We have worked closely with James on a few different projects now and it has been a great experience from design to completion.
Clear, concise design and drawings made the construction process extremely smooth.
We would highly recommend James Williamson Architects.

James was an excellent architect for our downstairs renovation project, very reliable, professional, friendly and accomodating to our requirements. James took our initial thinking and came back with some fantastic designs, challenged our thinking and rescoped areas where needed. After that James was very responsive and went above and beyond with his help: setting up discussions with contractors, contacting Building Control, recommeding suppliers. We are so pleased with the finished result. Would not hesitate to recommend James.

James is an absolute pleasure to work with, he took a lot of time to listen and take onboard what we wanted. He carried out all the necessary paperwork with council which made things super easy for us. His drawings are extremely well detailed right down to the 3d mockup drawings of our extension which was nice touch, it gave a feeling of real progress with our project before it had even begun. I've recommended James to several friends and wouldn't hesitate in recommending him again.

I am beyond thrilled with the end result, and I couldn't be happier with the decision to work with James.

Hi Im Shaun, Bricklayer/ General Builder. In the nearly 40 years Ive been working in the construction industry I have worked with and for many good architects. James Williamson Architects trumps them all. Genuine, polite, helpful and professional service from the first call through to site meetings and dealing with the local authorities. I would happily recommend JMA to any prospective clients for peace of mind in the transition from drawings to completed project.
