I engaged the services of Chris Sinkinson in the planning of an extension to my home.

I found Chris extremely pleasant to deal with in person, proactive with ideas and subsequently very efficient in providing the architectural drawings.
He organised the submission of documents to the council for planning approval and then liased with the planning department  as was required.
Following the planning approval he was very prompt in continuing the submission for buildings regulations approval.

He is informative and always prompt in dealing with matters via email.

“We couldn’t be more pleased with the outstanding service provided by Chris Sinkinson at Homeplan Designs. From the initial concept to the final architectural plans, his design expertise and creativity was truly impressive. He took the time to understand our vision and needs, translating them into a beautiful and functional design.

The drawing of the architectural plans was handled with precision and professionalism. Every detail was meticulously considered, resulting in comprehensive plans that perfectly captured our ideas while adhering to all necessary standards.

One of the most daunting aspects of our project was achieving planning approval. However, Chris made this process incredibly smooth and stress-free. His thorough knowledge of local regulations and proactive communication with the planning authorities ensured that we received approval without any delays or complications.”

As a local residential and commercial building contractor I have come across many architects over my 20 years in business. Chris Sinkinson of Homeplan Designs is the most professional Architectural Consultant I have used.

He provides all his clients with full coloured specification drawings with 3D perspective views, which are always easy to Quote from, as all the relevant information is always available. (Unlike many other Architects)

All the drawings have been completed on time, to a very high standard and within a good budget.

Chris has a fantastic office set-up. This means any design work, from a small house extension or remodel, to a large 50 bedroom Nursing home extension can be completed efficiently. I have found Chris to be extremely hard working and reliable and this has been reinforced by clients of Chris’s who I have met.

I would recommend Homeplan Designs Architectural Consultants and Quick Plan (the dedicated, PD ‘permitted development’, sister company), to any prospective client and I am looking forward to continuing our business relationship over the coming years.”

“Homeplan Designs were recommended to me by a friend.  We took on a major renovation project and were looking for someone to give us ideas put them onto paper, do plans, to include steel calculations etc,  to take us through building regulations and take us through any necessary planning. Chris didn’t disappoint.

“We contacted Chris to seek his guidance and advice on updating our traditional terraced house.  The house had a through lounge/dining area with a long, dark kitchen which had a small breakfast room extension.  Chris drew up plans for a side extension giving us the opportunity to relocate the kitchen into the dining area which then created an open plan space to incorporate a dining table, TV snug / play area for the children.  There is also a separate room for WC and utilities (washing machine and tumble dryer).  

Chris liaised directly with Fylde Borough Council on our behalf to seek the necessary planning permission and also put us in contact with Carl Woods, a St Anne’s based builder.  The work was carried out in 2 stages: the first stage was removing chimney breasts and reverting the open plan area back into two rooms.  The second stage was the extension and reconfiguration of the kitchen which took 12 weeks.  It has completely transformed how we live as a family and Chris’s plans have created a beautiful, bright open plan space.  It has completely exceeded out expectations, especially the light we now have flooding into the house.  We cannot thank Chris and Carl enough and are so glad we went ahead with the work”.

Chris is very thorough and has great inspiration and enthusiasm. His design work is always spot on.
I would recommend him to any potential client looking at home designed extensions.

We decided to have our bungalow modified so contacted Chris at Homeplan Designs.

We’ve never needed or used and architect before and didn’t really know where to start on the design.

Chris who is a very pleasant and approachable man was very knowledgeable and informative. He came up with ideas that we had never thought of and was always available to answer any of our questions.

He sent easy to read designs, and and also provided 3D images of the building so that we had an idea of what the finished article would look like.

We would definitely recommend Chris to anyone needing a good architect. –
