## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Lee and Orlando have been extremely professional and understanding of our wishes. They have been very responsive and positive in their approach. We would have no hesitation in recommending their services."
> Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "I can not speak highly enough about Orlando and Lee at Invent. I had heard of a few nightmare projects by friends so was very cautious in who we used and was not looking forward this process. Orlando has been super helpful and patient with me over the last few months. He has always kept me up to date and whole process could not have been any easier. A great team."

> "Extremely satisfied with every aspect of the service from the outset. Responses are quick, information is accurate and all options are provided to help with best decision making. Plus, the service is highly professional, friendly and provides clear guidance in what can be a minefield in the home renovation world. It was much more straightforward than anticipated and I put this down to the knowledge these guys have in their industry."

## 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.
