"I would recommend Zenith Design Solutions to anyone as my eight flats in Cardiff were completed by them. They took care of the full Design, Planning & Building Control processes and also the build in a professional manner. The quality of work carried out by Mr.Samas’ employees was of a high standard. The time schedule did slightly over-run but the finish quality was worth the wait. Thank you Farouk & team”. I am in the process of using Farouks services once again.

We were very impressed with the design/plans and the service we received from your company was excellent, the weather delayed things a little but there was always an update report from yourself on the next step.

“Having had a large kitchen extension built by Zenith Design we can thoroughly recommend them. From initially drawing up the design plans, the whole process was carried out with the utmost professionalism. We are absolutely delighted with the work..”

“We are pleased with the modifications and building work Zenith has carried out on our house. The new shower room is well designed so that it matches the rest of the external part of the house. It has given our family a new lease of life due to the additional upstairs shower room and modification from a loft to an attic room” – Jason & Wendy Stickler, Caerphilly
Zenith Design produced a floor plan of the house with specifications to meet HMO building regulations including sensible renovation requirements. Directed by Farouk Sama, all the agreed work was carried out to a high standard. Essentially Zenith allowed for a let property to be renovated on time and on budget with myself residing over 120 miles away!

Hi Farouk,
Having lived in new modern houses for decades, the decision to buy and knock down an existing bungalow and build a purpose built new home for our oncoming retirement was not an easy one. We initially employed an architect whom we believed to be capable of dealing with the demands of difficult Planning and Building Regulations requirements and unfortunately this proved not to be the case as we found to our cost initially in getting the Application approved by City planning and thereafter having to halt the build one month after commencement as the drawings were inaccurate and would not deliver the required design.
You can imagine what a daunting experience this was proving to be especially as the change in the plans required amounted to a new planning application needing to be made to the Council as the amendments required were not considered to be minor alterations. On hearing this news and given the previous difficulty of Planning and Building regulations on the property we had no option but to sack our original Architect.
What a blessing in disguise this proved to be as we were extremely fortunate in being recommended to a new Architectural Consultant, Farouk Sama of Zenith Design Solutions, Cardiff who after several on/off site meetings assured us that the issues could be rectified and a new planning approval could be gained without impacting on the outcome we required.
Farouk listened to us and researched our requirements in full consultation with the builder and with his creative approach and willingness to confront the issues in a practical manner addressed the serious problems with our planning application and our neighbors concerns and he was able to devise a way to achieve a compliant design solution with the planning consent as the end result at an economic cost.
Farouks’ knowledge and experience in the field of architecture, planning and building is apparent on talking to him and we felt assured by his expertise, enthusiasm and design flare. This really helped us to crystallise our ideas and identify the best route forward with confidence that the planning application would be successful. His conceptual ability with our brief and demonstration of meticulous attention to detail (many long hours!) indeed proved to be the winning criteria as the planning application was passed with no queries or amendments.
Our builder commented that the quality of the drawings, the collaboration on the solution, the advice and practical support given on building and technical matters were the best he had ever received.
We would not hesitate to use the services of Farouk & Zenith Designs Solution in the future and would highly recommend their Architectural and Building services design solutions.
Thank you once again Farouk.
Kind Regards

We have undergone two projects with Zenith Design Solutions. One was a side extension and the other a loft conversion, both excellent service, from planning to end product. We would highly recommend Farouk and team

After my recent experience with Zenith Designs, Farouk Sama, and his great crew of workers I just had to share my thoughts. For myself, years of working in the building trade and the amount of poor workmanship I have seen left behind in my own trade, it had left me fairly jaded, also very aware of the trials and pitfalls of employing someone to work on my own home. But, being busy ourselves with a small brood of children plus our own company to run, as well as not having the expertise to design/plan/argue/talk sweetly to planners about a loft conversion, let alone to the work itself, we where very lucky in our choice of Zenith Designs, its owner and driving force Farouk Sama.
Not ever a builder you come across is all things rolled in to one, an Architectural Designer, Building Regulations guru and Project Manager (I'm sure there are more but we lost count, he wears a lot of hats and they all fit very well!)
His small army of staff are professional, polite, and entirely trustworthy but most of all, excellent at a job they really enjoy doing, this is evident in the finished product, done with care and pride. Even with all the upheaval we had including lowering all the upstairs ceilings!,every evening prior to leaving the site was cleaned and made safe, at no point where tools left about for our children to explore our 3 yr old was very disappointed in that fact our job was definitely not one of the easiest conversions (and I'm probably not the easiest of customers!) but any problem encountered was overcome without drama. At no point did I ever feel left out of the loop if I asked questions, the matter was explained so I could understand what was happening.
Old school top class workmanship from a first class forward thinking company, I will bow to plagiarism to borrow a phrase..."Things of quality have no fear of time"
This is the finished product you get with Zenith Designs and Farouk Sama; if anyone is in doubt my door is always open for you to have a look. Thank you once again for helping expand our home.
