Why do you need an architect?

Architects have the qualifications and experience to help you at every stage of the project. We can help you determine a budget, work through all the design details you require and provide inspiration to create your dream. We can engage engineers, work through the town planning process, produce the required documentation and find a suitable builder for the job. Architects can become your agent to complete the project, working closely with you to understand your requirements; we can design the overall, or every detail. Selecting finishes and fittings, inspecting work on site, detailing just how you’d like to use the building. Architecture can become an intrinsic & influential part in your everyday life… if you let it.

She understood our brief and was able to assist us in streamlining the key design elements which we wanted included in our home.
