We've had a fantastic working relationship with Voigt Architects, especially with Lee Fotheringham. Lee is professional, creative, and easy to work with, making every project run smoothly. The whole team is reliable, responsive, and great at what they do. Highly recommend!

Bruce Sheridan
  Couldn’t recommend VOIGT highly enough

The team at VOIGT were there to guide and support us every step of the way. They were outstanding from the initial design phase right through to the finished build. We genuinely couldn’t have done it without them.

We’re absolutely delighted with the result and couldn’t recommend VOIGT highly enough.

Ralph Young
  Met our expectations and more

I approached Lee/Voigt partnership for some advice on extending my home. They listened to every detail that I had visioned and within a few days came back with the outline drawings than met our expectations and more. Always very helpful and patient. Give an in-depth overview of the whole planning process and how long each stage would take.

Sean Scrimger
  Approachable staff and an excellent outcome

We approached this company in order to take forward our Garden Room project. We found their staff to be professional in all matters of preparing plans according to our specific elements, approaching relevant companies and dealing with Council requirements and subsequent documentation. We highly recommend them for an exciting service, approachable staff and an excellent outcome which we are now enjoying!!

Bill Leheny
  Gold standard service

Persimmon Homes North Scotland have worked with VOIGT Architects on a wide range of housing developments. Lee and the team always provide gold standard service and are highly recommended.

Euan McLaughlin
  We are extremely happy with the outcome

Lee and the team were excellent when we undertook a kitchen, utility and shower room extension, followed by a further sunroom extension a few years later. They were great at interpreting our ideas and putting them into reality. Any issues were quickly solved and we are extremely happy with the outcomes.

Lynne Martin
  Very helpful and efficient

We worked with Voight Architects on our replacement shower/ toilet and laundry block at Elliot Caravan Park. Lee and the team were very helpful and efficient during the whole build process.

Suzanne Cargill

Mike Lee
  Would highly recommend

Very professional and friendly service, would highly recommend.

Donald Morrison
  Far more than we expected

We are delighted with the extension designed for us by Voigt, which they faithfully and reliably supervised through its building. The final result transformed a gloomy and cramped ground floor, providing us with added space, new flexibility and lots of natural light, all in such a way that it looks as if it was always like this. Their design suggestions gave us far more than we expected and the final finish is much admired by all who visit. I thoroughly recommend Voigt Architects

Martin Thomson
  Making my home my dream home

Making my home my dream home. From the first consultation to the aftercare on completion was fantastic. A big shout out to Jonathan and Kenny for their help and professionalism along the way. Choosing to build your home is a massive undertaking but the guidance and service from all at Voigt made it a lot less stressful and were always there to bounce ideas off of. Couldn’t have wished for a better service and the feedback from anyone who has visited the house says it all, WOW!
