The hiring of an architect is not necessarily a prohibitively expensive endeavour. Though our team at Coffey Architects have worked on a wealth of projects, both public and commercial, we can lend our expertise to domestic residences and know how to make the most of even a limited budget. If you have a grand vision for a brand new home, or a property you wish to modify with a renovation or extension, then the benefits of an architect cannot be overstated. Our London based team will add an inspiring vision to the project.

Choosing an architect is an important part of the process. By selecting a practice who are chartered with the Royal Institute of British Architects you can expect the highest standards of quality work and expertise. Our team will discuss your plans with you and get a taste for what you want out of the project, while taking your needs and the needs and limitations of your property or land into account. Providing different forms of representation in regards to the design is also the sign of a good architect.

Once your ideas have been discussed and the designs are in place, certain permissions are needed so that the project can be constructed. Alone, the process of obtaining planning permission can seem complex. Architects can help you through the process and ensure that the necessary permission is gained. At Coffey, our architects in London have extensive links with local councils and boroughs within Central London to maximise the chances of your project being accepted. Throughout the build, our architects will watch over the project, with the benefit that your vision is kept to wherever possible. We can co-ordinate the project, ensure the best materials are used and make sure that the integrity of the build is not compromised.

There are many architects throughout London and the rest of the UK specialising in residential architecture, but it pays to do your research and ensure that you choose the best for the job. As the number of new houses constructed and completed has reached its lowest annual figure in 90 years, it is pivotal to turn to fully qualified architects for your residential project.  From the design to the build, you can be assured that everything will be in the hands of a professional while they make sure your project sticks to your deadlines and your budget.
