I have been extremely happy working with Robert at Digby Architectural. From start to finish Robert has been professional, helpful and friendly. He took the time to consider what needs I required for the project, to also suggesting ideas of his own which I may not have considered. Any questions or problems were answered quickly, and he was always happy to meet in person to discuss things if needs be. I would have no hesitation in recommending Robert at Digby Architectural.

Robert has completed drawings for my annexe and single storey extension. this passed planning on first application. There were minor amendments needed to pass planning, Robert successfully negotiated this, potentially saving me several months and the cost of resubmitting.
I found Robert to be very knowledgable and happy to make suggestions, his price is very competitive. I would happily use him again and have already recommended him to a friend.

We found Robert through recommendations on Nextdoor and he promptly responded to our enquiry and met to discuss plans for a garage conversion. Robert produced some excellent initial sketches and then met once again to discuss options. He had a number of excellent ideas for maximizing the space, which is awkwardly located. Robert then prepared our planning application and with his knowledge of the system and regulations, Robert helped navigate questions from the council, reworked one of the drawings, and it was approved first time. Robert was professional, responsive, patient, and shared a lot of

I am a structural engineer, and have worked with Robert on a number of his projects. He has a really good understanding of all the technical aspects of building, and always produces clear and precise architectural drawings and specifications. This really matters, because it allows contractors to give accurate prices and this in turn means projects get built on time and on budget, which is what clients need and want. I am very happy to recommend him.

I have always found Robert of 'Digby Architectural' extremely pleasant and helpful. Robert can take a person's crude ideas and or sketches of changes to an existing house / building and with his experience transform those ideas into practical architectural plans for the builder. Robert is also blessed with a lot of practical experience 'on site' and can talk with builders in a constructive and meaningful way to move a project forward. When it came to doing my own modest extension Robert was a mine of helpful information. Thank you, Roger

This is a short review for Mr Robert Tomlinson of Digby Architectural. Robert was tasked with the job of gaining planning permission from residential to commercial use for a hotel project in central Oxford. What appeared to be a near impossibility was made a possibility with Robert's skillful negotiation and expertise. The entire process was seamless and Robert successfully gained the required planning consents to allow the project to progress on time and on budget ! Would highly recommend !

Robert came up with some wonderful designs for our extension / garage conversion and submitted the chosen plan for the council’s approval. We found him to be knowledgeable and to help us imagine the space in ways we hadn’t even considered. His work was professional and completed within the agreed timeframe. His costs were comparable to other quotes we’d obtained. Happy with his work and would recommend him for any similar projects.

We had an extension designed and built two or three years ago. The space and shape were unusual but we are pleased with the results. Robert was highly professional, flexible to adjust to our needs and preferences and gave us all the time we needed, visiting the site several times as we considered different options that he drew up. He also recommended various builders, one of whom we ended up using. I can recommend Digby Architectural.

Robert prepared architectural drawings for our extension last year after being recommended by a friend. His services were prompt, helpful and very professional. He guided us through the process from the initial visit, discussing what we wanted, to completion. We would definitely recommend his services to friends and family.
