FAQ

An architect is required for extensions, as they deal with planning detailed drawings that are essential considerations.

Some individuals do entrust contractors with project design and construction, but this approach can come with risks.
Having an architect involved in renovations ensures that your home addition is compliant with regulations, although there’s no legal requirement to hire one for any project.

There’s no legal requirement to involve an architect in your application for your extension’s planning permission.

That being said, architects can be incredibly useful and save you a lot of time and money in the long run for moving your extension ahead.

While architects are not required to offer their services for free, we do not charge for an initial consultation. This initial meeting allows for a discussion about your project requirements. However, you should anticipate paying for any detailed design or advice beyond this initial conversation.

Typically, from engagement, we aim to produce draft documentation within a 14-day period.
