Very professional work. Sujata provided many design options and helped us select the most suitable one for our requirements and budget. She was very flexible in making alterations and demonstrated pragmatic experience. She managed the planning application process very efficiently, dealing with council issues and concerns, which led to a successful outcome. I would recommend Sujata for her pricing and the standard of service she provided to us.

I used Minesh for 3 projects for my house renovation, this included the drawings for the planning permission and then for all the building regulations that my projects needed. He was professional, patient with my total lack of knowledge about building and always responded to me quickly via email or phone. The drawings were exactly what I had envisaged for my extension so he listened to exactly what I wanted. I would highly recommend him.

James was instructed to review and improve an existing planning consent inherited after purchasing a site for development. The inherited consent was for thee townhouses and two semi detached properties. It had not been prepared very well and James was able to re-work the internal arrangements to produce a much more satisfactory layout throughout all the five buildings and even creating new garden space as well. This re-worked overall design is much more attractive both aesthetically and practically for an end-user resulting in a quite substantial increase in market value for the scheme overall following re-valuation and will undoubtedly assist the eventual marketing. The service has been very impressive being prompt, reliable, going further than the original brief in some instances to deliver the final revised approved planning consent -a task in itself with the planning authority concerned - and undertaken with a high degree of professionalism throughout. I look forward to working with James on future projects and would recommend his services without hesitation.

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.
