Scott was professional and friendly. He listened carefully to our ideas and proposed some excellent solutions to problems. He continued to return to check the progress of the build which we found very reassuring. We love the finished result and have a home that our family will be able to comfortably live in for years to come. Thank you for making the process so easy for us Scott.

Scott designed a rear and side single storey extension for our 3 bed semi-detached. He also designed the complete refurbishment of the existing house and added a loft extension. Throughout the design process he was open and communicative and timely. He took on board comments very well and the next iteration of design would usually be exactly how we would want it. He gave ideas and developed them into the design. He produced designs that the builder said were very good and to a level of detail he is not usually used to in architects for residences. He worked closely with the builder to overcome issues in a timely manner and supported me in site visits and provided reports. All in all a great experience working with Scott and he has produced a house which we are very happy in now. I would highly recommend Scott.

Scott assisted me in completing a sizeable project to create a lovely family home for my new young family. We added 80m2 in total and he took care of all of the drawings, as well as the planning which all went very smoothly. He also recommended a very good structural engineer and even organised my drain survey. Scott took a lot of weight off of my shoulders and he was very responsive to any correspondence, always getting back to me within 24 hours. He is very well organised and I’m lucky that I had him by my side for my first project, I will certainly be using him again. Being an electrician myself, I am familiar with reading architects drawings and Scott’s are amongst the clearest and most well thought through I have had the pleasure of working with. Highest recommendations!

We employed Scott to design a large 2 storey side and back extension with loft conversion. We had various issues with the council’s planning department and Scott was very helpful and informative, and he helped us to finally gain the required planning permission. We found Scott to be very friendly and helpful and he gave us good advice throughout the planning and build processes. Scott’s communication skills were very good and we loved the final design of our building! All the builders we spoke to said the designs were the most detailed and professional ones they had ever seen. We thoroughly recommend Scott.
C. Herron
Scott listened to our ideas on what we wanted for our build project and drew up three initial designs/plans for a two bedroom/one bathroom loft extension and a large kitchen extension. We chose one of the plans that we really liked and he worked further on it with more detail to make it fit exactly to our requirements. Throughout the initial design, consulting with builders and build stage Scott was there at all times to answer questions and check that our plans were being met and ensured we knew what and when each stage of the design/build stage happened. We received an extremely professional, courteous, well priced and timely service from Scott and would not hesitate to recommend him for any architectural work required.

I would highly recommend Scott Francis if you need assistance with an extension, plans for a new house or architectural drawings for any kind of building project. He was able to maximise the potential of the project in ways that I wouldn't have envisioned possible. He helped me navigate through the project easily from conception, through the planning process to final completion of the build by providing detailed and professional guidance at every stage of the process. I was delighted with the final results and I look forward to working with Scott on new projects in the future.
C. Lane
Scott did an excellent job on our kitchen extension. He made it really easy for us to discuss our ideas and needs and came up with several different layouts that we hadn't even considered. We are so pleased with the final result and would definitely recommend Scott.
S. Woodgate
We were delighted to have employed Scott to draw up the plans for our loft conversion, from the very beginning his attention to detail was apparent. Scott provided us with a couple of well thought out options after thorough conversations to pin point our aspirations for the space. During those meetings he guided us to consider the finished space and how we might decorate & furnish it, so we could incorporate those ideas from the beginning of the build. The finished product has left us with a stunning new stair case leading to phenomenal additional living space. We would have no doubt in recommending Scott.
S.Swann
Scott Francis has assisted us in a professional capacity for some years. He drew up plans for a major extension and advised and acted as our liaison throughout the build. We have been very happy with the service he has provided and have found him to be both professional and courteous.
M. Laurie
We used Scott Francis for a large loft extension on our home. His clever design and simple explanations of the complicated process helped us achieve a space we are delighted with. We would recommend Scott who is very professional, affordable, but also friendly and patient.
N. Bagilhole
'Scott was introduced to us by a mutual friend to design, plan and oversee the addition of an ensuite wet room to our main bedroom. It was made more complicated (bureaucratic) by the discovery of a foul pipe over 3 metres below the planned building. At all times Scott was diligent, professional and kept us fully informed by email, regular visits and with comprehensive drawings. His brief included interviewing the proposed builders and supervising the building, and at times advising the builders of omissions and areas of quality that required attention. Without Scott's valuable assistance at all stages the work would not have been completed so successfully and without stress to my wife and I. We would recommend Scott without reservation.
C. Collins
We have greatly appreciated your hard work and professionalism throughout the project, in particular the way you have listened to our needs and ensured that they have been incorporated into the designs.
C. Mabberly
Scott Francis comes highly recommended for his service and professionalism. The plans for the extension to the rear of my house were received promptly. Nothing was too much trouble for Scott who answered all my questions and concerns in a comprehensible way to me and I am most pleased with the results.
M. Corsi
We contracted Scott Francis to help draw up and design our proposed conversion of our kitchen and dining room into an open plan living space. We were very happy with Scott's architectural design services; he provided several thoughtful plans, schemes with feasibility and pros and cons and was always responsive, insightful and collaborative at all of our meetings. Overall were we very satisfied with the high level of friendly and professional service he provided. I would highly recommend.
