"Our experience with Fluent was…excellent!"

Our experience with Fluent was excellent! From the initial site visit right through to the new builder introduction service the team were professional and couldn't have been more helpful. The service we found the most useful was the support from Paul to find builders and help in secure our project on budget which was a challenge due to the recent hike in prices! This service was invaluable and helped us negotiate costs with the builder to help reduce the cost of the project. Paul had an in depth understanding of the cost of building material and a good relationship with local builders which helped us with the daunting task of reviewing detailed quotes and ensuring we were not being over charged. This service was an excellent addition to the range of services Fluent provide.

"Wish I had found Fluent earlier"

Fluent prepared 3D drawings and provided a VR package. They also submitted a planning application with some changes to the original applications which was successfully approved.
The architect we worked with was very patient. We had a number of live sessions to talk through the design. He gave good advice and was happy to make numerous changes. The drawings and the VR package helped us visualise the project. The only thing that was a bit frustrating was that the process was quite slow and took longer than I had anticipated. Nevertheless, I wish we had used Fluent from the start.

"100% recommend Fluent"

We have just completed the first phase (Design & Planning) with Fluent and I've been really impressed. The onboarding process and clarity of phases and prices were transparent and easy to understand. The Co-Ordinators Sarah & Louise were very responsive and helpful with all of my random questions as well!

Our Architect - Mircea (Vlad) really listened to our ideas but also made his own suggestions as the expert which helped us shape the design in a way we would never have thought of.

Overall, it's been great and I'd highly recommend Fluent if you are looking for an architect for your next project.

"Excellent initial experience"

I recently contacted Fluent ADS with regard to exploring the possibility of building a new dwelling adjacent to my parents existing property, something that would be more suitable for them as their current cottage is not really 'user friendly' now that they are older and becoming less mobile.
Sarah responded to my email enquiry very quickly and during our subsequent phone call was polite, interested and explained how they would initially tackle concerns regarding possible planning issues before moving on to any further stages of discussion. Shortly afterwards I received a very detailed explanation of likely planning issues and suggestions of alternative solutions for consideration.
Sadly a sudden deterioration in the health of one of my parents has meant we have now had to abandon this idea altogether, but this does not take away from what I felt was an excellent service from Fluent in so far as our initial communications went.
Having attempted to make contact with a number of architectural companies over the last couple of years when wanting to make alterations to my own property, I had discovered an alarmingly negative and uninterested attitude from quite a lot of them so the response and input from Sarah and Ellen at Fluent ADS provided a refreshingly positive change!
I'm certain that at some point in the future I will once again be needing architectural services and will not hesitate to contact Fluent ADS to discuss the options.

"Competent and professional firm"

Few years ago Fluent helped us design our home. We did a two story back and side extension. Not only they worked very flexibly with us doing many versions of drawings they worked with the council planning team to get us the necessary planning permissions for the build.
During the build as well they were very helpful to get alterations passed through planning when we changed our mind.
Even recently I called to get a small drawing, they were so obliging and turned around the plans for us within a day. They are the best professionals and a competent architectural design firm I have worked with and would highly recommend them.

"What a smooth process to get to…"

What a smooth process to get to planning approval. Cannot fault anything, we have been kept up to date the whole time and everyone is very helpful. Would not hesitate to recommend.

"Steer Clear"

Started out well, but "missed photos", no account management from staff- just passing you onto the next person, wrong measurements which led to us having to buy a new boiler and bed not fitting in the loft and lots of other small issues!

"Find Fluent Architectural Design…"

Find Fluent Architectural Design Services to be the total package. Superbly responsive, professional, cost effective all in manages full expectations in a timely manner. Really impressive and well run firm.

"Extension and garage conversion"

We used Fluent for our extension and garage conversion.
They were responsive to any queries we had during the project and helped us with the planning permission all the way.
Once the project was finished a free photography session was arranged by them.
Highly recommended!
