## About
We are architects based in South Oxfordshire, full of creativity looking to work with interesting, like-minded clients. We have local knowledge and experience within the Oxfordshire / Berkshire area. As ARB Registered architects, we can lead and guide clients from the concept of a project through the process to completion. Each new project is started with a fresh approach, with the intention to deliver design quality and management expertise above and beyond the client’s expectations. We pride ourselves in having a keen eye for detail at all stages in a project. We build a working relationship with every client to fully understand their needs and aspirations for the project. At each stage in the project we engage the client in the process by presenting a carefully considered, realistic and refined approach. We relish the challenge to respond to a client’s brief and site whilst working within the constraints of their budget.

## 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.
