> "David Robinson provided architectural services in connection with an extension to my house. It involved several visits before and during the work being carried out to prepare several drawings to satisfy the local authority Building Regulation requirements and actual working drawings for all aspects of the construction and services. The work was carried out very efficiently and competently with me being kept fully in the picture at all stages."

> "David Robinson attended my property as agreed to discuss the plans and drawings for my proposed extension. He was knowledgeable, professional and his experience shone. The end result was quickly turned around and I was provided with high quality drawings I was able to progress the building work with. A personal preference meant an amendment of the plans was required and DRD were quick to reassess and provided amended plans without hesitation or delay. Overall, a fantastic service who I couldn't recommend enough."

## 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.
