Here's what UDEX customers have to say...

Abdoulaye B

Fantastic experience with Saam & his team! Despite a very challenging planning application case with Ayrshire Council planners, when we thought that all hope was lost, Ghaz (who was assigned the case) kept on pressing , challenging every single argument put forward by the Council!! UDEX managed to secure approval for the intended change of use on both our projects!! Amazing result ! I highly recommend working with this team

Baron Clarcks

Two of our planning applications and their drawings were made at UDEX. The survey was prioritised quickly and the drawings were submitted on time. The corrections and revisions were completed with a short turn-over rate given the number of projects they had going on simultaneously. I would suggest UDEX given their efficiency to produce what was discussed without any scheduling delays.

Samuel Louw

We were remotely kept up to date on the project's progress via a client dashboard which was a fantastic experience. Really lovely people who seem very passionate about what they do. Always positive and professional.

Matteo Giordano

We chose to hire Udex's architectural expertise for our renovation and extension project because a buddy of mine spoke about them a lot. They not only obtained plans but also transformed our ideas into a stunning design that surpassed our expectations. We now appreciate living in our new architect-designed home, where every detail is perfect, and every design is flawless, and we no longer gripe about the size of our home. Strongly recommended.

Shaghayegh Amiri

Udex is very professional and proactive in helping with our loft conversion project. Our architects Luca and Saam had good ideas with designing the loft conversion and was quick to get the drawings done to a high standard. We would highly recommend this company.

Udex has top-notch internal experts who help clients with every stage of their project, from planning to design, relieving any potential stress for those without specialised knowledge. Additionally, they have a wide network of outside contacts that includes suppliers, structural engineers, builders themselves, etc., greatly lowering the likelihood of picking a dud. As I complete the drawings for my project. Saam has actively pushed the project from a design standpoint, ensuring that all of the drawings are flawless in advance of the construction phase later this year. My decision to work with Udex has significantly reduced my burden, and I am eager to do so until my project is finished.

Frederick Biehle

It was wonderful to work professionally in collaboration with Saam and his team at Udex regarding a consultation on the construction, planning, and approval documentation on a project in London between our New York-based office. They were able to mitigate all council issues as they surfaced without losing any time to bid out with contractors internationally. Furthermore, their insights into optimizing solar placement per the client's request diminished the need to reduce the electricity cost. I look forward to collaborating with Udex on many projects to come.

Mohammad Alikhani

My biggest barrier to achieve my goal on my home renovation project was the planning permission. After countless years of frustrated attempts with other London architects and the disappointment of loosing the applications each and every time, my motivation was drained... But I gave my project a final try with Udex Architecture and eventually this architecture company succeeded in getting the planning permission for me. Can't thank them enough. Cheers

Michael Sayyah

This is an early review since this process is still ongoing, but our initial offers were recently made available to us. I want to share how pleased we are right now. Even though we seem to have had a very long list of demands that we really didn't believe would work with our plot, nothing has seemed to be too challenging. In addition to a major renovation to make the rest of the house usable for our family, we are planning an annex for a family member. The best part was getting three different proposals presented to us. The 3D pictures really helped us understand the scale of the proposals, and it was nice to have some features that we didn't like (as we didn't realise they were until we saw them). We are now moving on to the next stage, where we are choosing the best aspects from each of the three possibilities, and we'll see how we do. We have had a tonne of questions along the road and will undoubtedly many more. Saam has always been really kind and patient with us, and we are very happy we decided to work with them.

Diana Florescu

Saam and Ghaz were constantly communicative from day one. Ghaz engaged with us during the whole process, understood our requirements very well, gave us very helpful architecture / planning /design advice, delivered more than we asked for. Cannot give them high enough praise.

Silence Dogood

Saam and the team were very accommodating as they went over the design aspects and our options with us. Even though we believed we knew what we wanted before the process started, it became clear that we still had a lot of questions, which they were able to address and give us an complete design we are happy with. The team did a great job of keeping the project moving and on schedule after the planning was approved.
