profile: why use an architect?
Whether you intend to construct a new building, expand your current facility, or adapt an existing structure to a new use, it makes sense to consult a professional who shares your concerns.

Do you want to build a new home or extend or alter your existing home?
- No matter how small your project, an architect will understand your hopes and anxieties, and will help you translate your vision into reality.
- Whether you are looking for tradition or innovation, boldness or understatement, an architect can lift your project out of the ordinary.
- An architect can find the extra light and space you didn’t know you had, suggest materials you hadn’t thought of and help you find the right builder at the right price.
- All architects in the UK must comply with the Architects Act and register with the Architects’ Registration Board. Registration depends on achieving recognised educational qualifications and work experience – no-one else is entitled to use the name architect in relation to their business or professional work, giving you freedom from worry.
- Architects are construction professionals with knowledge of the industry, its working methods and standards. An architect can guide you through the increasingly complex web of legislation, regulations and contractual obligations. They can also monitor the construction work through to completion and administer your contract with the builders.
