We were put in touch with Chris Sinkinson of Homeplan Designs by a friend. We had been talking about having an extension but never really had ideas or any clue of the process involved. Chris arrived for the first meeting on time and clearly and precisely explained the process and listened to our remit. We wanted to create an extension that looked like it had been designed as part of the house from the outset, not just a block stuck on the end. Chris did a survey that day and within one week had the initial draft of plans for us to review. I must admit I was impressed with the speed of service and initial ideas which he presented. His approach is very much based on 3D modelling, so it is very easy to visualise the design.

Chris also has many years of experience in the field and works closely with the town planners to give us, the customer, real and practical advice on what is acceptable to them or not. This is verified by our own experience. Our plans were quite extensive compared to what had already been developed on similar houses in the street, but Chris was confident there wouldn’t be a major problem, which turned out to be true. The whole process took no more than 6 weeks.

Any other requests for advice or tweaks to the design from our side have been dealt with quickly and efficiently and I would have no objection in recommending Homeplan Designs to anyone considering a building project.
