Testimonials
Waqar was incredibly helpful, and the quality of his work is excellent. He completed the plan for my house extension two years ago, and even now he continues to check in and help whenever any issues come up. He’s become my go-to person for anything related to the house, and I always value his second opinion. His professionalism, reliability, and ongoing support make him truly stand out.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had an excellent experience with Waqar. He is very professional, extremely efficient, and provided fast service. He handled everything with the council planning authority and made the whole process smooth and stress-free for me. Highly recommend him if you need reliable architectural planning support!

Waqar has been brilliant from start to finish – from arranging a site visit at a mutually convenient time to giving me great ideas I wouldn't have thought of. The end result is a beautifully designed home, extended and transformed in a way that feels both practical and stylish. His attention to detail, creativity, and professionalism made the whole process smooth and enjoyable. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and would highly recommend Waqar and his team to anyone considering an extension or loft conversion
