I couldn’t recommend Eoin, Kevin and Sean highly enough. From start to finish, they were exceptional to deal with throughout the planning process. They were professional, knowledgeable and extremely helpful at every stage. They explained everything clearly, kept me updated throughout the process and were always available when I had questions or needed advice. Their attention to detail and experience gave me great confidence, especially when dealing with what felt like a complicated planning process. They went above and beyond to make the whole process as straightforward and stress-free as possible. I’m delighted with the outcome and genuinely grateful for all the work they put in. If you are looking for someone to help with planning, I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Eoin, Kevin and Sean. Excellent service from start to finish.Posted on Google![]()

Great experience with Eoin, Kevin and team. Very competitively priced and very straightforward process. Friendly to deal with plus always answered my questions promptly. They designed a hip to gable dormer attic conversion with side extension which was planning approved first time no issues. Was impressed as know others who have had refusals/incorrect documentation so very happy with service. I would definitely use againPosted on Google![]()

Very easy. We didn’t have the most straightforward extension because of the history of our house. The team guided us through the process and they were available quickly to resolve issues. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.Posted on Google![]()

Kevin, Seán, and Eoin were incredible to work with. They were professional, knowledgeable, patient, and always responsive throughout the entire planning permission process. Their expertise was evident from the start, and they took the time to explain every step, answer all of our questions, and provide honest, practical advice. Their guidance made what could have been a stressful process feel straightforward and manageable. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for help with planning permission.Posted on Google![]()

From start to finish absolutely 5-star service from Kevin, Sean and the team at House and Extension Plans. From initial contact with Kevin, it took just over 3 weeks to get plans drafted, revised and then submitted to the Council for planning approval. Our planning permission for two-storey side extension was approved first time of asking with no observations. Very happy and would definitely use again!Posted on Google![]()
