Arthur Bennett – Commercial Manager RG Carter

Having worked with Franks and Toms Architects on a large Design and Build Retail development, I can confirm that they offer a first class service. Very practical and positive in their approach. Nothing is too hard for them.

Adam Wright ISG.

We have now completed Brent Cross Shopping Centre project to the value of £7.3m. Your input and technical support as lead Design Manager and in house Architect at Brent Cross shopping Centre has ensured that  we have managed all the client’s expectations and designed a buildable scheme with value engineering to accommodate the budget at all times.

Your attention to details and understanding the implementation of build ability has been excellent from start to finish along with maintaining excellent communication and relationships with both client and consultants and as such have been a major element in the overall success of this project.

Chris Solle Project Administrator – Charter Constuction.

In my role of Project Administrator with the Main Contractor, Charter Construction, I have recently completed working with Franks & Toms on a £4 million Design & Build project for five new linked restaurants in Bromley, Kent.

Over the 12 month period of the project I found them to be highly professional, very attentive to detail and exemplary in carrying out all of their role of Project Architects. Indeed on many occasions they carried out numerous additional design tasks way beyond the scope of their terms of engagement without hesitation to assist the smooth running of the project.

On a personal note I also found those employed in the practice to be extremely friendly and what I could only describe as being ‘true gentlemen’ and would not hesitate to engage their services in the future, indeed would actively seek to do so in preference to all other Architects Practices I have been involved with over the past 30 years or so in the construction industry.

Darren Finney Cost Manager – Longcross Constuction.

We recently worked with Franks and Toms Architects on an extension to Her Majesty’s Prison at Springhill, Aylesbury. The service they provided was superb and they went over and above the duties they were appointed for. We would have no hesitation in recommending them in the future as our Architects.

client

Julie Finley MD – Finley Structures

Working with Franks + Toms Architects has been a dream. We are a family run business celebrating 15 years in the construction industry manufacturing and installing structural steel work.

We had never been involved in a renovation project before and the new venture of an extreme sports facility with cafe/restaurant and bar felt slightly outside our comfort zone. Franks + Toms Architects helped the project become a reality rather than a nightmare. They provided us with great idea’s, the concept helped keep our budget under control and, most importantly, provided realistic, creative input into the building capturing the history.

The added advantage was that they are friendly, down-to-earth and fun to work with. Their enthusiasm is contagious and I’d recommend Franks + Toms highly to any prospective client.

Working with Stephen and his team on the plans for our renovation has been an absolute pleasure. I am not often pleasantly surprised but Stephen surpassed my expectations. He was so friendly and pleasant to deal with, turned up exactly when expected, communicated clearly and just ‘got’ what we wanted. Plans were delivered on schedule and he kept us up to date throughout the whole planning process. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

We used Franks and Toms to draw up plans for our loft conversion and extension after seeing their work elsewhere, and we’re really pleased with the result. They were really thorough in their approach, responsive to our requests and guided us through the planning process. Great service and I’d highly recommend!
