Excellent service - would highly recommend
claire
I needed full drawings of my existing house at very short notice and through his flexibility Rob proved he was the ideal man for the project. In just two days he'd delivered exactly what I needed and using his expertise he was able to anticipate requirements that I'd need but didn't articulate upfront. I would recommend Rob to anyone needing a trouble free and efficient service. Many thanks. More...

I found Rob via Google, and after discussions with 2 or 3 other alternatives, decided to use his company, it was a good decision, from the initial discussions, his thorough site visit and survey, his knowledge of the requirements of the planning for what was a quite complicated project, and the drawings produced, all have been a good positive experience, carried out in a thoroughly professional manner, he also organised the full planning application, and dealt with the almost inevitable questions from the planning department, I would recommend him and his company without hesitation, and will certainly use him again in the future
james
Thanks so much for looking after us. We absolutely love our new open plan kitchen / dining extension. Will be recommending you to friends
ed
Rob did our drawings and all the other work for the extension that needed full planning permission. He was able to come round in the evenings after work to suit our time and was always available to discuss or go through things.
He was recommended to us and I would recommend him to anyone lose needing his services.

I Would definitely recommend 365 Everything from start to finish was spot on. They took care of everything. Advised me of different design options, What would probably be allowed and what wouldn't. Also the price was very good for the standard of drawings that were submitted to the council. The plans were fully accepted within a matter of weeks. More...

beth hampton
I decided to go with 365 after reading great reviews about them, and I wasn't disappointed. I rang them and we arranged a time for Rob to come round which he worked around us, with us having quite a busy life.
Straight away he listened to what we wanted and he also had some great ideas of his own too, which were very good and I had never thought of doing. He was very polite and friendly, but was also very professional at the same time.
His drawings are excellent too, and the price was cheaper then we had expected. Rob did everything from start to finish, even putting our planning to the council, it was all done very quickly too.
I would like to say a big Thankyou to Rob and the team at 365, we would definitely recommend them to my family and friends.

Susan
We initially contacted Rob as he had been reccommed to us by a local builder with regard to building a two storey side extension to our house.
I spoke to Rob on the phone and organised a site visit.
He was punctual and very informative .
After listening to our requirements he spoke to us explaining how things could work and also explaining the planning process and potential costs that may be involved.
He quickly drew up plans mirroring our requirements.
Due to the fact he has an in depth knowledge of the systems currently being used by the council, he could explain what would work well and other things which we may need to re-visit throughout the process.
Our initial plans were turned down by the council, but this didn't surprise us as Rob had discussed this.
Rob then explained our options, again supporting us through the process and keeping us informed at the appropriate times.
I'm pleased to say the plans have now been passed.
Throughout the entire process, Rob has been informative, supportive and has kept us updated when we've needed it.
He is also well connected in the local building trade and has put us in touch with some very good tradesmen.
I'd recommend Rob to anyone wanting plans drawing or advice regarding the planning process, he's done a great job for us and at a reasonable price.

MATT
365 did our single story extension plans for us and came up with some great solutions to some complex problems. He was always happy to answer our many questions. We weren't pressured into paying anything until he had done the initial drawings and several amendments were made after we had paid at no extra cost. Brilliant service, would recommend! More...
How can someone tell if their Garage is suitable for conversion?
Determining whether a garage is suitable for conversion depends on several technical and practical factors.
At Architecture365, we begin every garage conversion project by assessing the existing structure in detail. This includes checking:
Foundations: Many garages have shallower foundations than main houses. If inadequate, underpinning or reinforcement may be required.
Floor level and damp proofing: Floors often need raising or insulating to meet Building Regulations and to prevent moisture ingress.
Head height: Ideally, a finished ceiling height of around 2.4m is preferred.
Structure and walls: Single-skin brickwork garages often require internal insulation and sometimes a new inner leaf to improve thermal performance.
Access and integration: We consider how the new space will connect to the main house — whether through a new doorway or open-plan layout.
Our role is to guide you through all of this. Architecture365 handles the survey, planning, and building regulations stages in-house — ensuring the design meets every requirement before works begin.
We offer fixed-fee packages, starting from £600 for concept drawings and from £1,200–£2,000 for full planning and building regulation packages (depending on complexity).
External costs, such as planning application fees, structural engineer calculations, or specialist reports, are paid directly to third parties — always at cost price.
Unlike other firms, we never add hidden extras. What we quote is what you pay. Our transparent, fixed-fee approach keeps clients happy and informed at every step.
Though based in Leeds, Roundhay, and Harrogate, we’ve perfected remote working since COVID-19. Using WhatsApp groups for real-time communication, we coordinate with clients, builders, and consultants nationwide. This open, transparent communication method has become a core part of our service.
Run us through the different stages of the Garage conversion process - what's involved?
We start every garage conversion with an initial consultation to understand your vision — whether you’re looking to create a new living space, home office, utility room, or bedroom.
Our team then carries out a full measured survey of your property and produces detailed architectural drawings. Once you’re happy with the layout and design, we take care of the planning application or confirm if it qualifies under permitted development rights.
The next step is preparing your building regulations drawings and coordinating with structural engineers where needed to ensure everything meets current standards. Once approvals are in place, your builder can begin work confidently with a clear set of plans.
We keep everything straightforward through WhatsApp-based communication, so you’re always informed, aligned, and free from hidden costs or confusion.
How can someone tell if their loft is suitable for conversion?
A loft can be a fantastic way to gain extra living space — but not every roof is ready-made for conversion. The main considerations are:
Headroom: A minimum usable height of 2.2m (measured from floor to ridge) is ideal.
Roof structure: Older homes often have traditional cut roof timbers (easier to adapt), while modern trussed roofs may require additional structural support.
Access and staircase: We plan stair placement early to ensure it fits seamlessly within the existing floor layout.
Loadbearing capacity: Structural upgrades are sometimes needed to support the new floor loads.
Fire safety and insulation: Compliance with modern Building Regulations is essential.
At Architecture365, we manage the full process — from initial feasibility assessment, to measured survey, planning, and building regulation drawings.
Typical stages include:
Initial consultation and survey
Concept and layout design
Planning application (if required)
Building Regulation drawings and structural input
Construction support and advice
Our fixed-fee structure means you always know where you stand, and our WhatsApp-based communication system keeps everyone aligned — no confusion, no hidden costs
Run us through the different stages in the loft conversion process - what’s involved?
Every loft conversion starts with a clear plan. We begin with a free consultation to assess your space and understand your goals — whether it’s an extra bedroom, home office, or studio.
From there, our team carries out a full measured survey and prepares detailed architectural drawings. Once you’re happy with the design, we handle the planning application or permitted development paperwork on your behalf.
Next, we prepare your building regulations drawings and liaise with structural engineers to make sure everything is fully compliant. Once approvals are in place, you’re ready to start building.
Throughout the process, we keep communication simple and transparent via WhatsApp, so you always know what’s happening at each stage.
What’s your interior design process?
We’re not interior designers, and we don’t pretend to be — but after years of working with homes, extensions, and conversions, we’ve developed a strong sense of spatial awareness and practicality.
Our expertise lies in understanding how people live and move within a space.
We design layouts that consider:
Storage solutions
Furniture dimensions and flow
Lighting and natural ventilation
Ergonomics and usability
If you have a favourite piece of furniture or something to be retained, simply tell us the dimensions. We’ll design the space around it so it feels deliberate, balanced, and comfortable.
Everything we draw is well thought out, functional, and beautiful in its simplicity.
Which interior design styles can you cater for?
While we don’t provide formal interior design services, our architectural layouts can complement any style you prefer — whether it’s modern minimalism, industrial chic, Scandinavian simplicity, or traditional elegance.
We tailor our designs to your personal taste, ensuring the space provides the right canvas for your chosen style. Whether you love warm, natural materials or clean, contemporary lines, our designs can adapt seamlessly.
What do you love most about your job?
Quite simply — design.
I’ve been doing this for over 20 years, and I still get the same satisfaction from transforming an idea into a space that people love living in. Seeing a client walk through a completed project that started as a sketch on paper is genuinely rewarding.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I always wanted to be a pilot, but life took me into design — and I’m grateful it did. Architecture has a creative freedom that feels a lot like flying; it’s about vision, balance, and precision.
Starting Architecture365 allowed me to take control of my creative direction and focus on delivering honest, practical, design-led solutions without the red tape and mark-ups that plague larger firms.
Why should our clients choose you?
Local expertise – deeply familiar with planning authorities in Leeds, Harrogate, York, and West Yorkshire.

Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Absolutely.
During COVID-19, we refined our remote working process. We now offer virtual consultations, digital surveys (using client-supplied plans or estate agent drawings), and online design meetings.
All communication, file sharing, and design reviews happen via WhatsApp and email, ensuring clients stay connected and involved from start to finish — wherever they are in the UK.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
We’ve maintained many of the practices introduced during the pandemic to keep everyone safe and comfortable. These include:
Remote meetings as standard (site visits only when essential).
Digital drawing approvals and online payments.
Flexible communication hours to fit around clients’ home schedules.
Minimal in-person contact without compromising quality or collaboration.
These methods have proven efficient and cost-effective, allowing us to maintain our personable, transparent service model while working safely nationwide.
