A Big Thank You to Computer Aided Draughting Services

I need to say a massive thanks (long overdue; apologies!) to John D Knighton of Computer Aided Draughting Services. It's seemed a long old haul to get to this point: we can nearly see some of the proposed changes to the layout becoming reality. Apart from a fertile imagination, the main thing that has kept us positive is the help we've received from John - he has been producing plans and virtual rendered images (I think that's the term; if not please let me know & I will change it!) that have made it all seem real.

Visiting a house that's a fair way away (at least 5 hours travelling each way) makes it more difficult to visualise how each room could/will look - and we can't just 'pop round' to check we've made the right decision. When we are there, we can lay out bits of wood on the floor to show where we are planning kitchen units or partition walls or doors etc, but trying to remember that when we're back at home is tricky to say the least. John has uncomplainingly made massive changes to our plans, and numerous 'fine-tuning' adjustments as we have thought through the implications of each of our decisions, and his rendered images have helped (David particularly) to "see" how it's going to be.

All I can say is: Massive thanks to you, John. And if you are reading this and need drawings or 'visualisations' for a project, John has been (almost scarily) efficient & at times has had to badger the clients (rather than the other way round)! Also, the plans he has drawn up for later phases of our renovation are suitable to give to a French architect (when we appoint one), so that will save us a considerable amount of money… So, if you would like to contact him, (or to have a look at another of his projects) please click on this link to his website: Computer Aided Draughting Services
