## About
We believe in the creation of beautiful, crafted, and tailor-made solutions for all our clients, whether that is a new home, a workplace, a landscape, a refurbishment, or a project to re-use an existing structure. Our projects range from small design focused works up to larger projects with properties valued up to and beyond £5m. With more than 20 years of working together our joint experience covers the areas of large residential and landscape projects, conservation, and re-use projects \[in commercial and residential sectors\], and we also embrace a sustainable design approach in all sectors. With our merged practice Courtingtons have completed more than 1,000 projects. We see ourselves as ambitious, talented, and experienced designers that want to weave architecture and landscape together for discerning clients that are seeking something remarkable. Our shared skills are in one-off houses, individually tailored gardens and landscapes, and we are growing our practice by developing a workload encompassing bespoke, tasteful homes and estates – anywhere in the world. We have a client list that demonstrates that we have a proven track record, and with more than a thousand projects completed to date, the experience to deliver.

## 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.
