Debbie Bennett
When in need of an architect, I selected Paul from Profile Architects due to my admiration for his previous projects and his valuable experience dealing with my local council's considerations. The task involved converting a large workshop and shed into an approved C3 residence. I have a keen interest in small homes and the inventive utilization of space. Paul skillfully adapted the existing structure into an impressive compact home, fulfilling all C3 requirements without the need for a complete overhaul. Beyond the brilliant design, Paul was pivotal in navigating the planning process and was always willing to address my inquiries and concerns. I wouldn't hesitate to endorse Profile Architects for your architectural needs.

Paul and the team at Profile Architects did an amazing job in securing the planning permission in the conservation area we live in. They went above and beyond in a complex and drawn out case, until we were successful, I can't thank them enough.

Paul & Annabel offer a fantastic, professional, friendly and thorough service. They fully understood our brief and were happy to make tweaks and adjustments throughout the design process. The VR capability really brought the project to life and it was so exciting to get a feel for the space at such an early stage in the process. PROFILE managed the planning application seamlessly and, with this being our first build, also guided us on all other third parties we needed to bring in. Paul also made himself available once the build work had started on the couple of occasions we needed to consult regarding the plans. Our builders - and others we spoke to during the tender process - reassured us that PROFILE’s plans are always clear, detailed and accurate, meaning minimal need for input from the architects once the project is handed over to the construction team. And that has certainly been the case.

We chose to go with Profile Architects for our double garage conversion into an annex in Folkestone.
In short we are so happy with the decision to go with them.
This was our first ever big project where planning permission would be required and the garages were surrounded by neighbours on two sides and positioned on the road at the front so there were many complex challenges that required a team who knew the planning requirements.
We also had a very tight budget, even to the point where at the beginning I was not sure if we went for an architect firm that were too established.
Looking back we really had no idea what we could/couldn't achieve and in many ways the project would not have happened if it wasn't for Profile.
They created multiple designs, invited us to their studio where we virtually walked around the building. We changed the design multiple times but they were very accommodating, even working on the interact details of the design. They provided incredibly useful drawings, and even used a drone to ensure the pictures were perfect.
Profile Architects put us in contact with the structural engineer.
Profile Architects submitted the planning application on our behalf, and chased planning to ensure we received the approvals.
Once approved, they provided a list of potential building companies, which honestly I wouldn't have known of if I hadn't chosen them.
Once the builders started there has been multiple questions back to Paul and Oscar from Profile Architects and they have answered them swiftly.
Now I am aware of the number of issues that arise from a project I am so grateful we went with Profile Architects.

We have been working with Profile Architects as a charitable organisation on a community project for some time now. Thanks to Paul & his team's dedication and expertise, we have presented to planners a forward thinking, sustainable and creative community building. This has been a complex and challenging project that has involved a large team and significant number of stakeholders. Profile have managed the demands of multiple rounds of public consultation with such skill, endless enthusiasm and have excelled in engaging the local community, Parish Council and potential funders. Profile are a determined company with a genuine interest and passion for communities and creating purposeful facilities that respond directly to the needs and wishes of their beneficiaries. Whatever challenges present themselves through the process (ecological issues, flood risk, highways and access, to name but a few), Profile are more than equipped to navigate confidently through. We offer the highest of reccomendations for what we feel is a service that will be unmatched in terms of expertise, dedication and passion.

If you are looking for an architect who is professional, friendly and knowledgeable then Profile architects are for you. Paul and his team have been a pleasure to work with while designing and planning our loft conversion. Paul was communicative when I had questions, kept us up to date on timescales throughout and put up with me making changes to the design! They handled the application process and liaised with planners and structural engineer as required. They also have a VR system by which you could visualise to scale the final plans which I found particularly useful. Can’t speak highly enough of them and would certainly recommend.

We commissioned Paul and the PROFILE team to undertake the most challenging of residential projects - squeeze more floor area out of a two bedroom first floor apartment in London. The building is a converted 1880’s school with high ceilings and existing mezzanine level. Through Paul and his teams creativity, they proposed a new mezzanine deck forming a new bedroom that complimented the existing mezzanine level without impacting the ‘open feel’ of the living space. Paul was excellent at dealing with all Building Control issues (including fire separation and clear head height issues that both had the potential to be show stoppers). The 3D renders produced by the PROFILE team helped us picture the possibilities while also assisting the Contractor team to understand what was required and accurately cost the works. The construction works went smoothly (and to budget!) which was testament to the detail produced by the PROFILE team. We now have a 3 bed apartment which has certainly added space for the family to grow and value to the property - we couldn’t be happier. Thank you PROFILE!

Great, professional service from Paul and Talia and the team... A Superb design to the brief set by me leaving scope to change it if needed. Consistently working alongside myself and the local authority on my behalf. Paul takes over the headache to put himself forward to manage anything that is required. Once this the first project is completed I look forward to working on the next project with them. Thanks again guys

'Profile' were amazing, their level of detail they put into the planning application was extraordinary! communication with the team was really easy indeed, and all of my wishes and concerns were looked at, talked about at length and an intelligent argument was presented to the planners for consideration.
I really could not have asked for more. We have had 2 projects taken care of by 'Profile' and our third is in the making with Profile. They are my 'go to team' to get it done!
