Highlights

"Barnes Design are an extremely professional team. All interaction with the team was straightforward and personable. The quality of the architectural designs was excellent and the fee structure was very simple to understand. I have no hesitation in recommending Barnes Design to friends and family."

"Our project took 9 months and involved completely refurbishing the ground floor of our house, including removing and adding walls. Barnes Design provided architectural, design and project management services for the project. This is the second major refurbishment that Barnes Design have helped us with and we would use them again."

"Everything I could have wished for. Highly responsive and professional approach throughout."

"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 Register

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.
