It is a pleasure to work with MCE Architectural Services. Before we purchased our flat, we had MCE evaluate the renovations required to modernize a flat that had not been improved since the 1950's. The architects at MCE were always friendly and available to discuss changes and make suggestions to improve our plans. Their pricing was very reasonable. I can recommend MCE Architectural Services without reservation. More...

Would not hesitate to recommend Emma at MCE. She came exactly when she said she would, had some good ideas about what we could do with our space. Was happy to go back and forward trying out different plans until we made best use of the extension space. Plans were submitted timeously. Great to work with and really pleased with final plans.

Emma was very responsive and professional from the beginning. She came out to site a couple of times, responded to our questions incredibly quickly and chased other companies on our behalf too. She has been really pleasant to work with and I would recommend using MCE Architectural Services. More...

We couldn’t be happier with our decision to employ Emma at MCE to carry out the drawing work we needed. She helped us plan out a design for a rear extension that suits our needs and even sorted out some old building warrant completions we needed taken care of.
She went over and above what was asked and made everything just straight forward and simple.
I couldn’t recommend her highly enough, I’ve passed her number on to some work colleagues and will continue to do so whenever asked.
If we ever need to carry out work of a similar nature we wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again.

Where to start…. I was initially contacted by Emma in regards to a house extension we had planned to start in the new year. After a short conversation Emma made arrangements to come and visit and at no cost to herself may I add. After meeting and going over a few things I decided to use Emma for the work planned. From start to finish her professionalism shone through and nothing was too much trouble. Any time I had a question she was always at the end of the phone and if not would contact me to let me know when she was free. A first class service and at a very reasonable price. More...

In seeking architectural services through Bark, Emma from MCE came back to us very quickly and arranged a scoping meeting at a time convenient to us. Now, some weeks later, she has just submitted planning with floorplans and elevations which have went through 7 iterations. As part of that process, she lent both significant technical skill and lots of creativity to fill the wide gaps in how we tried to articulate our new home vision. As clients, this was a significant help; Emma has also formed an excellent professional relationship with our builder which will help smooth the project when it enters the build phase and is co-ordinating on our behalf with SAP calc engineering and structural design specialists. Emma is friendly, flexible, really tries to understand her clients and offers a quick turnaround on queries / drawing development. We are delighted to have chosen her, have confidence in her work and would recommend her to others without hesitation; in fact, we have already done so as my son is working with Emma on his own build project.

I had a visit from Emma who seemed kean to work with me. I asked for some reference materials to see what she'd done in the past and this was in the week leading up to xmas. She didn't get back and this has left me feeling that maybe she was fraudulent. Regardless, I would encourage anyone thinking of using Emma to get some references. More...
Reply from MCE Architectural Services
Good morning Stuart, I'm sorry you feel this way. I do apologise that I have not been able to respond to you since our last visit. Unfortunately due to the Christmas period being extremely busy and some illness added in to the mix I had been behind with my workload. I do however feel that the term fraudulent is a little strong for this situation as I've only carried out one initial visit to your property, no money has exchanged hands and we didn't enter into any contract. I am a very honest person and would never conduct myself in a manner to cause intentional disrespect. This is definitely a massive learning experience for me as my business is just in the early stages of getting off the ground, not everything will run as smoothly as I hope and sometimes things like this will slip through the net. Thank you for your feedback and again apologise for making you feel this way. From now on I will make sure I keep potential clients updated as much as possible to avoid this outcome in the future. Kind regards Emma

Emma was fantastic from getting an early response and coming out quickly to see what I needed doing.
Very professional and very knowledgable.
Emma had even emailed the local council to find out about the local area and what might be permitted.
I was very impressed.

What do you love most about your job?
I love the variety! No job is the same and that challenges me. I also love the travel.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I had always had private work along side working full time till the point I got so busy I just couldn't do both. This has really given me the freedom to take on some great projects.
Why should our clients choose you?
I believe myself to be honest, hard working and will go above and beyond to help my clients get the best out of their project.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I need to carry out an initial site visit to provide an accurate quote, I then need to carry out a full measured survey of the property. If this was provided to me I could work remotely.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I wear a mask and use hand sanitiser before entering any home. I also carry out covid tests periodically to ensure there would be no chance of passing on the virus.
