It’s finally time to plan and build the dream home or extension that you’ve been saving for. Of course, you will now need the assistance of an architect to provide the detailed plans for construction and ensure that your vision is met. When selecting an architect there are a few things that you should take into account before you set up a meeting.
As with most projects, it’s highly recommended to establish your budget before anything else. This will help you to see what you are able to afford and will help you find an architect that can work with your budget. Generally it is advised to keep around 25% of your budget on hand for contingencies just in case you need to cover unexpected costs; however, when we are working on your residential architecture in London we will always strive to stay within the budget, making creative use of materials and ensuring you get the very best for your money.
Secondly, it is recommended to go through the architect’s portfolio for their range and variety of styles. This means that they will most likely be able to deliver what you want, when you want it. We are happy to answer any questions about previous work we have carried out and encourage clients to take a look at our previous examples of residential architecture in London and throughout the UK.
