Highlights
"Couldn't be happier with the service received, Sonny made the whole process so easy. Spent time at the initial meeting discussing our project, drawings arrived very quickly after, which Sonny was happy to revise a number of times as we changed our minds, to get exaxtly what we were after. Sonny was extremely helpful throughout, answering my many queries and concerns. Planning dragged their heels a bit but Sonny kept on top requesting updates. Planning was granted, with many thanks to Sonny/Cadguys"
"We used Sonny at CadGuys to draw plans for our kitchen extension/remodel. Sonny was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable from the start of the project, providing us with plans and ideas that were pretty perfect from the get-go, plus helping us achieve planning permission. He went over and above to help us with an issue with our adjoining neighbour and the boundary wall, which was quickly resolved. Sonny also helped us in sourcing a brilliant contractor to oversee all the work in great time and we are over the moon with our new house. I would 100% recommend."
"Very pleased with the result of my building work. Friendly and helpful architect, happy to accommodate my thoughts and make alterations when asked. Made helpful suggestions and the work went ahead smoothly."

"Architect" is a title protected by law - only people on the official Architects Register (held by ARB) may use it. Confirm they're on it before you commission a design.
Check the Architects RegisterSmart checks
Before you hire an architect
Only someone on the Architects Registration Board (ARB) register may legally call themselves an 'architect' in the UK — ask for their ARB number and check it free at arb.org.uk. An 'architectural designer' or 'technologist' is a different, unregistered role (often capable, but not the same protection).
Agree how they charge before any work starts — a percentage of the build cost, a fixed fee, or an hourly rate — and exactly which stages it covers (concept design, planning application, building-regulations drawings, work on site), so there are no surprises later.
Confirm what they will actually handle versus what is excluded — the planning application, the building-control drawings, and whether they will administer the builder's contract on site — and get it, and a portfolio of similar projects, in writing.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
