"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"

Difference Of Using An Architect To Unqualified Designers, Who To Choose - Our industry is so unregulated & confusing. Anybody with a professional looking website could make planning application for you...frightening, designed by untrained designer, with no formal professional qualifications, perhaps with little or no construction knowledge may include building surveyors, building control officers, town planners, structural engineers, good in their own field. Planning schemes almost impossible to construct on site. As home-owners, your looking to maximise what can be achieved within your budget, not simply in size but potential uplift in house value & "Aesthetics & Quality Materials Too" Architects will be more costly - however the returns can pay dividends over their increased cost's - That decision & risk is yours!

Professional Looking "Online" 3rd Party/National Quote Comparison Out Of The Area Websites:

Fixed fee's for introducing freelance architects/designers (we have been approached - "Definitely Said No") leads have to be paid before contacting prospective client's. Architectural technologists without "Part 3 Exams" no membership ARB, D&B inc design, engineers, surveyors, planning consultants, retired building control officer, may be qualified, but not designers. located outside Horsham with "Free" telephone consultation, how can anybody provide professional advice, if they are not there in person in your home. An alarming worrying thought! Would you ask an unqualified doctor to be your surgeon - remotely?

They appear to giveaway the design part, their services, although cheaper simply do not offer the same protection, level of service/quality that is required. Unqualified practices will use "ARCHITECTURE or ARCHITECTURAL" on their sites, the word "ARCHITECT" is protected in law & can only be used by qualified architects (ARB registered)."Architect is an essential investment into the capable planning & designing of any project, our additional expense is offset by the potential increased "Value - Your Home"

Who Is An Architect As A Qualified Designer?

Somebody who has studied over 7 years... registered with ARB - As local Architect's, concerned about local planning guideline, construction process, structural implications, logistics, access, drainage, Building Regulations. If all of these elements are not considered during the initial design/planning stage they may present problems later - Can YOU afford for your project to fail? Click "arb" logo to link below:
