Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions before starting a project
When should I appoint an architect?
Ideally at the earliest stage, before major design or budget decisions are fixed. Early advice can help avoid costly changes later.
Can you help with planning permission?
Yes. Architectural support can include planning strategy, design development, drawings and application coordination.
How are architectural fees calculated?
Fees may be fixed, percentage-based or hourly depending on project size, complexity, scope and stage of service.
Do you work with structural engineers and other consultants?
Yes. Architects often coordinate with structural engineers, services consultants, surveyors, landscape designers and contractors.
Have a site, space or idea you want to explore?
Start with an initial conversation about your goals, constraints, likely stages and next steps.
