Highlights
"McCarron Architects helped us with our rear extension project. Drawings were perfect, planning granted with no problem and they even introduced an amazing builder. The build was so smooth and Connor was always at hand during construction even when we changed our mind on a few things. Work is almost finished and we're now enjoying the new space. I would recommend McCarron Architects to anyone looking to extend."
"Would absolutely recommend, very engaged in what we were looking to achieve and helped navigate planning permission challenges so made everything easy for us. Builders also commented on the quality of the plans so helped them out too."
"We appointed McCarron Architects for our two storey extension. They were amazing throughout the whole process, gave us great design ideas and produced a really clear set of drawings. They introduced all the people we needed for the project and the build went through without any issues. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to do an extension."
