“We have worked with Clive Chapman on several Passivhaus projects. Their team is very knowledgeable in PHPP and can produce beautiful, efficient, low-energy and Passivhaus buildings.”

“The Richmond Charities has been working with CCA for the last two years on two major projects – firstly a new development of fully accessible, Passivhaus almshouses and secondly the installation of photovoltaic panels on a number of our existing almshouse estates. CCA are professional, highly skilled, imaginative, communicative, easy to work with and with excellent attention to detail. Their perseverance with the planning authority in obtaining permission to install renewable energy sources on listed buildings has been second to none. I recommend them wholeheartedly.”

“We can highly recommend Clive Chapman Architects. Their presentation at interview far outshone the national firms, and the work they have done with us in formulating the brief and in the early stages of the design have reflected the same level of quality: excellent listening skills, sensitivity to our needs as a client, reliability (Keeping to agreed schedules), flexibility in response to our changing circumstances. Sustainability is one of our highest priorities and it was significant to us that one of the members of the team is a specialist in this field, so we are confident that this ethos will be woven through the whole of the design. Overall, we have the impression that Clive and his associates are 'on our side', working with us, and supporting us as we discern more fully the needs of the project. Their sensitivity to the group 'process' involved in a large number of people coming to a decision is quite exceptional. It is a pleasure to work with Clive and his colleagues, and we are confident they will do all they can to help us towards a successful outcome for the project”

"In all areas, Clive Chapman Architects are extremely proficient in terms of not only design and imagination, but also in the more mundane areas of meeting deadlines, cost effectiveness and cost control, providing the local planners with all the required information, forms, plans etc. and in particular in keeping me, the client, on the straight and narrow. They are very good at informing and guiding the client, and meeting timelines and deadlines has always been impressive."

"We have worked with this practice over many years and have found their ability to translate planning constraints into workable schemes to be excellent. They have a very strong relationship with the local planning authority which is respected by senior officers in planning."

The details genuinely seek re-establish the historic interior, as required by the original permission, whilst providing a clear and logical hierarchy of age and styles through the use of details and materials…. The proposed works are considered welcome in repairing and refurbishing back into beneficial use this Grade II* listed building on the Building at Risk register.”

"Over the last 12 months I have worked very closely with Clive Chapman Architects to achieve full planning for 14 flats luxury apartments, developed within my property, as a gated development, converted from commercial offices to residential. This was a fairly complex and technical, architectural project, extending upward one whole floor and outwards into the car park, this project has over doubled the size of my property.

 We achieved full planning and at all points of the project, the whole team at Clive Chapman were proactive, attentive, responsive and hugely helpful in all the areas of the project where I was inexperienced, bringing a wealth of expertise in all the right departments, this made the whole project not only substantially profitable, but very smooth and ultimately enjoyable.

 Clive Chapman Architects afforded me a 1st Class Service and a beautifully designed architectural development."
