Client feedback
What our clients say
Independent reviews published on MyBuilder and Yell. Every five star review is on our reviews page.
“Used 1 Right Plan service for the 2nd time for Planning permission from Wokingham Borough Council. All Drawings were done to great details and it was very easy to discuss any alternation. Great communication through out the planning process and application was submitted on time as discussed. Very happy with the services and would like to recommend it to others.”
“Very impressed with the service that 1 Right Plan gave. Didn't choose them immediately as wanted to get other quotes with other companies which resulted in negative feedback. Dariusz Kusyk was polite, efficient and very professional in all aspects. Would highly recommend him.”
“We used 1RightPlan for our planning application for residential side & rear extension. We had couple of revisions of the application and appeal. Derek worked with us & Local Authority on numerous changes to see it through! Derek showed good professionalism and a lot of expertise on such extensions/appeals and guided us through-out.”
“Quick and extremely professional service for a new development in Reading. Planning permission achieved despite of obstacles thrown by the council. Recommended!”
“I'd highly recommend Dariusz. Prompt and efficient in responding to the request, understood the planning regulations and compliance requirements and recommended options to keep within these. Submitted the plans for us within the timescales quotes and the local authority accepted our plans within a day of receiving them.”
“Dariusz provided an efficient and cost effective service. Initial site visit was free. Helped with plans for the extension and refurbishment of Victorian property to obtain a certificate of lawfulness. He was honest and approachable. Many thanks Dariusz for your help and advice.”
