## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "We commissioned David to draw up plans for our extension and were really happy with the ideas he came up with. He was clear throughout about the advantages and disadvantages of each design (best use of space, costs, etc.), which was really helpful in making our decision of which one to go ahead with. We would recommend his services to anyone looking for an architect’s input to a building project."

## 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.
