Creating plans for an extension and double garage and submitting them to the local authority. I first used Keith Vivyan to create drawings for an extension over 30 years ago and had no hesitation in asking him to do some further work last year. His work is of a very high standard, created on time, well priced and passed by the planning authority without a problem. Highly recommended.

The project Martyna completed was for the renovation of a 1930s bay fronted house in South East London. *Martyna was very approachable and considered my project very carefully. The site was respectfully planned out and we discussed our options together, to fit details in and around a restricted budget. Martyna was forthcoming with ideas and proposals and suggested suitable builders and engineers for the planning and execution of the renovation. Martyna had the insight to suggest particular and beneficial upgrade work that went above and beyond my expectations. We maintained regular and professional communication in order to maintain our completion date. A very well finished project.

Architecture- 20 Apr 2016
We decided to go with Dave after meeting 5 different architects and definitely made the right decision. We've never had any work done to a property before but Dave put us at ease and took our ideas & pointed us in the right direction, using his expertise to come up with plans for our extension that fit our needs brilliantly. Even when we decided to make a few changes to the plan, nothing was too much trouble and he was happy to help. We've since recommended Dave to friends who are having a loft conversion as we know he will do a great job. Thanks for all your help Dave! Amy & Russ Bellamy

Aggi and Pedro were excellent. They helped me to decide what fixtures and fittings I needed (including also doing some research themselves) and when it came to fitting the new bathroom they did it to a high standard and were tidy/cleaned up after themselves. I would recommend them.

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.
