Highlights
"Efficient, prompt and very helpful. We've got just what we hoped for thanks to June's understanding of our wishes."
"Engaged Your Home Plans to provide architectural plans for a two storey extension and internal remodelling. The process was excellent, with attention paid to what we wanted to do but also why so alternate suggestions could be made if they were required. This meant a very smooth process from start to finish with excellent support re. planning permission and detailed designs that impressed our builder. The after care was also fantastic, with support on queries we had during the building process and guidance through the experience. Can not recommend highly enough."
"Work was carried out with minimum of disruption and fuss. Very satisfied with results although I thought the fees were a bit top end."

"Architect" is a title protected by law - only people on the official Architects Register (held by ARB) may use it. Confirm they're on it before you commission a design.
Check the Architects RegisterSmart checks
Before you hire an architect
Only someone on the Architects Registration Board (ARB) register may legally call themselves an 'architect' in the UK — ask for their ARB number and check it free at arb.org.uk. An 'architectural designer' or 'technologist' is a different, unregistered role (often capable, but not the same protection).
Agree how they charge before any work starts — a percentage of the build cost, a fixed fee, or an hourly rate — and exactly which stages it covers (concept design, planning application, building-regulations drawings, work on site), so there are no surprises later.
Confirm what they will actually handle versus what is excluded — the planning application, the building-control drawings, and whether they will administer the builder's contract on site — and get it, and a portfolio of similar projects, in writing.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
