We are Alan and Mike and we help people in Chichester and the surrounding areas renovate and extend their homes.

Right now, you probably feel a mixture of excitement and apprehension. You’ve probably got some idea of what you’d like to achieve, but you’re not sure how to go about it or how much it will all cost.

We understand all this because we have been there before. We have helped hundreds of people in and around Chichester renovate and extend their homes. And we’ve done it with or own homes too. We understand the dust, the hidden costs, the planning headaches and everything in between and we are here to help you bring your ideas to life with a careful eye on budget and buildability.

My experiences with Forty Four Design over the past year have been extremely positive and I am sure this will continue into the future. Alan and Mike are professional and knowledgeable in their field of work and I have found them to be very reliable. Thank you both.
Beryl Attwood
This company were recommended to us by a builder. We found everyone to be extremely professional and they did not try and push things onto us just because they will make more money. Gave loads of advice and produced excellent plans for us.
Emily Luck

Clive Mann
Mike and the team were fantastic, they clearly explained the process and advice was superb. They really managed to put first time project jitters at ease for us. The plans were clear and dynamic with a brilliant virtual tour! Thanks again guys, Highly recommend
Tom Neville
I'd highly recommend Mike and Alan at Forty Four Design. We had a two stage brief for them which represented a couple of different challenges. Mike and Alan took the time to understand our needs, proposing different options and we willing to mix and merge to get a great outcome. We also used the 3d and video option they have, which really helped for truly experiencing the spaces we were designing for and understanding key aspects like light and space. Really good chaps and the process didn't feel forced or stilted, as both have a great approachable manner.
Andrew Hobbis
Excellent experience, from start to finish. They delivered exactly what we required from the design to the full planning PERMIT. Building regulations and plans. All achieved in a very short period of time, communication was always first rate. I have used Forty Four design several times, and I would not hesitate to use them again, and would fully recommend their services
Kathy Harrison
Both Alan and Mike have been very supportive of my ideas and plans. They have been able to interpret my drawings, which has resulted in professional plans being submitted to planning. When there were any questions from Chichester planning department they were able to address and change plans with consideration to both planning and building regs. Forty Four are a company I have found very easy to work with. I have found their help and support invaluable and would recommend their services
Victoria Macdonald
Excellent service from Alan Prior. Produced architectural plans at short notice, referral to a reputable engineer, ensured he provided updated input for plan amendments for building control, his professional service was greatly appreciated.

Graham Danks
Alan and Mike are very experienced; have answered all my detailed questions and guided me really well in scenarios where I'm inexperienced. Their ability to manage 3rd parties has been priceless too and I'm very pleased with the plans and the handling of the project in general!
