How it works

Three steps to the right hire.

  1. Tell us about your project

    A few quick questions about your plans, budget and timing. It takes about a minute and there is nothing to sign up for.

  2. We match on evidence

    We look for architects whose reviews, credentials and company history hold up across independent public sources, not just one glowing page.

  3. You choose who to contact

    Compare who comes back, see the evidence behind every name, and start with whoever fits best. No fees, no obligation.

Why evidence

The difference between a safe pair of hands and a costly mistake.

Anyone can look brilliant in one place. We look for architects whose reputation holds up across independent public sources, gathered and cross-checked for you.

  • Reviews cross-checked across sources

    The same reputation should show up on source after source, spread over time, not in a single burst on one site.

  • Credentials checked at the source

    We check ARB registration in the official register, not letters on a letterhead.

  • Company history in the open

    Companies House shows how long a firm has really been trading. A company set up last month cannot pose as an old hand.

Questions

Before you ask.

The things people usually want to know before they send the form.

Do I need planning permission for my project?

Often, yes. Extensions, loft conversions and new builds usually need planning permission, though some work falls under permitted development. A good architect will tell you what your project needs and handle the application for you.

What's the difference between an architect and an architectural designer?

Only someone registered with the Architects Registration Board (ARB) can legally call themselves an architect. We show you who's registered, so you know what you're getting.

How much does an architect cost in Richmond upon Thames?

It depends on the project and the scope. Most architects charge a percentage of the build cost, or a fixed fee per stage. Tell us your plans and the architects who get in touch will quote you directly, so you can compare.

Is this really free?

Yes. There's no charge to use the service, and no obligation to hire anyone. We're paid by the professionals who receive your request, never by you.

Do I have to hire someone?

No. You choose who to talk to and there is no obligation at any point. If nobody feels right, walk away.

How do you decide who's trusted?

We collect real reviews, credentials and registry data from independent sources, then cross-check them. AI assistants read the same evidence when you ask about a business. No ads, no paid placement.

What happens to my details?

Your contact details go to the architects matched to your request so they can respond, and nowhere else. No marketing lists, no reselling.
