Punctual and came up with a good economic design for a house extension
I approached Darryl to produce some extension drawings. We were extreamly delighted with his work as he was very professional and designed to our specification. I would defiantly recommend him.
I found Darryl Shear very professional and was very helpful with advice on planning my conservatory and getting all plans passed efficiently, would definitely recommend him.
I contracted Darryl for all of our architectural and planning needs for over ten years whilst I owned a property development company in the U.K. He always provided a highly professional service, with excellent lines of communication throughout each project. When we moved out to Australia in 2013, Darryl was still our preferred option when designing our new home.
Fantastic work carried out. Honest and professional person.
Happy and satisfied with the work. Professional.
10 out of 10. Quality of work was superb. He goes above and beyond.
Designed new shop front. Provided a professional service dealing with all drawing and administrative work taken care of.
Helpful and went above and beyond for us. Have recommended him to friends already.
Engaged this company to draw some CAD plans for a reconfiguration of my garden and access drive from the public road. Daryl was prompt, polite and efficient. His work was of a very good quality and for a fair price. I worked with him to tweak the plans through a couple of iterations and the end result was perfect. He was a pleasure to deal with and I would have no hesitation in recommending him or using again. Great company.
Nice and trustworthy. Could not fault him.
I was looking for a decent local architect to design an extension to our home as our family has grown. Shear Architectural Design was recommended to me and I'm so pleased I went with them. Darryl was lovely and talked me through the process. He handled all the planning and building control issues and created a fantastic design which the whole family love. His recommended builders did a fabulous job and we now have a lovely spacious home. I'm so pleased and would highly recommend Shear Architectural Design.
Would definitely recommend this company Daryl & Phill were so helpful from day 1 fully explaining how my build would go and the process 10/10
Darryl took over after we had been badly let down by another architect. He showed us exactly how a professional job should be done. His work was effective, accurate and to a very high standard. As a result we got the planning permission we applied for quite quickly. We would definitely use his services again and recommend him without hesitation.
We required a quick turn around for planning applications in an art deco block of flats to replace windows in several flats. Darryl was able to complete the whole application for us, as well as survey and produce the drawings, managing the process as a group application through to approvals. Excellent.
Shear Architectural Design not only transformed our house with the contemporary design we longed for but with it has also changed our lives. The space created together with the modern touch has completely changed the feel of the house and how we live in it. Thank you Darryl!!
Darryl at Shear Architectural worked on getting planning permission for our replacement windows and doors for a flat in Shoreham. Great job, fair price and worked with the double glazing company and managing agents of the falt for us. Highly recommended.
Fanatastic architect , great to work from his plans, so easy to understand and quick turnaround time , Darryl clearly knows the local councils and how to get projects passed in a nice smooth process, from a builders point of view, this is the way forward as once we start the job all relevant info is there before the start , we can just build it and get on, Darryl has a great eye for detail when it comes to the design of each project and always happy customers , keep it up and lets keep building these projects together.

We had Darryl as our architect for the project of drawing up the building regulation plans for our extension. He was very approachable and he came up with some excellent ideas which have been incorporated into our plans. He was very efficient and I would highly recommend him to anyone requiring plans, building regulations etc. to be drawn up. Nothing seemed too much trouble to him and he is efficient in his work.
Excellent service! So helpful and trustworthy. The team go above and beyond their service. Would highly recommend.
