Arkiplan Reviews 

Received the drawings as expected but design input was limited. Note the Building Control Drawings were stated as "FOR BUILDING CONTROL APPROVAL ONLY
NOT FOR CONSTRUCTION" which made our builder laugh. Probably fine if you know exactly what you want and have access to the expertise to critique designs. Fortunately we had a very helpful and experienced builder to interpret and tweak. Unfortunately the whole experience was soured by a rude and aggressive Director threatening bailiffs for final invoice I had queried and not received a response to. I do not normally leave reviews but given the unpleasant correspondence I received I felt compelled to leave this and note in reviews below that others have had a similar experience. On this basis alone I would not recommend them and would use a local architect next time.

This is the second time I’ve used Arkiplan and they have been fantastic on both occasions.
Our architect Megan was extremely helpful and accommodating.
Very good value for money for a very efficient service. A*

I have used local architects for projects in varied areas over the last 30 years. None have been as quick, efficient & sensibly reasonable as Arkiplan. I had tried local Architects for our plans but all too busy for the size of the extension. We have just been told we have the planning permission which is pretty hard work obtaining on previous projects, this went through straight away. Thank You All Arkiplan.

We’ve yet to see what happens with the efficiency of getting our plans submitted to the council but so far we can’t fault Arkiplan. Everything has been so easy. They’ve thought of every step in the procedure and made it so simple to follow. I love that when you provide comments the architect has a tick box for when they’ve completed it- literally no room for forgetting anything. On top of that, our designer Arita has been brilliant. She really listened to what we were after and provided us drawings we love. After an awful experience with a previous architect firm we were nervous about doing another project but Arkiplan have been faultless and would highly recommend to anyone. Thank you Arkiplan!

Can’t knock the experience at all.
Very accurate and very efficient just what anyone needs when doing a building project.

Communication, timeline and Ideas were what we were looking for. Still a long way to go but so far so good thank you

Arita was great. Very helpful and solution orientated. Went the extra mile. The platform is also very clear and easy to use.

We spent a long time looking for the right Architect, we stumbled across Arkiplan online and it was something I kept going back to (very dubious to use an online service, also very curious). We decided to take the plunge and we're so glad we did, Dave was amazing. We only had to tweak the drawings once during planning permission and this was done very fast and efficiently to avoid any delays. Couldn't recommend this company enough, even all the building companies we were getting quotes from were impressed with the quality of the drawings. Many Thanks 😊

I used Arkiplan for both planning and building regulations approval. I had an awkward request in that half my project fell within permitted planning so didn’t need full permission. Well Arkiplan were happy to work with this and were transparent, and prompt with the service especially for all queries along the way. I am a chartered professional so was in two minds as to whether I needed to use them but I needed this to run smooth and not suck me from my paid work, so decide to use them. This was a wise decision and whilst it may be an expense for some, it is excellent value for money and for me has taken a huge amount of stress out of the project. Thank you to Meghan Willers who had been fantastic. Would highly recommend.

Very quick and simple process.
Whilst my job wasn’t massively technical, it was still dealt with quickly and efficiently with very little effort at my end.

Platform was straight forward to use, our designated architect was very helpful and friendly, pretty quick turn around, would recommend and will use the service again.

Excellent customer service. Rapid response time and very helpful at every stage. Will use them again in the future!

So far, and hope it will be like this to the end of the process which is planning and building regulation approval: very experienced and professional designer, great care about clients with time importance, fast replies, problem solving, adaptable, flexible, helpful, technical knowledge; responsible and professional technical team preparing council application, fast responding time, drawings team taking care about details. Competent, proactive, personalized customer service

Disappointed with this company as drawings were discovered to be wrong measurements in part of my extension. When I contacted the owner to point this out he became aggressive in tone very quickly and threatened bailiffs. Another reviewer stated the same on Trustpilot about bailiff threat but I cannot see that review now. Are companies allowed to get negative views removed?

Fantastic set of plans drawn up very quickly a very reasonable price
Would recommend highly

Arkiplan made the whole process just so easy and understandable! They immediately ‘got’ what we had in mind, but also made their own suggestions, to improve what we had imagined.

Arkiplan provided a great service from start to finish, they were easy to communicate with and their scanning technology and plan drawing is excellent. Would certainly use again

Amazing service from start to finish. What a great company to work with.

Very quick , cheap and efficient. Ideal for our medium sized extension . Did actually save me thousands , no joke . And I stumbled across them online , never heard of them before . If your planning an extension and want to save time and money , then it’s a no brainer - fantastic

We had a zoom consultation to tell them what we were after and everything was done very quickly with only a few minor amendments needed. If you are after a quick turn around of your plans then I would recommend Arkiplan.
