Our bespoke designs and specifications for domestic design, no matter how big or small, are frequently used to obtain firm quotations from builders, to secure Planning & Building Control approvals and to control project costs. Bedrooms, kitchens, sunrooms, conservatories, home offices, utilities, garages, lounges, games rooms, gyms, granny flats... the possibilities for extending your house are limited only by your imagination, available space and, of course, the Planners! Then when you consider the options of single-storey, 2+ storey, side, rear and front extensions, not to mention roofspace conversions you will soon realize you could be spoilt for choice! Sometimes nothing short of exceptional individuality will suffice - often this will involve sympathetic extension or renovation of a period property, the rejuvenating modernisation of a tired 1950's - '80's house style or the clever juxtaposition of modern design and living standards onto a traditional country cottage. In such cases these projects leave no room for compromise with bespoke joinery, sourcing of reclaimed materials and individual detailing being just some of the essential elements. If you’re looking to build a new house, whether you already have a site, are considering a replacement dwelling, are buying a site with outline or full Planning permission, have a large garden which you feel may be suitable, or have identified a valuable urban infill site, 9yards has the experience to guide you through the design and construction processes from start to finish. From an initial feasibility study, through Planning & Building Control approvals and liaison with you builder we can quote you for the complete service. We can even provide site inspection services with a view to issuing our insurance-backed Professional Consultant's Completion Certificate at prices much more competitive than the NHBC's equivalent. Your dream home designed to your exact specifications – why compromise? Whatever your design aspirations, why not let 9yards help in guiding you towards the most suitable and practical option by utilizing our vast experience in not only the planning and design arenas but also the practicalities of the building process. With our design qualifications and experience augmented by membership of the Chartered Institute of Building you can be sure of the 'buildability' of our designs. ## Public review evidence (by source) | Source | Average rating | Reviews | | --- | --- | --- | | Houzz | 5.0/5 | 7 | Rated 5.0, in line with the local average for architects in Belfast.

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. ## Contact - Phone: 028 9336 5999 - Website: http://www.9yards.co.uk --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://mytrustedtraders.com/traders/9yards-architecture Real public evidence only: every figure traces to a named source and is cross-checked.
