Re renovation of Colchester Quaker Meeting House We chose HP&D from 3 architects and have been delighted with our choice. Mark Potter and his colleagues have been imaginative and thorough with good ideas and excellent plans. He has guided us through several planning applications as we have had to change our minds though financial constraints. We are a listed building and in a conservation area. Mark has helped us on heritage matters and lots of queries as to possibilities. We Quakers work collaboratively and Mark coped with our discernment process and felt like one of us. We have had nothing but praise from our local membership of the changes we have made, and now, as hiring takes off again post Covid, our users. He has helped and guided our builders and other contractors, made useful suggestions and comments on our suggestions, allowing us to do both major and minor improvements. This has been a phased project as the building is in constant use with tenants occupying part of it even during the pandemic. He has been available throughout and now looking beyond. We haven’t finished. We are very happy to continue our relationship with him and his colleagues and thoroughly recommend this firm. Anne Watkinson Convener of Premises Committee

Having never used architects before I was dubious about how it would work and what they could do for us. We had an initial consultation with Mark Potter, who was friendly, helpful and extremely knowledgeable. Other architects often dont attend this initial meeting and will instead send a junior (unqualified) staff member. He took us through the initial conception phase of our double extension, working out our what we need to achieve and why. We had several meetings to flesh out the plans and to make any changes we wanted to with the design. Most of these were conducted virtually through various lockdowns and it was a smooth and easy process. Costs were set out early and did not deviate. The finished products were excellent and helped to gain both planning and building regulations sign off with ease. Throughout Mark and his team have been available for help and advice and we've really benefitted from their input and knowledge. Get in touch and use them with confidence, they are excellent.

We have used HPD on many, many projects over the years now and are always pleased with Mark's informative and useful contributions in winning planning decisions and designing us some great projects to have worked on. Always a pleasure. Thank you.

RE: Extension to Earls Colne: Airbase & Hangar and Grass Roots Build: North Weald Airbase. Pre-Construction Phases HPD worked cohesively with all appointed parties within the Principle Design Team. HPD were exceptional at handling the requests for information and offering suggestions and guidance throughout. The outcome of this collaborative relationship was successful over both projects. Construction Phases Construction at Earls Colne commenced mid 2020, and at North Weald in February 2020. HPD developed key relationship building and primary stakeholder engagement prior to commencement. This has proved invaluable throughout the construction phase and post completion. Summary HPD have been a professional, considerate, proactive and mindful contractor throughout these projects. HPD have identified the need for a personal and professional stakeholder balance, and this has been achieved. HPD have proven commercially attentive and have sought to offer best value and extract best savings throughout the design and construction phase. I would like to take this opportunity to also give my professional, and personal, thanks to Architect - Mark Potter. Mark's experience, knowledge, design skill and patience are exceptional.

Mark Potter and Steve Nevard were great to work with: imaginative by sympathetic to our requirements, they kept the project on the go and made sure we were always kept up to date with progress. When we hit a snag, they sorted it out or discussed the options openly with us. They were very good value for money and professional throughout with us and third parties. We would recommend them highly

Out of all the local architects that I approached for the project, only Mark seem to have the vision of what could be achieved and delivered a first class professional service. Excellent value for money, timely and informative throughout. No hesitation in recommending to others.
