Freeman Architecture Ltd

We first started working with Matthew from Freeman Architecture about 18month ago when making initial enquiries about our project. We have been extremely happy with their service from day 1 and with their continued support are about to embark on the construction phase. Matthew and his team have always been very approachable, knowledgable and we have no hesitation in recommending them.

Helpful, constructive input. Good design. All taken to and through planning . . . all ready to go. Thank you!

Matthew was recommended to us and we are very happy to recommend to others! We were new to the area and new to building work and so his recommendations at the design stage and later recommendations on good traders and suppliers were very useful to us. The project changed from a reconfiguration to an extension and so we needed Matthew to change the original plans and design a new layout around the extension. He came up with a fantastic new plan that we are now working with for the build with a supplier that Matthew recommended.

We are very grateful to Matt for his work on designing ourr house extension and getting it through planning, which was not an easy process. He came up with w great initial design – we had to change some of it, but he enabled us to meet our objectives while keeping interesting new features to improve our property (a 1960s bungalow). He has been incredibly patient through some complex planning issues but got us to the finish line in the end. A big thank you, and a hearty recommendation.

A technically challenging assignment, flawlessly designed. Easy to work with.

We worked with Freeman Architecture to design, plan and oversee a substantial extension and renovation on our home which completed earlier this year. Matt was a pleasure to work with throughout, fully understanding the brief but also providing advice and design ideas that we hadn't considered. The professionalism and high standards demonstrated throughout the process were critical to the success. Matt was a calming influence for us overseeing the work and when unforeseen problems materialised was readily available to advise and provide solutions. Technical knowledge shown with regards to building construction was outstanding! Freeman Architecture are highly recommended, we love our redesigned family home and the end result has greatly exceeded expectations.

We are working with Freeman Architecture to redesign our home. Matthew has listened to our ideas, offered his own, and is guiding us through the process. Never has any one of my questions gone unanswered.

The task was the redevelop the rear of our house adding a small extension and creating an open-plan dining kitchen as well as re-designing the entrance to the house at the front. Matt provided an initial set of design ideas that we commented on which were then developed into a complete design. He advised on selecting a builder and then, as we were going to be abroad for part of the period when the building work took place, he project managed for us. Both while we were away and when we got back he was able to give us advice and suggest tweaks to the plans along the way. We were particularly pleased with his suggestion to include a 'living roof' using sedum plants on the small front extension. The whole process took quite a bit longer than we had anticipated - nearly two years from start to finish - not due to any fault of his or the builder but rather because of the demand for builders in this area in recent times. It was reassuring to have him advise us along the way.

We had a few conundrums to solve and Matt was very imaginative with potential solutions. We have now moved forward and his help has been invaluable in helping us to get planning permission.

Matthew has recently helped us design and plan our domestics renovation project. We have been really impressed by Matthew's work and would recommend him to anyone who is considering a similar renovation project. Matthew gave great advice throughout the process of putting the drawings together, he was quick to respond to communications, and was patient with us as our ideas changed throughout the process. The drawings were high quality and have been received really well by the builders we have shown them to. Thank you for all your help!

Freeman Architecture Ltd were recommended to me via my builder, who was equally impressed at the quality of the plans and drawings that he had used and seen previously. Matthew and his team were very professional, from my first approach to discuss my building project to completing the drawings ready for submission to the planning department. They have continued to be of great assistance in providing advice on particular aspects of my build, providing me a structural engineer for the “calcs” element and orchestrating the complete documentation ready for building control. A most professional company and worthwhile in the investment of quality drawings and advice.

Matthew Freeman carried out the design for my latest housing project. I can confirm that he provided an excellent, professional and friendly service. I have worked in the construction industry myself for 35 years, and it's always refreshing to come across like minded professionals who genuinely want to provide a good service. All of my requests were answered to agreed timescales and costs, and in fact Matthew helped me with additional aspects on my project without additional charges. I have come across many in the industry who are all too keen to try and claim extras for every single piece of additional advice. I would recommend Matthew for any of your architectural needs, and will certainly be working with him again in th efuture.
