Any casual viewer of Grand Designs will have heard Kevin McCloud singing the praises of architects. They are highly skilled, trained over many years, and will guide you through the designing, planning, and construction of your project.
Creativity is at the heart of what an architect does but they are also experienced in working through the complicated processes that can feel overwhelming to clients. Hiring an architect to find builders and get planning permission for your construction work ensures that you no longer need to worry unnecessarily about those things.
At David Rudge Associates in Staffordshire, we work closely with our clients to provide a service tailored to their individual needs. To find out more, please call 01889 504219 .
Get a Tailored Service With a 1-1 Relationship If you hire an architect, they are there to support and advise you in any way that you need. Your service will be tailored to your specific requirements. Having someone who has been there done that experience in a range of construction planning projects is comforting as well as very useful.
Architects add value to the process of extending your home or converting the loft. With any project, a lot can go wrong. With a professional at the helm however, you are sure to not only enjoy the spectacular finished project but also the process as well.
How much you want to hire an architect to do it up to you. Whether you just want a designer, someone to manage the entire project through to completion, or something in the middle, you can make that decision.
Highly Qualified and Members of a Professional Institute Architects spend seven years studying to become qualified, and even then can only call themselves architects if they are accredited with RIBA or another similar practice. This ensures that all RIBA accredited chartered practices will provide excellence.
Most practices will have a type of project they specialise in, but many specialise in a variety of domestic and commercial work. You can hire an architect for projects including:
Extensions to your home Applying for planning permission New build designs Contract direction and inspection General project advice
What you hire an architect for really depends on what kind of project you are thinking of and what stage you are at.
Save Money Another advantage is that you can add value to your project and experience and save money in the process. A good architect knows how to make a property heat efficient, create a bespoke design for future buyers, and budget spending during the construction process.
It is easy to let the design run away with itself and allow the spending to go up and up and up. Having an experienced advisor there to keep the project on track and on budget can be a great way of saving you money in the future. If something is worth spending money on you can be sure an architect would tell you so.
Hiring a specialist also means that you can ensure your extension, for example, is built with the most durable materials as well as cost-effective. Saving money on repairing or replacing materials in the future by having the right advice early on is a fantastic investment.
Finally, a construction project done to a high standard both aesthetically and structurally is going to sell well in the future. Even if you can t see yourself selling just yet that day might come one day, and you will be glad you took that expert advice.
