# David Machell Architecture

David Machell Architecture is an architect in Southport. Rated 5.0/5 from 1 public review across 1 review source. This is the MyTrustedTraders public-evidence profile for this trader, with independent reviews, credentials and registry data from named public sources, no ads, and no paid placement.

Trust Score: 33 out of 100, with a caution: only 1 review held yet. A small public record keeps the evidence thin, and the score reflects that.

Operating since at least 2020 (6 years), according to an independent source, not just their own word.

We cross-checked Companies House: this business is officially registered for work that matches the architect services it advertises - independent confirmation it's a genuine business set up to do this kind of work, not just a directory entry.

## About
David Machell Architecture prides itself on producing exceptional designs with strong attention to detail, grounded in local context - applying these clear ideas to projects can create beautiful spaces in which to live. The aim is simple - to make everyday architecture, extraordinary. The practice specialises in residential and commercial architecture ranging from single or two storey extensions and loft conversions to office and multi-unit residential design. Architectural drawings can be produced for Planning Applications, Permitted Development and Building Regulations, whilst also liaising with Local Authorities and Statutory Bodies. Based in Southport, UK, but operating throughout Merseyside, West Lancashire and Northwest England starting a new project can be a daunting experience, so the practice ethos is to provide a trusted and professional architectural service to help meet your needs.

## 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.
