★★★★★ Highly Recommended! I had an existing 3-bedroom rundown property and contacted multiple builders before meeting Director Mr. Q Nawaz. From our first meeting, I was impressed by his ideas and the fact that Grand Designs could provide all services in-house. Initially, I proceeded only with the planning application to see if what he promised was possible—and YES, he delivered! My application was approved as he assured me. Seeing this success, I entrusted them with the entire construction project, and Grand Designs completed it within just 6 months, despite the challenges of COVID-19. Not only did they build my project, but they also added significant value to the development. I’m proud to have worked with them, and their exceptional work on my St Albans development is now featured in their portfolio. Within one year, the value of my property increased by £500,000—a testament to their expertise! Extremely professional, highly skilled, and very reasonably priced. You don’t need to go anywhere else—Grand Designs is the complete package!

Abdul has been excellent to work with, very polite and respectful and also patient when we needed time to make decisions, Abdul came to visit us and listened to our needs, we have tweaked the design quite a few times to try and achieve the best layout and design for our home refurbishment, we have now submitted for planning permission (Abdul guided us through the process and submitted for us) so fingers crossed we will now be able to move to the next stage of our journey with Abdul, I would recommend using Abdul he is a very genuine person and responds to emails quickly, I will add more feedback once our project is completed but I have every confidence in his abilities.

We had a really great experience working with this architect team. They were friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with throughout the whole project. They listened carefully to our ideas, gave us practical advice, and suggested smart design solutions we hadn’t even considered. Their guidance really helped us make better decisions and avoid costly mistakes. The final result turned out even better than we expected, and the whole process felt smooth and stress-free. Definitely recommend them if you’re looking for creative architects who also give honest and helpful advice.

Hilltop
Rating: 5 out of 5
Before any builder can accurately quote for projects they will require plans drawing up as well as Planning and building Control approvals. Hilltop provides drawn plans and documentation for Planning, Building Control determination and construction. All types of work undertaken. The majority of drawing work is now done in 3D coloured modelling. This greatly helps the client's perception of the proposed construction project. Hilltop is covered by indemnity and public liability insurance.

We posted a job here and within 24 hours we had a formal quotation from Hilltop. We accepted the quotation and a survey was conducted and drawings provided for our extension to our home. After a few amendments to the drawings, we were happy to proceed to apply for permission from the local council. This was all carried out within one week with some lovely drawings and some internal views so we could easily visualise our extension from the drawings provided. The planning process was clearly explained and everything was conducted in a professional and competent manner. We can highly recommend Bruce from Hilltop and wish him well for the future.

FAQ: Your questions about architectural designers answered

How can I check the quality of an architectural designer’s work?

Ask to view a portfolio of completed projects, ideally ones similar to your own. If possible, arrange to visit past works in person to see finishes and layouts. Read independent client reviews to gauge professionalism, and check if they belong to bodies like CIAT or the ARB. Both design examples and verified credentials show that an architectural designer can deliver.

Are architectural designers required to have insurance?

Yes. Most local architectural designers carry professional indemnity insurance to cover design errors and public liability insurance for accidents during site work. These policies protect both you and them. Always ask for proof before hiring. Reputable designers should provide documentation without hesitation.

Do local architectural designers charge a consultation fee?

Some offer free introductory meetings to discuss ideas, while others charge for site visits, sketches, and detailed advice. Fees are more common for complex or large projects, and often include valuable early planning guidance. Confirm costs in advance so you know exactly what’s included.

What qualifications should an architectural designer have?

Many have formal training in architecture, building design, or construction management. Membership in recognised bodies such as CIAT or RIBA demonstrates professional commitment and adherence to industry standards.

What’s the difference between an architect and an architectural designer?

Architects are ARB-registered and legally recognised, often specialising in complex or bespoke builds. Architectural designers may offer similar services for extensions, remodels, and residential work but without the registration requirement, which can sometimes reduce costs.

How can I make sure architectural designs meet local regulations?

Ask how they handle planning permission and building regulations. Architectural designers should know local requirements, prepare compliant drawings, and handle applications on your behalf to avoid delays.
