Chris is very professional, punctual, friendly and above all else was able to explain complicated concepts in simple, plain English. Can't recommend him or his firm enough!

Chris was extremely helpful when we required some advice regarding a proposed new housing development opposite our home. He helped us to contruct an email pointing out why the development would not be suitable there (not just because it's in front of our house!). He was extremely helpful, friendly and professional and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him to others. I know people who have also appointed him to work for them and speak exceptionally high of him and his work. Thanks for your help Chris!

Thank you Chris Froggatt of Architectural Building Design Services. We have just got planning permission for phase one of our site development. Excellent architectural designers as well as highly professional. Highly recommended for the very detailed and refined project that was rejected previously on numerous occasions by different architects.

We have worked with Chris, from Architectural Building Design Services, on a number of projects now and wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend him. He's extremely knowledgeable and skilled at his job, who produces professional and understandable designs, all at a very competitive rate. Chris is easy to deal with and eases clients through their planning process in a hands-on well managed manner. Excellent service and I highly recommend him.

I hired Architectural Building Design Services to draw up plans for our extension and to submit them to the council for approval. I was very happy with the service ABDS provided. They came to our home twice to make sure they knew what we had in mind and made some very useful suggestions which we hadn't considered. ABDS were very quick with the drawings and kept us informed about the progress of the plans through the planning process to the end. I would highly recommend Architectural Building Design Services to anyone.

We would like to thank you for all of your ideas and solutions that you came up with in planning our extension of our family home, which we desperately needed for our growing family. Your professional and friendly approach made you really stand out.

We would like to express our appreciation for the speedy service given to us by Architectural Building Design Services for designing and obtaining all the relevant approvals for our new home. You took away all the difficulty in dealing with the Local Authority and you also put us in touch with the right builder for our project. Once again, thank you, and we will have no difficulty in recommending you to others.

Having no previous building experience we searched the internet for an architectural designer and after seeing three we decided to engage the services of Architectural Building Design Services. They have been very easy to work with and straightforward in their approach. The drawings which they submitted on our behalf were very clear and easy to understand, in fact the builder even remarked how detailed they were.

The whole process has been made very easy, with lots of information given to keep us in the picture and let us know what the next step was. We recommend them without hesitation.

Chris from ABDS visited one of my longstanding clients and gave her sound jargon free advice. She was happy with the advice and has started the planning process that she has been talking about for many years with the help from Chris. Thanks

We have used the services of Architectural Building Design Services for a renovation and new build project. We have found Chris to be professional, proactive and knowledgeable. The design plans that have been presented to us have met and exceeded our expectations and have demonstrated that all our needs were listened to and understood.

ABDS prepared and submitted plans for a new garage and separate house on land adjacent to my property. Chris made this process very easy and the plans were accepted with minor amendments. Chris dealt with the planners on my behalf and I would recommend his services.

We used Chris to design our new extension and we were very happy with his work. Chris actually saved us from some problems we hadnt considered so we are very grateful to him and the team. I would recommend Chris to anyone looking to find a good architect
