Technical excellence, value for money, timeliness, honesty and integrity exemplify PLK Design and regularly bring about repeat business and referrals from our clients.
These values are manifested through careful consultation and brief taking with clients and the provision of creative multi-option architectural designs for client approval before production of submission drawings. We will prepare several versions of the design options included in our basic fee so that our clients get the architectural design that works best and so that our clients are completely involved in the process and have full control over how their project evolves.

"We've been very pleased with your service in all respects. Particularly the helpful advice on the various elements of the planning process such as planning permission, Thames water build over license and Party Wall Act.
"I wanted to take an opportunity to thank you for the service you provided us with. You delivered to us a top notch service which was responsive, thorough, supportive and accommodating during the design phase and throughout. It was a lifesaver the way you responded to very tight timelines at very short notice with our significant work request. Your knowledge of regulation and local operations as well as management of the council and our applications was essential to clearing the necessary hurdles to complete our project. We would easily recommend your services in the future. Thanks again"
"We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your help throughout the different design and planning stages – in particular for your speedy responses. We appreciate the effort you have put in to make the process as detailed and easy as possible and would recommend you to anyone interested in your services."
"Paul has been very helpful throughout the process of taking our scheme (a two storey residential extension) from planning to tender. He is always willing to make himself available at short notice, and always meets deadlines. His drawings are clear and well-annotated and we did not have to keep going back to him and point out errors which needed amending, as can so often be the case. He has a practical approach that leads to designing out the inefficient or unrealistic elements of a scheme well before they cause a problem. He has also been able to suggest a number of builders for the tender process, by whom we were impressed. More than anything Paul is approachable and friendly, and for any residential scheme I recommend him extremely highly."
"Dear Paul, Now that we have reached the final stage before appointing a builder both Steve and I would like to say thank you for all the effort through out this process. We have found your service to be very professional, honest, reliable and committed in ensuring your client is happy and receives the best advice possible. You have explained and advised us along the way and maintained excellent communication with us at all times. We know that we wouldn't have been any where near where we are today, without your help. Thank you for your time and effort throughout this project and congratulations on a job well done!!"
"We contacted Paul (PLK Design) to see what options were available to us to re-site our kitchen and make other internal layout alterations. At our initial meeting, Paul was friendly, professional and explained the various steps involved, making us feel at ease. His enthusiasm for his work was clear and he was keen to answer any questions and explained clearly any issues we raised. Paul came up with a number of plans / ideas that we had not previously considered and he was keen to look at ways to incorporate any changes / suggestions we had, using his expertise to take into consideration the practicalities involved. Paul always responded to any points we raised promptly. He has also been able to assist us with his contacts with structural engineers and is now arranging tenders with various builders that he has worked with on previous projects. We have found Paul's fees very reasonable and he clearly explains at each stage what his fee will be. We would recommend Paul without hesitation and are now looking forward to the next stage of the building works."
"We are delighted with the service that we have received from PLK Design. The designs for the extension were clear, thorough and comprehensible; the communication has been exemplary as has the work done on our behalf in dealing with third parties e.g. local council, tree experts etc. Many thanks for your hard work; naturally we will be happy to recommend you to friends and family. (We were recommended you by a parent of our daughter's school friend.)"
"The standard of service we've received from PLK Design has been outstanding and we're so pleased that we chose them for our project. Paul Kennedy is reliable and committed and his attention to detail is exceptional. Queries are responded to promptly and what could have been a daunting process has become one where we feel supported in this new world of planning, building control, Party Wall issues and the selection of builders. Knowing that Paul is around to guide us is very reassuring. We'd be very happy to recommend PLK Design."
"PLK provided us with good advice from start to finish, engaging with us to ascertain what we wanted to gain from our extension and delivering several workable options within a quick timeframe. Paul provided additional advice through the process and maintained good contact and support throughout. He provided a real quality, value for money option and I would not hesitate to recommend his services to others."
"We have never had anything other than first class service from PLK Design. Paul Kennedy saw the planning application through from beginning to end. The attention to detail was faultless in the preparation of the drawings and the wording of the application. There were some difficult engineering issues to overcome and Paul marshaled a team of professional advisers to ensure that we were able to take an approach which would optimise the chances that the application would be approved. Calls and emails were always promptly returned and answered and we were consulted and kept fully informed at every stage. I would have no hesitation in recommending PLK Design for their creativity and very high standards of client service."
