## About
Gresford Architects seek to create buildings that are thoughtful, practical, sustainable and beautiful. We are experts in Passivhaus design and sustainable building and believe that buildings should be comfortable, designed to last and to use energy and materials as efficiently as possible. Gresford Architects take pride in building creative and long lasting, collaborative relationships with our clients and contractors. We believe that taking a hands on approach and engaging with those involved in a project is crucial to a successful outcome, and makes for a more rewarding and meaningful experience along the way. Our portfolio ranges from large renovations and extensions to private residential new buildings to large commercial refurbishments. We enjoy working with new and existing buildings, and have extensive experience of working with listed properties. All projects are characterised by a keen sense of craftsmanship and an enthusiasm for exploring surfaces, joints, textures and light. Conscious that our approach to the built environment has a fundamental impact on our cultural heritage, Gresford Architects endeavour to achieve the perfect marriage of the poetic and the practical.

## 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.
