Boden Associates

We were surprised and disappointed by the apparent lack of understanding and knowledge of adaptations needed for disabled individuals from an architect who specializes in adapted properties. David Boden Associates expressed shock at the cost of necessary adapted items and expected us, the clients, to source these ourselves. This lack of preparation led to significant failures in budgeting and project management, causing extended timelines and heavy reliance on an insufficient contingency fund.

The building contractors he selected compounded the issues with poor practices, creating a toxic blame culture, spiraling costs, and even instances of bullying, often directed at us as clients. Four years on, and two years after parting ways with David Boden Associates, we are still unable to move into what was supposed to be our adapted home.

We cannot recommend this architect and strongly advise looking elsewhere.

Excellent Architect, very thorough, with very precise and detailed plans produced, very knowledgeable ,also commercially minded and works to tight schedules
