Stuart Henry, March 2022

We arranged for this company to provide us with plans for our home. The representative arrived on time and was very helpful, informative and very knowledgeable. The plans were processed promptly. We also asked for information on party walls which was very helpful. We were very satisfied with the service provided.

Karen Graham, Thorley, Herts March 2022

David from Frontier Architecture is a very capable party wall surveyor. As this is our first project, we are not so sure about the steps and nervous dealing with the difficult neighbors. David took extra efforts to explain everything to us and dealt with the neighbors professionally. David's fee is also very very reasonable. Definitely value for money!

Worked with David on 2 separate projects on our property - a loft extension and a garage conversion. I found him very helpful and knowledgeable

J Bradford, Tiptree July 2021

We instructed David to produce plans for a rear 1st floor bedroom extension. He completed an initial site visit and spent a great deal of time with us discussing various design options. He is clearly passionate about his work and we valued this initial input which was pivotal in our decision to work with David. He was very patient and accommodating as we made several tweaks to our plans and he came up with revised drawings when required. I would highly recommend Frontier Architecture.

Darren Brownrigg, Woodford.April 2021

Was great to work with David, he provided a professional service, answered all my unqualified questions and provided great value for money in a decent time frame. Thoroughly recommend

Matt Jenkins, Harpenden, April 2021

Comprehensive service provided by David at Frontier. Provided a complimentary initial site visit and helpfully answered lots of questions there and then. Produced good plans, which he was happy to tweak a number of times as the project developed, and was communicative throughout. There were a couple of minor delays but I believe only because David was so busy, and plans were returned promptly after a follow up.

Jack B, Cambridge February 2021

Had a good experience with David. He gave good and thorough advice on the initial consultation despite there being no agreement that we would employ him at that point. The plans were done within the estimated time frame and changes were made quickly when requested. Highly recommended

C. Fisher, Cambridge February 2021

David drew up plans for our rear extension to build a playroom for our growing family. He was very helpful at all stages and talked us through our options and budget and was very accommodating of changes as we iterated on the design. He was always on hand to answer questions as we selected builders and went through the planning process. We were thrilled with the finished product and our kids love their new playroom, thank you!

Gerard Huke, North Weald January 2021

Amazing service. We needed a quick turn around on a planning application and drawings. David responded on the Tuesday, visited our house on the Thursday and submitted planning on the Monday. He was professional, kept us informed throughout the process and always responded to questions promptly.
We would highly recommend David and Frontier Architecture to any of our friends and family

Can't rate highly enough

Satnam, Parvaan Properties Ltd, January 2021.

best service, quick response

Mihai, December 2020

Used this company to design and submit drawings for a single storey extension. Free site visit for consultation was invaluable and David gave us many great ideas which we have used in the plans.

Frontier were also able to do all of the structural calculations which saved us the cost of a structural engineer. This meant we got a lot of bang for our buck.

Planning permission received today. Would definitely recommend Frontier.

Used frontier architecture for one storey extension drawings and would line to commend them on a fantastic service. Dave was extremely helpful and listened to our needs and provided a balanced view and honest advice Dave was available to chat through details regularly and visited our home on many occasions until we were content with the designs. Dave is available on weekends and evenings so we did not need to take time off work which was hugely important to us. The design received planning permission and we are delighted - cannot fault the service received.

Hannah, London & Peterborough. July 2019

David was knowledgeable, friendly and easy to deal with. He answered all my questions with clarity and gave suggestions to help with the plan.

Nina. Architectural Services, Harlow, May 2019

The website (Local Surveyors Direct) was easy to use, if you know what you're looking for.

Very thorough and knowledgeable, explained all the details, so we were confident with what we were buying. Communication throughout the process was great and shows willingness to liaise with our appointed builders to ensure the handover of information is smooth.

C.Neale, Chelmsford, Essex, April 2019

The Local Surveyors Direct website was good and easty to use. I got responses extremely quickly.

We used Frontier Architecture to come up with drawings and calculations for a single storey rear extension. They were helpful and efficient and explained the process as well as our options very knowledgeably. They were happy to amend the drawings when we needed them to. Having their drawings and structural calculations made it very easy to let builders know what we wanted, and the builders we spoke to praised them for being such good thorough drawings. Frontier submitted the plans to the council on our behalf and made the process as easy as possible for us. We would highly recommend Frontier Architecture!

T.Myers Loughton, Essex, January 2019

I received information from a number of companies very quickly once I described my project on the website.

I am incredibly happy with my choice of Frontier Architecture. I got great service and David from the company was infinitely patient with my many queries/emails as the local council did not exactly work speedily after my application for a Certificate of Lawfulness was submitted! I would certainly recommend David. His plans were excellent and I feel confident that my extension will be just what I want. I also would not hesitate to contact him for any future work.

C.Gordon, Ilford, Essex, December 2018

K.Jones, Turnford December 2018

We were so impressed with the plans drawn for our loft and side return extension- David had a wealth of knowledge and experience that is clear in the service provided. The help given throughout the planning process was amazing- we couldn’t have done it without him. Would 100% recommend.

K.Ayres Ware, Hertfordshire November 2018

The website was easy to navigate and upon my general enquiry, was given a short list or recommended architects.

Having contacted the architects supplied by LSD, all responded to my enquiry.

David at Frontier Architecture however stood out against the other. After a telephone discussion about my requirements he was very knowledgeable, informative but above all positive as to my requirements.

We arranged a meeting and site visit and he promptly arrived and this concluded with our decision to confirm his appointment to carry out the necessary work.

David took control quickly, supplied the plans and facilitated the communication with our local planning application office.
This resulted in a positive outcome and we now look forward to commencing works.

I would recommend Frontier Architects to anybody seeking a friendly professional architectural service.

B.Hammond, Hornchurch, Essex 2018

Will definitely recommend

Elitsa, Romford, Essex 2018

Frontier Architecture provided a wonderful service. Dave visited the site twice to discuss our plans and took on board all of our comments and requests as far as regulations allowed.

They obviously had a number of background discussions with planning to make sure that our submitted plans went through first time with very few comments.

Would highly recommend... Quietly efficient.

Mr & Mrs Vincent, Buntingford. 2018

Great service, very happy

Chris, Potters Bar. 2018

David has been extremely helpful and informative throughout the whole process. He made the whole process stress free and was a joy to work with! I would not hesitate to recommend him to others

Miss F Umit. Herts. 2018

So pleased to have found this company. I contacted 3 companies, this company was the first that responded and decided on that basis to only use them. They visited site on time each time they agreed they would come over. Drawings were done in brilliant time frame, never had to chase (which is rare) and got me planning at the first attempt.

highly recommend David @ Frontier. Really good guy and always at the end of the phone if I need him, which I still call him now.

Mr L.Gardner, Herts. 2018.

Frontier Architecture have provided us with an outstanding service. They have been professional, helpful and informative throughout the entire process of our extension from the design plans, planning applications, building control, build over agreement and party wall agreement. I cannot fault them and would highly recommend them.

Louise Horslen, Herts. 2018

Engaged David Hume of Frontier Architecture services to advise and design a single storey extension and he was spot on. We were looking for someone who could take away the stress and strain of dealing with experts in an area where we have little to no knowledge - we were assured as soon as he started to explain what needed to be done and how best to do it - what would work and what wouldn't - and like I said he was spot on. Thank you very much for your wonderful help and expertise.

Renee Horton Coker, Herts. 2018

David was fantastic, he completely understood our requirements and made some excellent suggestions regarding tweaking the project.

He dedicated lots of time to the project and was helpful and insightful with all aspects of our plans. He always responded quickly and stuck to his promises/deadlines. The plans were clear and exactly what we wanted and most importantly sailed through the planning application process (which he managed for us).

He was very personable and was happy to make time available (often at short notice) to visit us and go through the plans.

I would 100% recommend Frontier and will definitely use them next time we have any needs.

Mr & Mrs Dennis, Essex 2018

David Hume from Frontier Architecture was very professional and had good ideas for planning our single storey kitchen extension. I would recommend him to anyone.

Mrs M Marshall, Herts. 2018

David was a pleasure to deal with –thoroughly nice guy. Very knowledgeable and went over and above, with lots of general advise on the building process. Would thoroughly recommend (and have done so!)

Mrs S.Gillan, Hitchin, 2018

We have used Frontier Architecture for two projects and the service on both occasions has been fantastic. David makes the whole process of planning feel stress free and takes time and care to create the plans that work best for us. Our latest project was a side extension which David drew up for us to make sure we maximised space whilst still complying with council demands. I highly recommend the services of Frontier Architecture.
