Zidouri Architecture | Nottingham Architectural Designers - Nottingham

Hamed A.

I recently collaborated with Zidouri Architecture, a Nottingham-based firm specialising in residential projects, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. They managed every aspect of my house extension, from the initial design to securing planning permission and navigating the complexities of building regulations. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and extensive knowledge of local regulations made the entire process smooth and stress-free. If you’re seeking a reliable architect in Nottingham for your home extension, Zidouri Architecture is an excellent choice. Highly recommended!

Dreadful experience from Zidouri Architecture. I can 100 % relate to all the poor reviews written on here, incorrect calculations and very poor time management skills. Frankly these were not architectural drawings produced to us but simply floor plan layouts. My husband had a terrible time chasing our plans up with Ahmed from start to finish. Your marketing is great and on the outside you do seem very professional but in reality the issues i am highlighting and various other people is that your services are poor in addition to your time management skills. I hope that you consider all the feedback as constructive feedback and hopefully you can improve and represent your business as outlined on your website.

Seconding what palavi said - Ahmed is not a UK registered architect! Just found out from ARB (Architects registration board). - His drawings were full of errors.

I do not recommend this company - expensive, disorganised and work is of poor quality.

Our experience with Zidouri Architecture was excellent. Ahmed was always available to help, and his fee is very reasonable. We highly recommend him.

Residential Double Extension with Conservatory - Mr Zidouri took care of producing my drawings and submitting the application to Gedling Borough Council, Nottinghamshire. Good quality service, balanced charges and on-hand to answer any queries. I would highly recommend him to others.

We had an incredible experience with Zadouri Architect. Their creativity, attention to detail, and professionalism exceeded our expectations. From the initial consultation to the final design, the team was responsive and dedicated to bringing our vision to life. The end result was a stunning, functional space that perfectly reflected our needs and style. Highly recommend!

disappointed with this Nottingham Architect. Poor time management skills.

He is not a UK registered architect! Just found out from ARB (Architects registration board). - His drawings were full of errors. Our planning application got rejected.

We do not recommend this company - expensive, disorganised and work is of poor quality.

Ahmed then promised to redo the drawings 2 months ago. Never did it. Now asking us to remove our review as it affects his business!!!

We had a dreadful experience with this company and I can’t recommend enough that people avoid them.

We were initially given plans that had many, many errors on them. Not one measurement was correct. And it hadn’t come close to meeting what we had asked for. We requested this was redone, I observed 3 measurements be taken total, and 1 was through a window. Unsurprisingly the second lot of plans, either had inaccurate measurements or had no measurements at all. Again it completely missed what we were asking for.
The second set of plans were also very late and had to be chased multiple times.

During the onsite visit they didn’t even view or measure most of the rooms in the house, including one that would need a wall removing and replaced further back as part of the renovation plans.

To say this company was incompetent would be polite.

Unfortunately we had a very bad experience with Ahmed Zidouri Architect company. From the start of submitting the planning maps to the local authority for approval till the end it was just problems and problems with multiple submissions of wrong measurements of maps and the planning department at the end told us to get a new Architect otherwise they will not entertain our application as planning building maps were full of mistakes. After a very long struggle of submitting and re-submitting the maps multiple times and when our building work was supposed to start we again ran into major problems with the building control company as many measurements and details were still wrong. Few plans are so confusing for the building control company to follow and our builder refused to continue work as architectural plans are so out of proportion

In the end we have to hire someone else to get all our maps sorted out. We had a horrible time and our planning maps are just like a maze for everyone to understand. Measurements were wrong at multiple levels , even the structural engineer failed to understand the measurements and plans .The project which should be completed in a couple of months took more than a year to complete . We will never recommend it to anyone and advice to spend a bit more and get someone else.Few of the people we know run into the same problem by going through that company

In REPLY to the Company Comment on my Review

I am glad that you have admitted that drawings were made wrongly for the planning dept which causes major problems for everyone and repeated correction of planning permission diaphragms leads to further wrong calculations which delay everything and you know it very well. The drawing and measurements should be made accurately to proceed further to building regulations and there were so many mistakes made in your drawings that even the building regulatory department refused to accept it and your appointed structural engineer refused to calculate the steel calculations as most of the measurements were out of proportion and wrong which delays everything for couple of months. I think a lot of further experience is required under supervision before taking teh projects independently. We had major problems and end up paying much more than we anticipated with the loss of our precious time and money. Never again
