## About
With hubs across Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Wiltshire, Devon & Cornwall, Kennet Design is a dynamic, forward-thinking practice specialising in residential architecture covering the whole of the South of England. Whether your project is large or small, traditional or contemporary, we'll work hard to realise your dream home even if you're working to a tight budget.

We bring together all the third parties so you don't have to, obtain the necessary consents, even find and appoint a local, trusted building contractor and oversee your build for you as well if you wish. Our ultimate aim is that our clients enjoy a stree-free project whether that be a house extension, loft conversion or a new build home. We want them to be thrilled with the results. So get in touch with us today and tell us about dream home ideas.

## 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.
