Shear Architectural !We have used Darryl on many occasionsAnd find him to be 100% professional and efficient .Would highly recommend !!!

Darryl and Shear has been great to work with. He really took his time to understand what we were looking for with the addition of space to our 1930's bungalow. Drawings and modifications were turned around very quickly and we found hime very responsive to all questions.

It has been a pleasure working with Darryl in forming the plans for our home. Darryl is incredibly personable, professional, approachable and honest. Darryl has a very positive attitude to work and kept us informed throughout the process of design and planning permission.We especially felt well looked after with Darryl's total understanding and tenacious approach to meeting our conversion and extension desires. What we were told was not possible, Darryl made possible - he has given us our family home.He is clearly a specialist in his field, and very prompt in response to any queries raised throughout the journey.Wouldn't hesitate to work with Darryl again.

We had an outline plan in our minds of how we wanted to maximise expanding our house whilst maintaining its cottage feel. Darryl personally visited us and showed us how we could substantially increase volume upstairs to add 3 bedrooms and an ensuite within the footprint, under permitted development. Darryl arranged for his surveyor to call around followed by an engineer and all went to the timescales we were given. Although the local Planning department imposed untenable restrictions, Darryl used his initiative and contacts to reason with the case manager and swiftly agreed to submit full planning. Once again, planning let us down but Darryl immediately got into this and achieved the desired result we needed. It was comforting to deal with a proactive professional who understands how planning officers think and work. So not only were we given a fixed price and a step by step plan of action but when there were frustrating problems with the local authority, Darryl’s experience and abilities to deal and solve planning problems came to light. We have another project in mind and we will definitely be using Shear Architectural Design Ltd for this.

Darryl has been enormously helpful and a real pleasure to work with. He produced fantastic plans for our conservatory and was really good at keeping in touch throughout. Excellent service from start to finish. We can't recommend him and his company highly enough.

Darryl helped us redesign our 1930's bungalow to help create a lovely home which now flows perfectly. He also helped us with planning permission and building regulations for a rear and side extension.Darryl was patient with us through our design process, as material costs increased, we had to adapt and think about what could be realistically achieved within budget, which meant a couple of redesigns. All these changes were made very quickly and helpfully.Darryl stayed in contact until our building contractors were in place, who he also recommended and they have been great.We've not quite finished our project and we are hoping to enlist Darryl's help again for the final stage.

Darryl gave me clear, accurate information (verbal and written), about the processes involved to convert my garage and how to go about applying for permissions from the relevant authorities and agencies. He also did all the liaising on my behalf, and he is very knowledgeable about all the latest planning laws and regulations. He was clear about the costs involved and did not deviate from what had been promised from the outset. He suggested the best options for using the minimal space available and adapted the plans according to my needs and specifications until I was happy. He always made himself available promptly and nothing was ever too much trouble.Lastly, he provided a list of reputable builders who he has worked closely with in the past, and trusts to carry work to a high standard. Unlike previous experiences with building work at my home, everything proceeded smoothly, efficiently and concluded extremely professionally, and I’m happy with the outcome.

Shear architectural are a very professional but friendly company Darryl’s attention to detail is second to noneHe makes sure clients are happy and get the designs and outcomes they want he makes the whole design and manage stage stress free and is always on hand for any questions and any amendments required .I would recommend shear architecture design as a first and only for any required planning and design services .
