What clients say

Mark was extremely friendly whilst being professional. On our initial call he told me that I could make the application myself, therefore he very much puts the client’s needs before profit. However, we chose to use him and are very glad we did. He was very responsive. The planning office requested that a second inspection be carried out (at a further cost) and Mark was able to get this cancelled. Definitely worth the reasonable price we paid for his excellent services.

Mark supplied the plans for my bespoke garage/workshop. I couldn’t recommend his work highly enough. Permission accepted first time. Very easy to work with, totally professional and reasonable costs. Thanks Mark and Architectural Vistadesigns.

Mark helped us get planning consent for a change of use from offices to residential. He produced detailed plans, and all the necessary supporting documents, then managed what turned to be quite a complex process. It was great to have a real professional on our team.

I approached Mark recently to discuss options on building a new property where my garage currently sits.

Mark was extremely helpful and was swift in coming out to my property. He was always a phone call or email away and captured my ideas perfectly.

His extensive knowledge of how the property could keep in the style of the current houses on the road, along with his excellent designs have allowed me to secure full planning permission the first time.

Mark has been supportive and very approachable after this, especially when it came to me selling the land with planning permission.

I thoroughly recommend Mark and Architectural Vistadesigns Ltd to anyone in need of an excellent architect.

Mark and his team did the two planning applications for our pharmacy refurbishment located in a conservation area in London. Mark was very responsive and managed to obtain the decision we required from the council.

A huge ‘thank you’ to Mark for the amazing service! Mark made our planning experience easy. From his great communication throughout and capturing our designs perfectly, to providing solutions which worked for both parties when we had to compromise with the planning department. Mark knows ‘his stuff’ – the fantastic service we received was nothing but professional and knowledgeable. We highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for a top class service at affordable rates. Great job! We wouldn’t use anybody else.

Mark has helped me secure two separate Planning Permissions, both achieved first-time without issues – a real pro at what’s required. He’s always on-hand to deal with the inevitable matters that can arise once the build gets underway, and has great contacts and resources to get tasks completed well. Altogether everything one needs in the building and development game. Thank you Mark at Architectural Vista Designs

Mark was extremely helpful with helping us design our garage conversion and his professional expertise was invaluable. He kept in contact throughout the process and gave us good sound advice. He is a pleasure to do business with and would use his services again if we ever need to . Mark was very pleasant and polite. We now look forward to his plans becoming a reality
