We were put in touch with RAR by our builders, having had no previous experience of engaging and working with an architect. As it turned out, we could not have chosen a better firm to work with.

RAR Architecture were brilliant from start to finish. They handled the design, planning permission, and building regulation drawings for my extension, and made the whole process so easy.
The design was spot on – they really listened to what I wanted and came up with clever ideas I wouldn’t have thought of. They also took care of all the planning permission hassle, keeping me updated throughout.
The drawings were clear and detailed, and my builder had no issues working from them. Overall, a professional and reliable service. I’d definitely recommend RAR Architecture to anyone!
