Highlights
"Pine Grove helped me with plans for a double story wrap around side extension linking to a single story rear extension on a 3 bed semi. Very knowledgeable on local council restrictions and permissions and took away a lot of the stress and headache involved in this process. If you're looking for architecture and building plans and support then i would highly recommend pine grove and will defo be back to discuss the garage conversion as soon as funds allow."
"The team were extremely professional and knowledgeable. Work was completed ahead of target and to a very high standard. Very highly recommended, will be using them again."
"Very knowledge and friendly. Helped come up with some new ideas which was useful. Highly recommended."

"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.
