Both David and Darren have been fantastic to deal with from the start, offering a realistic and detailed approach they have dealt with 3 complex and out of the norm applications for us for both business and residential applications.
Haven taken on board their advice and used their trusted contacts for surveys all 3 applications were successful.
Adding to the above their 3D drawings and building regs drawings are of very high quality we would even go as far as saying they offer the best service we have ever received. Thank you DH drawings, we will definitely be using you again on our next projects.

Report
I needed retrospective planning permission for a job builders had done for me in Shildon. Instead of using my usual architect I decided it would be easier to use a local architect. I found DH Drawings, and asked them to take the job on. I just want to say that from start to finish they were spot on! I left it all in Darren's hands and the job was finished in good time for a good price. In future I will be going to them first. Great service. Thank you.
