Steve and Dom Shiels proved to be an excellent choice. We found them on the internet. Our first meeting showed that they listened to what we wanted then added all sorts of interesting ideas and details for us to think about. They then designed a ground floor extension that had a footprint half the size of our original house. We disscused various options and then settled on a design. They dealt with planning permission with no problems. We were very fortunate that that they tendered to build it too. This was a complete joy. They were at our house everyday for several months and made us feel at ease. The precision and care they took at each stage was incredible. They always left the site clean and tidy. The final building is beautiful, with lots of details that make us think wow. We have lived in this house for 38 years and have always loved it. We love it even more now. Thank you Steve and Dom.

I had previously used the services of Shiels Design Ltd so, when I purchased a large Victorian house in a conservation area overlooking the world heritage site of Snowdonia, I had no hesitation whatsoever in employing their architectural skills to design the major internal refurbishment of the property. This involved the installation of a 3-storey lift, the creation of ensuite bedrooms, open plan kitchen/dining, the conversion of a 1970s style flat roof dormer to reinstate the gabled pediment and a glazed balcony. Plans were smoothly navigated through the approval process. I invited Shiels Design Ltd to bid for the construction work as they had previously completed my design /build project on a different property to the highest standard. We successfully negotiated a contract to complete the building package; this was the best decision ever! It is accepted that working with older period buildings is renowned to present unexpected challenges. These problems were quickly overcome as Shiels Design Ltd possessed the architectural skill and expertise which enabled a swift resolution through the care and attention they gave to the building process. The refurbishment is complete and the house is now restored to superb glory.

Steve spent time discussing the design and we went through a couple of options. We really benefitted from seeing our thoughts on paper and CGI and thinking about what we wanted, then discussing with Steve we were able to perfect the design to our needs.

We used Archiplan Design & Build who provided drawings for us twice (after we had a rethink about what we wanted) and both times we were xtremely satisfied. Steve Shields was excellent and was very thorough with he visit and provided us with ideas and suggestions we had no thought of. He always answered any questions I had as we have bought our first home and have never renovated before. The designs are excellent quality and communication was easy and quick. Would definitely recommend Archiplan Design & Build.

Quality of service :  His advice and service from hereon has been second to none! Steve fully understood what we were looking to create, but has in fact re-created something we could have never imagined. The overall study of our current property has been transposed into a dream home with the detail and quality Steve has added.
Value for money :  The speed in which he has applied to our project has also been a surprise, and coupled with his more than reasonable price I couldn't recommend them highly enough.
Professionalism :  A truly professional arrangement from a very pleasant and amenable gentleman. If its speed, quality and a WOW factor you require, Steve @ Archiplan is certainly your man. I cannot speak highly enough of the service we have received from this Supplier.
