had significant delays due to staffing issues. He stayed on top of the planning application and kept pushing it forward. Darren is reliable,
responsive and easy to work with. Excited to now make the build a reality.

Ramon Wiersema – February 2023

Darren was recommended by our neighbour and has proved to be an excellent choice. This is our first involvement with an Architect and Darren has walked us through the process step by step, making the procedures so straight forward I hardly feel that I have done anything other than to explain what we wanted. Darren is very professional yet very personable, he is great to work with and I would highly recommend him.

David Vaughan – February 2023

Darren was our architect for a single storey extension. He was professional and courteous when visiting our property to take measurements, and was very informative of the design process. He kept us informed and up to date with our planning application, and would always respond to emails/calls immediately.
His work is to a very high standard, and I would highly recommend him.

Angela Norman – February 2023

Cant recommend Darren highly enough!! after a bad experience with our previous architect we were recommended Darren by a friend and what a difference!
