"Thank you, Paul, Once again for your fantastic design of our Victorian property. Only as the construction was coming along did I realise how practical you had made the space for modern living. You managed to fit into our design so many features such as a large kitchen, utility room and WC while still maintain the feeling of space. It's also dually noted that you showed sensitivity to the Victorian features of the property which we were keen to keep. I look forward to recommending you to others looking to improve their property's.In fact, I've just past on you details to my brother-in-law"

On-line "Fixed Low/Fees" deceptive for any quality construction project, look for the "Best Value of Service" Budget &  suitable builders, are important, but "Quality of Service" at the initial planning stage is fundamental to the success of any project. "If the layout/design is wrong" - Planning & Building Control drawings become worthless.

"Bespoke, Designs By Being Local" from the initial meeting & be novated to supervise on site too. Sadly, its unregulated. anybody can call them selves "Designers", be agents - National Websites Marketing Companies promoting services, some have no addresses/qualifications shown, low fixed fees, high volume sales, promoting 3D surveys, or "Price Comparison Sites - "Value of Service Will Be Limited/Restricted" Pointless,, when your monies spent & the projects not completed. To increase your chances of success, you need to meet the architect directly. We even recommend a suitable builder, rather than trust a "Cold Call Letter" promoting their services. Websites that advertise as providing "Architectural Services", are not architects, their service in providing simple plans/elevations become worthless if they cant be upgraded to detailed construction/specification drawings. The word "Architect" is protected in law, so, others get round to promote "Architectural Services".

"Unqualified designers" - include surveyors, engineers, builders with in-house design (may provide a simple design & promote other services) compared to "Architects Are Trained To Design & Run Projects On Site & Introduce Builders & Structural Engineers @ A Later Stage" We study over 7yrs, possibly up to 15 years to be a fully qualified arb registered architect (Architects must be registered with arb - Architects Registration Board, Pass Exam - Part 3 RIBA Advanced Diploma In Professional Practice In Architecture)
