They were brilliant!
“We were very happy with the design and input that Mike and David had. They also helped all the way through the process and put simply, they were brilliant! With that in mind, they were well worth the money in my opinion and would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who wants a well-designed project with need to end assistance with the bits they are involved in.”
Dean – On behalf of the Mad About Electrics Team
Pure Talent
“Mike is an Architect with a huge passion and flair for property. I’m my opinion he is a traditional and yet modern 21st century architect, over the years I’ve seen the fantastic work. You could say he has created a renaissance of design with massive appreciation of our vernacular heritage. As a roving Surveyor I have experienced professionally so many of his creations. Pure talent.”
