([Houzz](https://www.houzz.co.uk/professionals/architects-and-architectural-designers/bavian-design-ltd-pfvwgb-pf~598569206)) _From public sources, August 2026._ ## About As a multi award winning architecture and interiors practice you can be assured of a meticulous and creative service without compromise on quality. We service the whole of the South East across East and West Sussex, Surrey and London. We produce beautifully crafted homes that reflect our clients' individual tastes and style. Fundamentally our approach to architecture is human centric - we put people at the heart of our designs. Extensions, loft conversions, remodelling projects, basement conversions, new builds and historic properties (Grade I, II, conservation) - we have experience across a wide variety of build types and construction methodologies. You can read more about this here: https://baviandesign.com/?page_id=233 . We work utilising the very latest CAD software, providing 2d, 3d, Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality. We have over 20 years experience in delivering exciting, pragmatic and creative architectural solutions in the UK, Spain, UAE and Australia. We take you on a journey of discovery to ascertain what you need and want from your property, after which we create concepts that are primed to inspire you into considering what is possible. With the build of a digital 3D prototype we can then hone the concepts into a finely tuned digital asset containing all the necessary detailing for regulations, construction and procurement processes. We can introduce you to builders via our tendering process, or we can offer you a competitively priced project management service to ensure the hard worked designs are actually built as designed. Please read more here: https://baviandesign.com/?page_id=1134 Throughout these processes, we will always work hard to ensure you get the very best value for money, extending special specifier discounts directly to our clients wherever they are available to us, and often we find we more than justify our fees by carefully negotiating as if we were you.

Where we hold a date, the check shows it. ## Before you hire an architect _What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_ - 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. ## Contact - Phone: 07961 363784 - Website: http://baviandesign.com --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://mytrustedtraders.com/traders/bavian-design-ltd Real public evidence only: every figure traces to its named source.
