We have worked with this company for many years and find them very professional, innovative and knowledgeable. Their Building Regulation submissions are very thorough and their knowledge of the regulations is excellent. They are always happy to discuss schemes, and ensure the projects, although innovative and creative, meet the requirements of the Building Regulations.

The Gainsborough Group

We highly value the design and architectural work that Chris and the team at WDA do for us. It is not only the excellent designs that they create, but equally important is the organisation and drive that Chris brings to the end-to-end design and planning phase right through to the build and delivery of development that adds real value across the project lifecycle.

Jack Clark | Director of Development and Alumni Relations Taunton School

Taunton School have worked with Wotton Donoghue for years. They are a superb architect who have helped with every aspect of our campus masterplan. When working with Wotton Donaghue you get to speak to the key people, they ask questions, actively listen and then they deliver the project as agreed. What I think makes Chris and his team really standout is the personal way in which they have got involved at Taunton. Chris and his team have gone the extra mile, attending our events and becoming valued members of our community.
