Review Comments
On the advice of our builder we approached Fouin and Bell to assist with the design and construction of an extension in early 2021. We are very happy that we did so as we received excellent advice and support from the company. A senior representative responded promptly to our approach and following a site visit and discussion of our requirements was able to produce an innovative design which maximised the potential if the available plot. Initial plans were quickly generated and an engineer appointed leading to final plans being submitted to local Building Standards, Throughout the process the companies architect was available by phone or email for dialogue and responsive to suggested changes as our ideas developed on the plans.
Our experience of using Fouin and Bell has been very positive and I would recommend the company to others without reservation.

We engaged Ian Christie of F+B Architects as we are knocking down internal walls to make a large kitchen/dining/decking area at the rear of the house. Service was most professional and the many suggestions/ options that were proposed certainly left us with much to choose from . The friendly expert guidance of what was/ was not possible enabled us to get the best outcome for the project. Would use them without hesitation and happily recommend their services.

Their professionalism throughout this project has been excellent. I would have no hesitation in recommending Fouin +Bell for future works. Great all round team.

Our company has used Fouin and Bell for over 10 years to provide a full architectural service on numerous housing and flatted residential projects.
The dedicated team at Fouin and Bell are approachable, diligent, trustworthy and are always open to working with us in terms of looking at various options, working to compressed timescales and assisting our business in working through the complexities of option appraisals, planning permissions, technical consents and construction drawings.
They are a valued member of our design team and at all times are respectful of others and open to working with team members.

Fouin & Bell were appointed architects for a major refurbishment of the EIS Headquarters in listed buildings at Moray Place Edinburgh approximately 4 years ago. Whilst there were difficulties with the contractors Fouin & Bell were diligent committed and professional throughout. Their abilities are best illustrated by the fact that they were subsequently appointed as architects for a similar albeit smaller scale refurbishment of our Area Offices in Glasgow.

Recently Fouin and Bell provided design services for a recent office improvement project and managed all of the permissions, warrants and technical communication with CEC building control.
We found Fouin and Bell to be thorough, efficient, knowledgeable and approachable throughout the project.
