Throughout the whole process, Mike has been attentive, knowledgeable, supportive and informative. This is a stressful, long process but D2D have made it so much easier. (Reviewed September 2021)

Mike's knowledge of building and planning regs has so far been invaluable in translating our ideas into a realistic design. Fees seem reasonable too. (Reviewed June 2021)

I needed to get retrospective planning permission for a hard-standing/ parking space constructed at my rental property in Peacehaven. I had been struggling to find someone to help me. I found Draft2Design's details via a Google search. Mike was able to start the application the following week and submit it promptly on my behalf.
There were a few queries and an objection to the work which needed to be resolved but this was smoothly sorted and the application was approved ahead of the deadline.
I would not hesitate to recommend Draft2Design, or use them again if I need these services again in the future. (Reviewed August 2020)

Mike Farrell from Draft 2 Design was very helpful from the start, he gave me through advice and visited before submitting my plans. He also stepped in after his duty was done to help me fix a problem left with another builder. He came out took photos and made arrangement with one of his trusted builders to rectify and finish the job properly. I am truly grateful to his help, won't hasitate to come back to do business with him in the future. (Reviewed January 2020)

I was recommended Mike Farrell to draw up detailed plans for building a wooden framed building on the site of an old shed. He did it perfectly and worked well with everyone to make sure we got the necessary planning permission and that the builder had the accurate drawings he needed. As a novice to building work he was a delight to work with and made the process very straightforward. I have no hesitation in recommending his services. (Reviewed January 2020)

We have used Mike several times now for various projects and he never disappoints. Mike always goes above and beyond. His drawings were spot on and had some fantastic ideas. He took on board our ideas and made tweaks so it was just how we wanted it. He dealt with the planning side of things as well which took a great strain off us. He also suggested a great landscape designer and between them the plans look great. I have recommended him to all my friends and family. (Reviewed January 2020)

Mike provided us with all the drawings required to get our new build through the planning process. Although there were many obstacles during the process Mike was able to adapt to our needs and provide changes to drawings very efficiently and promptly.

This is the second time I have used Draft2Design for a house extension. Mike is a very busy architect, which can only be a good sign that his services are in demand. Mike is easy to work with, very flexible to changes being made (even at the last minute!) and always friendly and helpful. His drawings are spot on and I have had no issues with either Planning or Building Control. Would I use Draft2Design again - yes, definitely! (Reviewed October 2019)

Mike guided Laura and I through the whole process of our house redesign, there are quite a few hoops to jump through and without Mike we would have majorly struggled!
