Manning Duffie Architects

Manning Duffie Architecture Ltd based in Rye, East Sussex, is an experienced architectural practice. We specialise in the design of elegant, efficient and environmentally sustainable buildings for local clients in the private and public sector. With an open and responsible approach to projects, coupled with our experience in planning, administration and supervision, we can offer you a full range of architectural services.

Looking for architectural advice for your building project? We are happy to arrange an initial free consultation to discuss your project and visit the site. Shortly after, you will receive a letter detailing our initial observations and offering an estimate as to your project's likely timeframe and cost.

We have a strong interest in environmentally aware architecture and an in-depth knowledge of sustainability issues. We realise our responsibility to the environment. The planning, design and construction of a building all impacts on the use of resources and pollution at local and global levels.

By researching the appropriate materials and technology for each project, we can produce buildings which combine good design with cost effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability.

Due to the individual nature of all architectural projects we like to provide flexible fee structures. Where possible, we prefer to charge you a fixed fee as opposed to a percentage of the final build cost. We believe this to be the fairest approach as it removes any potential conflict of interest where it would be in our favour to see the cost of your project rise.

Tim's firm submits full plans Building Regulations applications on line on a regular basis covering the full range of building types and sizes that allows us to issue decisions within the statutory timeframe. Due to their office location a lot of their work covers listed buildings which require careful detailing when attempting to balance the requirements of the building regulations with the listed status of the relevant building.
